| Comments: | Well Andy , you finally made it.. Your mom and I laid you to rest in the arms of Jesus. I hope he takes better care of you then I did. I have this feeling that I let you down these last few years and I don't know why. For some reason I feel that I let you down and was'nt the father I should have been.I don't know if I ever told you that I really love and now I will miss you so much. Ineeded you and now I can't have that. Please forgive me for all of things that I didn't do and also for all the things I should have done.
I know that you are with God now and he will take care of you and maby you can put in a good word for me too? I love you andy and someday I will join you there. Love Dad |

You were my only nephew. I loved watching you grow up, you were such a "boy". You will be missed by all who knew and loved you. Love Aunt Paula And we are not afraid, but are quite content to die, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 2 Cor 5.8 |

| Comments: | Andy,
You were a very kind and caring person. I remember you, Kel, Mark, and I playing cards at the kitchen table, joking and laughing--having so much fun we'd never realize the time. Valleyfair! Pontoon fishing! Movies. The Malls. You were happy to be with. I remember when you brought Austin over, the joy and pride in your eyes. I was so happy for you. See you on the other side. Nancy |

| Comments: | To my little brother Andy-
These last four weeks have been very difficult for me. How do I ever say the words on how much I miss you and how much I love you. Yesterday, July 2, 2003, Dad, Mom and I with DiAnn, Uncle Mark, Julie and Austin buried you at Fort Snelling National Cemetary. It was our final goodbye. You will never be forgotten Andy. You were my little brother. I have started a scrapbook of your life. I dont know how much, it will help me get through these difficult times, but everyone says it will. I know you are watching over us. I love you Andy! Love, Paula Marie |

| Comments: | There isn't anyone who could have told me this would happen and I would be in such a state of sadness and loss. The last words we spoke was on Mother's Day and we told each other "I love you" and I will always be grateful for that moment in time. You never called me without saying "hey mom its me Andy your one and only baby boy". I've hung your picture by my door so I can talk to you and look at you everyday and I'm leaving a light on for you too. I need you know that you are loved always. I see such a strong resemblance between you and Austin your son - he has your blue eyes. Austin is sad, four years old and has a lot to comperhend and he misses you. I told him that you we're going to be his angel and that everytime he saw a rainbow or stars to think of you. If there is a heaven, I know you're there because you had such a giving spirit and good soul so I'll see you again when the time is right. love forever Mom... |

| Comments: | Andy-
You were only my half brother, but I will never think of you as any less than my brother. I wish I had gotten to spend more time with you. I wish I would have come over more often when you had brought Austin over to Dad's. I will always miss you, and I know that you are in a better place. To my family- We have suffered a great loss through Andy. But we have gained a closeness of family. Lets take something from this whole ordeal and make it a positive thing. Family is so important, and sometimes its hard to remember that. You may think, my friends wanted to go out today, or, I don't have the time. But you should always make time for your family. I know I have been horrible at this lately. So, I think that from now on we need to band together as a family. Take every chance we can get to be together. Through this we can honor Andy by showing him how much we love each other, and how much we love/d him. -Alison |

I don't really know what to say. I hadn't seen you in many years and that saddens me greatly. I wish we had not lost touch, you were a great cousin and will be missed by the entire family so much. I know one day that we will meet again in heaven. You will be thought of often. Love always. |

| Comments: | Andy, as I sit here and read all the letters to you, I can't believe that when you left me and your son behind that so many people that didn't give us the time of the day when you were alive want everything to do with us now. It really has to take someone to die to bring people around to there senses and realize that they are missing alot. Four years your son has been here and not once did we want this to happen. You left me here to take care of your son on my own and I have been trying really hard but there just is some things that a mother can't give her son and that is the father things, like showing him how to fish, hunt, go bowling, how to find that right women to make his mom happy, and how to clean a deer, clean fish. You left all that for me and I don't know how to do that stuff. You never got around to teaching me. Andy, I have always told you "I LOVED YOU" and I did and still do, I still don't understand why you left me and your son here? Why? Tell me why? Andy, I am hurting so bad, I don't know what to do. Everyone thinks just because I am your ex that I dont care, well I do! They were not there with us they just heard what you wanted them to hear, that things were not good between us, but they were weren't they, honey? Well I have said too much, but remember dear your wife and son will always love you. Hugs and Kisses from both of us. oxoxoxoxoxoxoxox and many more.
your wife and son Julie and Austin Eugene NOLAN and always will be |

| Comments: | Now it's been two more weeks and still it hurts. I hope that this site doesn't become a place for people who are guilty and are trying to make amends. I know that I should but I have that right. I will miss you alot so keep up the good work untill I get to that time in my life when I can let you go.
I hope that your Mom can come to grips with this soon and maybe we both can go on, but never ever forget our son. Stay cool and shoot a big buck for me, I can use the help. Love Dad |

| Comments: | It was just a few short months ago that Kelly found me on the internet, after finding my entry in her and my Uncle's Virtual Wall guestbook, that we discovered by marriage we are related. I found out about relative's I never knew of, and before the chance of meeting them arises, another young soul is taken away. The entire family has my sincere and deepest sympathy. Andy though I never knew you, good luck on your eternal hunt and watch over us all as well.

| Comments: | Well Andy, I think I have finally finished this page. Although a part of me says it will never be finished. I worked really hard on this for you and our family. Im hoping it will give everybody a place to come and rememeber you. But then again, we will never forget you, webisght or no websight. Im having a hard time believing you are gone. I know we weren't as close as we should of been, and it didnt help with me leaving our family to move across country. I know you are here with all of us, and you are in a much better place. You probably already know this, but when I flew home from MN after your service. I had a part of you with me. Well it turned out that the Urn you are in, set off the security alarms. I thought "OMG now what" when the security guard pulled me aside to check my bag. I didnt know what to say so I just told her straight out " Uhmmm My brother is in there"...Did you see the size of that poor lady's eyes..It was kinda funny, and I thought - Even in passing you are still making your baby sister laugh. I miss you Andy, Im sure I am not the only one left here, with regrets, beating themselves up on the "I would of" "I should of" and the "I could of's". Hard lesson to learn, really sucks that you had to die to teach it to us. That John Edward guy is right, that we all need to remember to "Validate, communicate and appreciate" Before its too late. Well I think Ive babbled on enough for now.. I LOVE YOU ANDY.. |

I'm sorry we didn't have more time to get to know each other .. but the times we did talk, you were certainly fun .. I could say "The world will be a little emptier by your passing" ... But i truely Believe "Heaven will be a lot Better with you in it" .. |

| Comments: | Andy was a good guy! Our families did a lot of things together when we were all younger, so we were all pretty close. He was basically my 2nd brother. He continued to be a good friend to my brother Shawn. Although I hadn't seen him much in recent years, it was always nice to see him when I did. I still remember all of the goofy things he did over the years and laugh!
We will miss you Andy! |

Well, its almost been two months now and I still cry everyday. I went to church yesterday and prayed for all of us and had prayer requests done for everyone I know who needs them right now. Dad and DiAnn are probably on their way to Madison to meet with the heart transplant team, so please watch over them on their travels and visits with the drs. I will always love you, Andy.

| Comments: | Although I never met Andy, I did work with his mom. And if he was anything like her, he was very special indeed. There are never enough words to express the void that remains with the living, but we can take comfort in the fact that Andy will continue to live through his child and his family. A certain look in someone's eyes; the sound of his laughter, the shadow of his love will be evident in the ones who loved him most. This memorial is just a beginning: Andy isn't really gone; he has just changed. His spirit is all around, we just need to embrace it. |

| Comments: | To our dear friends the Nolan family;
What a nice idea this is ,it's just really hard to put your feelings into words for everyone to read. Your family and ours have done so much together, It will not be the same with a member not here. When Andy would come over to play with Shawn I always knew they were not getting into trouble. [Shawn was I right in assuming that !] The boys would be building tree houses or playing cowboys and indians. Football , camping in the woods , fishing, fishing, fishing ! Our 4'th of July neighborhood picnics, family camping in the cow pasture. trips to Duluth on the Amtrak are just a few of the things that come to mind. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful memories our families have made.We would be missing so much without them. We didn't see Andy as much these last few years but we stayed in touch. We would always wait for a call at deer hunting time from Andy to see if he could stop by ." Hi Mom this is your other son Andy..............{ Hi Andy this is your other Mom.,....... I love and miss you .] |

| Comments: | Oh, Andy, the years have flown by so fast. I remember all the times that our families,(The Nolan's, The Nelson's, and The Derfler's) would get together to just be together and play. We sure did have lots of kids in the yard. It didn't matter which yard it was, as long as we were together.
I can remember how bright blue your twinkling eyes were and I remember that you would give me hugs. You were so good about that. Than as you grew up into a fine young man and went into the service how you would write me and ask if I would write you back. Then at Christmas you would remember us and send us sometimes Christmas Cards. Andy we will always remember and miss you. May God hold your family in the palm of His hand to ease the pain they are feeling from missing you. You were so loved in this life. Missing you, too, The Derfer's Patty and Ken |

| Comments: | Andy, I cant believe that you have been gone for 4 months. It seems like yesterday that this tradgedy striked our family, and yet it seems like forever. Life is moving on, days are hard, Im noticing your name alot more, from checks at work, hearing it on the radio, reading the newspaper. Just seems like "Andy" is everywhere. I wonder if its you, or if it just seems more apparent now. I dont know. I so do miss you Andy. Life just doesnt seem complete anymore, a big piece is missing and that piece I dont think will ever be back. I love you so much, please know that. Thinking of you always, your baby sis, Kel |

| Comments: | " I lend you for a little time, a child of mine", He said.
For you to love, the time he lives, and mourn for, when he's dead. It may be, for six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He will bring his charms, to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I can not promise he will stay, since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there, I want this child to learn. I've looked the wide world over, in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain, Nor hate Me when I come to call, to take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done". For all the joy thy child will bring, the risk of grief will run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness, we've known, forever grateful stay, But should the angels call him, much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief, that comes and try to understand.

| Comments: | If we knew it would be the last time that we'd see you fall asleep,
we would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If we knew it would be the last time that we'd see you walk out the door, we would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If we knew it would be the last time we'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, we would video tape each action and word, so we could play them back day after day. If we knew it would be the last time, we could spare a minute or two, To stop and say "we love you",instead of assuming that you knew. If we knew it would be the last time we would be there to share your day, Instead of thinking you'll have so many more, so we can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will always be another day to say our "We love you's". And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything we can do's?" But just in case we might be wrong, and today is all we get, we'd like to say how much we love you and we hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young and old alike. And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss. And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear. Take time to say "I'm sorry", "please forgive me", "thank you", "it's okay" or"I love you". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today. |

| Comments: | Well, here I sit, still wondering why the Lord took you from us. I held you in my hands on Friday morning, the anniversary of your death. I had a quiet moment and the tears began to come again, they will never leave. I think of you every day, Andy. I pray every day for everyone I know and those I dont know- Im 38 years old and why does it take such tragedy to make people realize how short life is, and to pray?? I mean I pray every Sunday, but now its everyday and Im going to church every Sunday now too. I feel a little closer to God now and our family has certainly became alot closer. I worry about mom being by herself and her being alone. We stopped by Fort Snelling to say hello on the way to dads about a month or so ago, not sure if you had a grave marker yet, well Craeg, your nephew found you, I was stunned or in shock, I couldnt leave you. Craeg and Pat had to take me away, but it was nice to say hello again, Andy.
Love you and miss you so very much, Paula Marie, your big sis |

| Comments: | Some people take life for granted, that if it doesnt happen today theres always tommorow. Well, "Tommorow" is just a word and may not always be. I carried you away...I could easily say that that was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. And when Austin asked "Wheres Daddy going?", it hit me hard. And Grandpa tried his hardest to explain... but I didnt even get the situation, all I know is that theres gotta be some big bucks in heaven! Well I still cant beleive your gone, I have started my adult life. I am engaged to a wonderfull beutifull young girl, you would be proud. She fishes and loves hunting.
We all love you alot Love your nephew Shaun |

| Comments: | Today, is a day that everyone is remembering the tragedy of September 11th and I'm remembering you and our conversation - you called me to make sure I was okay and then came over that following Saturday to my place and we talked all afternoon about the terror and how it effected the world and you said you wanted to re-enlist in the Army and find the bastard that did this to our country and people. Well I'm not okay I still miss you everyday, every minute. I talked to Julie earlier this week and she told me Austin is going to pre-school and that he'll be in his first parade later this month. Austin was a little scared about school and being left alone. I asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said blocks and books. I'm trying to stay in touch with her so we can all be part of Austin's life. On September 25th your dad and I will be going to a dinner being held with the Governor of the State of Minnesota - this dinner recognizes families who had loved ones who have passed and were tissue and bone donors. Thanks Andy...you did the right thing. I love you... |

| Comments: | Dear Austin,
You are a beautiful little boy with a wonderful aunt who made this tribute to your daddy to help you remember how much he was loved. Aunt Kelly found the website of my little boy, Nolan Andrew, so I was able to find your daddy's. I wish I could give you a hug - my Nolan's older brother knows how hard it is for a little boy to lose someone we love. Pleasse believe that your daddy is an angel who will always be with you and always watch over you. Hugs to you and your family, from Nolan Andrew's mommy. |

It's the first family holiday, Thanksgiving where youre not here to celebrate with us. It is so hard down here on earth right now, Im sure you know everything that is going on. I sure hope God has a happy ending to his plan for our family. I cant stop crying today, we miss you so very much Andy! Im so angry, sad and frustrated! I called Austin today too, he such a chatter box on the phone. I also called Julie and wished her a happy Thanksgiving. Im not going to let problems get in the way of family and friends anymore. Maybe you read my earlier email, somehow, that I sent out to everyone, but Im changing my ways and hopefully other family members will too, and not judge anymore, God is the only one who can judge us! I love you Andy and miss you so much, they say it gets better with time, it hasnt yet for me. Love, your big sis |

| Comments: | Dearest Andy, Merry Christmas! I can just imagine the celebration you're having in Heaven. What a party it must be! I know your looking down upon us today as always, you must know how much we miss you. I did cry today, again, as I do many days. It doesn't get easier, my heart still breaks everytime I think about you. I found this poem online a few months ago and made copies and framed them for Dad, Mom, Paula and Austin. I wanted to share it here today with you and future visitors to your sight. We love and miss you Andy, Everyday and Always!
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, Please wipe away that tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear, and be glad I'm spening Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above, I send you each a memory, of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more preicous than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessings or the love He has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. |

| Comments: | Dear Andy,
I wanted to to tell you that your son is ok. He has gotten so big sence you left us. He allways tells me he want to came see you at your new house up in heaven, but i told him that it is my time to spend with hem that he will and can come see you later. You and no one else will ever understand how hard it is to raise a child after there father is gone. I see so much of you in him that is why i am ok i have the the only thing left to remind me of you. Andy you would be so proud of your son he knows how to right his name, knows his numbers and some of his alphabets. Man he is just like you never can leave me alone. You laways do that never left me alone untill i smiled or laughed. He will start kindergaden in September. I am doing my best to stay in touch with your family but it is hard. I hadn't seen them in solong before you left. I just feel so out of place seeing them. I never know what to say or what to do. Your dad i thinks still feels some hate agenst me but i hope that will past. I try to keep in touch with your mom but your dad never returns my calls so that is hard to make appointment with him to see austin.

He misses you so much andy.

Where can I start? I miss you so very much. New Years Eve came and went with a ton of tears. I wasnt sure if I was glad to see the year go or more afraid of what this year will bring. I wish I could say what I really feel but this was meant to say happy things and sad things and not about being angry at God or anyone else. Shaun and Craeg miss you alot too. Im sorry that I havent been in contact with Austin or Julie since Christmas but as you know I AM trying to get my life on track without faultering. Its so hard when most people in my life are critical of what I am doing or not doing, to be a happy person. But I think of you and I know you were not truly happy, as the big sister, I know, and Im sorry for not paying attention or helping you through that, you dont know how guilty I feel because I wasnt there to help you, but I think we could have helped each other. Here is where I will end this letter. I love you very very much Andy and we all miss you so very much. Love your sister, Paula Marie |

| Comments: | This is not getting any easier, but life does continue I saw Julie and Austin this past Monday January 19th - it was Martin Luther Kings birthday and a holiday for both school and from work so Julie was nice enough to bring Austin down for a visit. I was able to give him the Christmas presents I had gotten him and spend some time with him. He's still not sure how I fit into the picture - although he is calling me grandma Nolan. I got him him a pair a walkie -talkies and he'd run into the bedroom and talk to us in the living room on his new toy...which will probably drive Julie nuts after a few days of him pushing that screech buttom and trying to send morse code messages. I love you my dear son. |

| Comments: | I have read these tributes to you Andy many times since your passing. I have started many times to add one of my own. For some reason I can never post it. Why this time, you ask? Who knows? I was always reaching for the right words to say - something profound maybe... I guess maybe I'm waiting to wake up and this will all have been a bad dream. Nobody needs to know how I'm feeling/what I'm thinking, right? I finally decided that maybe it's a good start in the realization that you are gone that I should write something.
I feel like trying to hunt down a phone number to reach you but I know it will be just like old times and I'll have to cross another wrong number off my list of many. I have so many memories of us together and they are all in regard to the fun that we always had together. It always brings a smile to my face. I haven't yet been ice fishing this year but I would give anything to go with you. I think of you often and I actually think I see you all over - at the grocery store, driving the car next to me,... I think of your loving family and how much they miss you. I think of your son and what his life will be like without you in it. I know God has reasons for everything, but I have yet to figure out why he took you so soon. There are so many things that you haven't got to do. I feel so guilty that I didn't keep in better touch with you and make a better effort. I know we kind of went our separate ways - each having different goals/interests. I knew though that we would always be friends and share the important steps in our lives. Now I can be comforted to know that you will always know what I'm up to and be here by my side in spirit. I'll be turning 37 in a few weeks - just as you were about to before your passing. It really makes a person think about their mortality and how to value each day as if it were the last. Until next time. Your friend and brother, Shawn. |

| Comments: | Hi Andy!
Was thinking of you today, as I do everyday, but today seemed different for some reason. Reading all these signing's,remembering the good and sad times. I saw Julie and Austin on the 6th of this month, for Austin's birthday party at McDonalds. We all were there,mom,Pat,Craeg,Shaun and Jessica and myself. We had stopped at dad and DiAnn's to pick up their gift for Austin and had heard some helicopters flying low over dads house,we were all joking about maybe that Madison had forgotten to call him about a heart coming in. Then while at Austins party, dad called Pat's cell phone and had said that a potential heart had come in. Thinking that dad was joking because of what we had talked about earlier, Pat didnt take him seriously until dad made it clear that he was serious. Ten minutes down the road, getting ready to go home and get things together for the trip to Madison, antoher phone call comes in from Ellie saying that the heart was no good. What a sad time, a day full of emotion, of every emotion. Just thought I'd drop a line, and Im sure you knew about this but I thought Id share it with the others who come to your website. I miss you Andy! Love your big sister, Paula Marie |

| Comments: | Hi Andy, Well its a little past midnight here and Im still up and on the computer (go figure!!) I have just got done making reservations for David, Myself and Kim to fly home in June to visit. I cant wait to see the family.
I guess I could say the same things as always, that I miss you, that I cry everytime I think about you too long. That Im still so very angry at Everyone involved. Why did you have to die and leave us? WHy oculdnt the Drs save you? I know in my heart and I truly believe when its your time to go, then its time to go. But when it happens to someone so close to you. Its just so hard to trust in Gods decision. Maybe someday we will know why? Well Im done venting for now. I love you Andy! I hope you have a great Easter (((HUGZZ))) Your baby sis, Kelly |

| Comments: | Hello Andy,
I haven't wrote to you in a long time, just thought it was time to tell you that our son is fine. HE is doing really well. We are planning a famliy vacation in June to go to the cabin. You remember all the fun we would have at the cabin? I am sorry that on your last visit there you got two fishing with too many lines in the water tickets. Remember that you got one, one day and if that wasnt bad you went out the next day and got another one. Austin, Joe, and I went fishing yesterday and Austin cought a cropie,sunny,and a bass. He is such a good fisherman. Austin talks about you. HE asks when he can see you again. If he could see you again you would have to clear your next month just to sit a hear all his stories he has to tell you. Your family invited us out to have a family bbq for you but I dont know if we will go? Austin is just starting to get to know your sisters and mom and I dont want to confuse him by taking him to see everyone else. It wouldn't be that bad to take him but everyone that hasnt seen him in a long time they try being too nice and talk about you a lot (not that that is bad ) but they say stuff like, you look just like your dad, your dad didnt want to leave you, your dad would love to see you now. Things like that make him cry and wake up in the middle of the night crying. They just dont understand what I have to deal with after they are gone. They all mean well, but dont think before they speek. He is so young and doesnt understand like we do. He said my dad dont love me anymore after your funeral because someone told him that you didnt want to leave him but had to. That is hard for a 4year old to understand. Well I think I said too much so I will talk to you again soon ok P.S. your son is being well taken care of, and remember we love you and miss you |

It has been a while since Ive written, and today as with everyday, I got to thinking about you. I miss you so much. Im planning to come home to visit this next week. Im bringing Kimmie with me and of course David. Paula, Pat, Craeg, Alison and Ellie, Kimmie and myself are planning a trip to Valleyfair. I remember how much fun we had there as teenagers. I know you will be there with us in spirit, teasing me as always when I get a little queazy from the rides. You were a great big brother. Its coming up on one year since your passing. But it seems like only yesterday. Just doesnt seem possible that a year has passed us by already. Well Im off, I will write again after my visit. I LOVE YOU ANDY. """"""HUGZ"""""" Kelly |

I saw Shaun Nelson on June 5th, it was nice to see him. There were so many plans made and so many plans changed it was hard to get together with everyone, as usual. Julie and Austin stopped by the office a couple weeks ago, I could have fallen off my chair from shock. He is such a sweet boy..Well before I start crying here at work, again I love you forever.

I think you are working overtime up there because our familly has been real close this last year and we are seeing and talking to each other a lot. There seems to be a closeness that has never been there before.
Shaun Nelson was here for the BBQ we had for everyone and it was good to have him here, It reminded me of all the things you two would get into and all the good times in Princeton. You keep a watch on all of us and put a good word in with the big guy for DiAnn, she needs all the help we can get. Love DAD |

| Comments: | The heart hasn't come yet and the thoughts of joining you are stronger. I have lots of pain that only you and I can understand. I hope that thet I get one soon and I can stick around to help DiAnn with all she has going on.
We have had a hard time for the last two years or so but I think it is time for things to get better. DiAnn is feeling good but as you know there is a time limit for her I just wish that god would let me know how long. Tell the big guy that we need his help on this one and also thanks for all of the help in the last year. The fish are not bitting this year so we arn't missing much. I would love to go but it is hard to get out and do the work just to get into the boat and stuff. I went to Millacks one day with Byron and Vivion and never got a bite. I was worn out but had a good time. I miss you a lot still and I try not to think about you all the time but it is always there that I should call Andy or when I need help ,,Oh how I wish you were still here to tell me how you were tired but would still come over to help and see DiAnn. She misses you a lot too, If you could see her now you would cry for her as I do all of the time. I know that god cries for her too and he will take us when the time is good. This is long enough so keep up the good work and enjoy gods love it must be a real treasure. Love Dad & DiAnn (outher mom) |

| Comments: | Dear Andy,
Im sure you know our family has had a exiciting last 48 hours. Our Dad finally got his new heart, its a true blessing for us. I am planning a trip home in September, Dad should be at the VA in Minneapolis by then. I cant wait to see him and the rest of the family. Also, though they may never see this, I extend my deepest sympathy to the family whos love one was lost in order for the transplant to happen. If you see him/her up there, Please thank him/her for us. And to those who are reading this, If your not already, please become a organ donor. It does save lives. So Andy, Thank you for watching over us and as always I miss you everyday. Take care, I LOVE YOU, your baby sis, Kelly |
| Name: | Mom |
| Comments: | These days have been very exciting for the family. Your dad got the "heart" he needed and I swear he must be "hard wired" to God and you, because everything is going so smoothly and he is doing well. I too want to thank the donor family and pray for their loss. Everyone is staying strong and supportive for your dad and DiAnn. It must be God - but I still have a hard time he took you from me and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to accept that. I love you take care of dad and the rest of us, obivoulsy you're doing a great job. I miss you every day... mom |

| Comments: | Hey Andy!
Well as you now know, Dad got his heart, not to sound like a broken record here. Anyways, He is doing very well, the heart came in on the 17th, as Im sure you know. And do please, thank that person who ever he or she is that they gave their heart to our father and whatever else they gave to save some one elses life like you did. I was told that there was about 30 people can be saved or can be used by one donors donation of their body. I think thats amazing. Im hoping that people will see this and decide to be donors or change their minds about how donation works or doesnt work. Im still sad about you being taken away from our family but when I think about what you did so selfishly to save or help others in your donation, I now realize how it helped our father, Im getting better with it every day. And to those of you who read this, pray for everyone, those who are ill, those who died and donated their bodies and those who just need a little help in life. Tell everyone you love, that you love them, hug your children, hug your parents, hug your pets even! Love is precious and life is not a gauranteed thing and remember tomorrow is never a promise, life is too short. Breathe and live life to the fullest everyday! Andy, I love you and miss you terribly, but life does go on as I am finding out. Its amazing! I love you, your big sis, Paula Marie |

Well another holiday season is upon us, and yet another holiday without you. I miss you everyday and wish you were here for us all. Even though we werent as close as we should of been, you were (and still are) a very big part of my life. David turned 14 last Friday, he is getting to be such a young man, its scary. Im still working at the Alzheimers facility, and loving it, its so rewarding to work with the residents. Scott, as always, is working hard, but he too loves his job. I guess you know all this already though. Take care and talk to you soon, your baby sis, Kelly |

| Comments: | Christmas 2004 - it was a day full of surprises and the holiday spirit. We (Paula, Pat and Craeg) and myself we're invited over to Julie's parents house for Christmas Day dinner, I was so suprised to get that invitation from Julie but was thrilled at the thought of seeing Austin during the holiday with his mom and family. It was a very nice dinner, Julie's parents are nice people and very hospitable, we felt very comfortable there. The biggest surprise was Austin asking to come and spend the night with me "grandma Nolan" alone at my house just him and me. It was the nicest gift I could have received, he's not affraid to be alone with me and away from his mother. So he came to my house Christmas night and it was great, he brought the new truck I got him and a few other things. Five years old and we're up until 11:00 talking and looking at pictures of you and other family members. Sunday we go to the movies togther Autin and I see Sponge Bob Square Pants, now that was fun, we had a great time togther and I want to thank you for giving me your son (my grandson) for Christmas. I miss you and talk to your picture everyday. I love you always. Mom |

Sorry I havent written in so long. What mom said in her previous entry is true, Christmas was grand! Being able to see Austin and to see moms face light up when Austin asked if he could come over to "grandma Nolan's" house. As you can see, Im trying to create a website/page for myself about our family and myslef. Not having any luck at it yet, will have to get Kelly's expertise on this one, I guess. Im so very sorry I didn't stop by to see you on Christmas, it just got so late with visiting with Julies parents and getting mom and Austin settled into their new found relationship. It was dark out and Im sure Fort Snelling was closed by that time of day. I promised myself I would never forget you there in Fort Snelling, like someone once said to me, you stop visiting after a while. And I made a rpomise to you and myself that I would never do that. I cant wait for Spring and Summer to come, Im so cold all the time. Well, Im off for now Andy. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU! Your sis, Paula |

| Comments: | Hey Kid,
It has been a long time. It is late Sat night and I must go to bed. DiAnn and I have been making food all day for a mothers day brunch for all of our friends and family. I know that if you were here you would be out rushing about looking for cards for your mom and one for DiAnn? I just can't get over you being gone for ever. My new heart hurts even more then the old one. I was cleaning the garage today and there on the top shelf was your hard hat from your last job. I sat down and had a nice long cry and talk with Jesus and that helps me know that you are OK and getting plenty of food???? The tears come often and I don't understand. I should be better at this then some of us. Please Andy tell me what it is like up there? I need to know. Love forever, DAD |

| Comments: | Andy, Well as I sit here right now, I can not believe it has been 2 years since you left us. It still seems like only yesterday. The pain is still there, and it does not seem to go away. Yes, we go on with our daily lives, working and paying bills, but there is such a big part missing and that is what hurts the most, just plain and simple missing you everyday. I came across another poem to share with you and our family, and today seems to be a good day to do it.
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to loose you you did not go alone for part of us went with you that day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories your love is still our guide and though we can not see you you are always at our side. Our Family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. I love you andy, always and forever. Kelly |

We had a special occasion this past weekend your nephew Shaun was married and Austin was a ring bearer and the cutest thing in town, his whole attitude change when he got into the tuxedo, it was so fun to watch.

I can't believe yet another year has gone by. We had such a nice Christmas,especially since Kelly was home for the Holidays. I stopped by your marker at Fort Snelling to say MERRY CHRISTMAS Andy on Christmas day before going to mom's, it was STILL very hard to think of you not being here to celebrate with us. We had alot of family get together's with lot's of pictures being taken, including Austin, David, Kelly, Alison, Ellie, Mom and myself. Kelly and I even visited MaryBeth too, she took our pictures of us girls together. It was just so very nice to see everyone. Anyways, remember that I willalways love you Andy and will always remember. Love to you! And I hope you're in peace. Paula...AKA BIG Sis |

| Comments: | Well, I am Andys cousin and I have many memories of Andy mostly when I was really young and then when I was in my teen years I never really saw him much but I was fortunate enough to have lived with him for about a year and he would always get mad when my friends would call late at night when he was sleeping oops! He also got me a job at Burger King it was one of my first jobs and after the first day I quit, needless to say he was not very happy with me again oops! But all in all we had fun and I will always remeber him as a person who would help anyone and he always had a smile on his face and an infectious laugh. He will be missed, I love you Andy.

| Comments: | Hi Andy~
I know, it's been a long time. I'm sorry. I have been very busy with my new job and getting ready to go back to college. I start in August, I'm so excited. I try to email Julie and call her, and when I see Austin I send little notes to her and get no response at all. Im not sure what her deal is but maybe some day she will come around. I hope you are at peace there in heaven and yes time does help heal but can never completely heal our wounds from your death. I have been attending church regularly and getting more involved. I know its almost the 4th anniversary of your death and yes I will be there on June 5th to visit, I have taken the whole day off from work to be with you and to be by myself or with family if they are inclined. So for now, I am going, but please remember that I do think of you EVERY day and I always miss you. Just because Im not here often doesn' mean I dont miss you or mourn you, I am busy and life does go on after death. It may not be always a happy life but we have to keep on until God decides to take us away from here. Love your big sis, Paula Marie |

| Comments: | Dearest Andy,
It seems so hard to believe that today marks the 4 year anniversary of your passing. Most of the time it seems like it was only yesterday. And yet it has been so long. Dont ever think that I dont think about you, because I do, on a daily basis. You are so sorely miss in our family, your smile and your laughter, you always knew how to cheer me up when things were wrong. I love you Andy, so much. Your baby sis |

I thought alot about you this week and I'm amazed that time passes so quickly. My baby with the bluest eyes and brown hair, I miss you deeply and every minute. love mom. |
