My deepest sympathy to the family and I pray that you find strength in the Lord to guide you through your sorrow and loss. I have always admired what a close and loving family you are and remember driving by Andy and Pat's house and seeing the yard filled with cars and people....always having a great time together. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rick Bassett
