Sorry for my Sister loss. Lord Jesus this man that you brought into my life and daughter and of course khole life. Andy was so much like a brother to me he was so full of love and kind to me we never ever argue. He always ask if I was ok and if I needed anything. He always gave me good advise and anytime I wanted to talk to someone he was there. My sister married the best man on this earth. Khole was attach to him she always wanted his love. But sadly he was taken away 😢 I know I will never ever forget this man. He was always busy and a very hard worker. I always discuss different frogs we laugh on the phone he always reminded me to never play with the tree frogs or the red frogs.it seems just like a dream. I love you Brother Andy til we meet again. Time to rest now .R.I.P. ANDY 🐸🐸🐸🦮🐄
