Our thoughts & prayers are with your family. When I saw the picture of Andrew I remembered him from way back when we lived across the street from you on N. Westlawn (#166) in the late 80's. He still looked like that little boy we used to see out playing in the front yard.
Take care,
Andrea, Rich, Evan, & Baylee Shaffer
Julie,
We are so sorry to hear about Andrew's death. No one called to tell us this unfortunate accident had occurred. Mary Mason called Tara Tuesday morning but by then we couldn't attend services. Please know our hearts go out to everyone close to Andrew. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
