18 Jun 2002 "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is never to have died." (Thomas Campbell, circa 1888) A memorial initiated by his brother-in-law, Eliseo Lujan asa05d40@yahoo.com

27 Jun 2003 Andy, you were the first love of my life, although I loved you from a distance. I didn't get my first date with you until 3 years after I first "saw" you in school. I'll always remember you as a prankster in class. It bothered me that you'd get into trouble with the teachers because of some joke you pulled on them. But you only got a kick out of it when they scolded/punished you - you'd only laugh! (Somehow, I thought that was cute about you!) I especially loved your enticing green eyes and when I finally got the chance to go out with you, it was heaven. Even though we dated only a short time before you went to Vietnam, wonderful memories of that time spent with you have remained in my heart for over 35 years. I'm married now, but a day never goes by when something doesn't remind me of you. You are always in my prayers and you'll always remain in the deepest most secret corner of my heart. From a good friend. slu4477@aol.com
