Dear Lily and Family, I'm so sorry to read of Andy's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with Andy; he had such a wonderful sense of humour and quick wit. I will always remember his patience in teaching me Dutch - one new word each week was all I could handle! May your wonderful memories bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Vaarwel mijn vriend, Holly Jordan
