"Dear Monica and Lou, My sincerest condolences to you and all your family. I was shocked and sadden to hear about Andy's death. I got to know Andy during the CCD classes at St Cecelia's in middle school and high school with my kids, Grace & Connor. I remember him making us laugh, especially Connor, a lot. Andy's big smile and kindness were a warm welcome to everyone. My heart and prayers are with you at this time of great loss. The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. Missy Kenyon"
