Well, Andy was a part of our family for 7 short years. But Andy was the kind of person that made such an impression on you that it seemed like he had always been there. Our family took an immediate liking to Andy. He fit right in. We heard a lot of stories, shared a lot of laughs, learned a lot about his life and what kind of person he was in those years. I know we as well as everyone Andy touched are going to miss him greatly. My mom and I saw Andy for the last time Thanksgiving when we went to visit him and Rosalind. I'm so glad we had that time to visit with him and enjoy one more story. We sure did have a good time those two days we spent there. The time sure does pass quickly, it seems like only yesterday that we first met him. I'm so glad I knew him and I know that our family is better for having Andy a part of us for those years. I'm also glad about how happy he made Rosalind. Yes, we will miss Andy but we have enough stories, and memories to reflect on to last a life time. I am proud to call Andy Moreau, my brother in law. God Bless

I don't think we will ever know how lucky we were to have Andy in our lives. He made my Mom the happiest I had ever seen her. The 7 years you two were together where the best, you were meant to be there for each other for a reason, I believe that. On Father's day, I sent Andy a card and asked if I could call him Dad instead of step-dad, he said he would be greatly honored. He meant more to me that he will ever know. He always told me how proud he was of me, and I felt his love every time he said it. I know Andy loved me, and every one around him. He was a man of integrity and strength. I don't think words can express how much I am going to miss him. Andy, thank you for being there for me, when, at times, my own Father wasn't. Thank you, most of all for taking my Mom, and showing her the love and respect that she deserved. She was blessed to have you in her life, even for a short time, and she will cherish that time always. I can't wait to see you again Andy, and I know you are looking over us even now, you, Andy, are my hero, and always will be.

I love you Andy Moreau
your son

When Andy Moreau came into my mother's life I finally saw a genuine smile and a sparkle in her eyes I hadn't seen before. She'd finally found the happiness I'd secretly hoped she'd someday find. Thank you Andy Moreau for bringing happiness to my mother's life. You will be missed by many.
