They say "you can pick your friends but not your family" but as far as our family is concerned I find we may go awhile and not be able to see each other, but one thing we can do is pick right up again from where we left off like long lost friends. Thats how it was with my counsin Andy. I always appreciated his smile and soft demeanor with his ability to enjoy what came his way, even it it wasn't how he planned. I remember thinking, 'man, I wish we lived closer to each other , he's such a fun guy, for a cousin!' My last memory was meeting Andy and Mary with a couple of kids in tow, as we grabbed a bite to eat. My once young counsin was now an older very happily married father who was proudly doting over his own children. I am glad to know that Andy enjoyed his life and and glad we are family, with all our wit and charm! Laughter usually followed us whenever we had the chance to be together, and for that I'm grateful"o)
Mary please know we love you and your always going to be special to our family. I look forward to coming home and being able to see again one day, how each of your children will look like Andy or do something funny like Andy would have done.
Uncle Dave and Aunt Sally I am with you in my heart and look forward to sharing hugs and seeing you this summer. WIllie is always helping to do so many things in my place, so I hope you'll find some comfort through him and dad.
Much Luv from Lisa Marie Seith Kerr, AKA 1st grandchild"o)
