I grew up with Andy and I used to walk to school with him in Elementary School! When I found out about his death I just started paniking and didn’t know how to feel at first but then I knew that he was in a good place now and just tried to remember the good things about him and it made me remember the nice, smart,and funny Andy and that’s some advice for people who knew him and i’m not sure my advice will work for everyone but just try it and know that he’s still here with us he’s in our hearts,and just contine being as if he were here with us today because I know that thats probably wanted for you,me,and all of us :( and I know it’s hard because i’ve never experiensed someone close to me die nope no one and it was hard for me and it still is and I bet it’s that way for other people too. But if you belive that he’s in a good place now you’ll be fine!!! Because he is !!! Amen
In Elementry School I used to walk with Andy to school everyday ,and when I herd about his death I started paniking and didn’t know how to feel but then I felt better because I knew that Andy was in a better place now. I hope that everyone can stay strong and remember the nice,funny,and sweet Andy and continue their lives because I know that that’s probably what he wants so just stay strong and belive!!!
AMEN
