We met at a free church dinner in Waukegan, Illinois. It was a Sunday afternoon back in October of 1989, and I met him and we became fast friends. After a couple of months, I broke off my engagement to the guy I was seeing, and started dating Andrew. After that, I waited a year after dating him, and married him. I then was enjoying the experience of being married for the first and only time in my life. We stayed married for 32 years, and together for 33 years. I'm glad that I met and married him because I would marry him again if given the chance. There's NOBODY alive that could EVER hold a candle to MY Andrew. I'm still in love with him today. He truly was a good man! Sweeter than the sweetest thing in the world.

I learned how to do many things I didn't know before. He taught me how to make my love for him stronger, and he taught me some things about God, and he taught me how to save my money instead of spending it, and he taught me that going online to shop is a bad thing because online is so expensive. He also taught me how to make it in this world without losing my mind, and he taught me how to get along with other folks. He taught me so much that it would take me the rest of my life to put into words how much he showed me. He always could do algebra in his head. Everything he showed me was a gift from God. He was the best gift from God, and I still love him. He also showed me so much love. I will NEVER forget him, or his love.
Andrew loved to ride bikes, eat pizza 🍕, and read The Bible. He enjoyed spending time with me. We both enjoyed being together as a couple, and we did everything together. Andrew enjoyed his family, and video games, and just wanted to be loved to which he was so loved by me, and so wanted and needed. I tried to show him just how much he was loved, wanted, and needed. He loved nature, and he made friends with the birds, and they would eat things right from his hands because he was so gentle and he made me smile and see the beauty in things of nature. He enjoyed watching the stars with me at night, and he loved to drive a car. He enjoyed everything that we could do on Earth. It was amazing to learn so many things from him, and be able to experience it with him. Life was brighter with him in my life. Andrew was a wonderful person and husband. He shared lots of life with me, and he loved to share snacks and watch movies with me. We ended up finding an app that we could get free movies on and we watched Steven King movies on it, and had popcorn 🍿 together. He enjoyed many different things and he loved going to work and making money so we could do different things. My life was so enjoyable with Andrew. He was the best of everything to me.

He was the sweetest man I ever ever encountered and he was different than others because of that sweet, loving quality that he shared with me. He also treated me like a queen 👑. He always put sparkles in my eyes when he would walk into the room and smiled at me. It was always fun to see him come back after work, and show me his stuff that he bought after he cashed his check from work. I always wanted him to be happy 😊, and his happiness was worth all the gold in the world 🌍.

Seeing all the places we used to go to will always remind me of Andrew. Also, I am reminded of him every day because I still feel his love surrounding me wherever I go. I'm also reminded of Andrew because I am staying with his family, and his brother Jeremy looks just like him. Everything around me reminds me of Andrew. I miss him so much, and I wish he was alive right now. When I feel Andrew's love around me, it's just like a really nice warm feeling. It's just like he is haunting me with lots of love. He was so wonderful and romantic and faithful to me.
I first met Andrew when he was in line in front of me at a Sunday Church meal. We started chatting with each other in line. After the first meeting, he disappeared, and I thought I would never see him again. I found him again, and I followed him around like a lost puppy dog. He was amazing to me. I knew that I really liked him and loved him the moment that he helped me navigate through the ice and snow on my way to church. Since then my mind was always on him. He wanted to leave town, but he ended up finding an angel in me, and I wanted to be with him. I married him a year later, and I kept him as my own for the rest of his life. I will NEVER forget him. I still love him dearly!

Andrew did many acts of kindness. He was always willing to feed another person especially if they are hungry and need food. Also, he shared everything he had with the less fortunate. He also treated people as the way that he would want to be treated. He was a very kind human being, and I always saw the VERY best in him. He was also a humble man who shared whatever he had with others.

I learned how to be a better person because Andrew showed me the way. Andrew showed me what kindness was and could be. He was the kindest, sweetest, dearest, most love-worthy man that ever brightened up my life, and I would live my life with him all over again. I also learned more about God from him. We prayed every evening before we ate dinner, and we talked about God a lot. We also did things together, & I learned about The Earth, and I learned about plants, and animals that he knew. I also learned how to pack a suitcase because I would always just throw things together without sorting things out. Also, I learned how to make sure that I can get us home when I have to, and I learned about survival from him. I also learned about how people used to cook their food in ancient tribal times, and I learned about things by watching MSNBC and CNN. He taught me about animals, and accountability, and I learned how to be a good wife because I watched him be a good husband. I actually pride myself in knowing Andrew and what he was about. The way that I see it, I thank God for allowing me to be married to Andrew. His story makes a person want to be as caring and loving as he was because you couldn't get a more loving, God fearing person as Andrew.
In response to "What did you learn from Andrew?"
Andrew chose to live better than other people at times. The fact remains that Andrew lived a life of God and really tried to mimic and live the way of Jesus Christ, and was really an honest and Godly man. He made me feel so good about him because he was loyal, faithful, and loved me more than anyone could ever love me. He made me feel like there was some good in me even when I didn't feel it. He could always make me laugh when we wanted to get silly together, and when he was serious about things, he had me listening to whatever he said to me, and I tried to understand him. He stood out more because he had so many redeeming qualities, and treated everyone with respect. If he did anything wrong, you wouldn't have to confront him. He came to you and would admit the truth. He fought for what was right, and he fought for the people done wrong. He was a really good person, and was the most trustworthy man that I really have ever known. He made conversations with people, and would have deep and meaningful conversations with the people he cared about. He stood out in a crowd as loyal, faithful, extremely handsome, worthy of love, and patient, and so loving. His love made a person feel really warm inside, and he didn't trust many people because he has been hurt by so many people. If you stepped out of line, he let you know it. Also, when he trusts you, he's all in. If you break his trust, it's not easy to get it back. Also, when he loves a person, he would put his WHOLE heart into it, and he is really slow to anger, but when he gets angry, it's always for a reason, and you better be ready to apologize if you anger him. I would say that if he was alive right now, he would get me back in a New York Minute.

The main thing that always reminds me of Andrew is when people are giving and loving to one another. When people treat each other with love is when I am reminded of Andrew. If I see people treating others like human waste, will NEVER remind me of Andrew. He was of the mindset of treat others the way that you want to be treated. His mother doesn't even get it. She's not like Andrew.
