We Miss You...  / Yeshi Woldegeorgise (Friend)
OoOo Andy,

   They say time heals all wounds, not true at all...it's amazing how much we all Miss You. I can honestly say there is not a day that goes by when your name is not brought up. Words can't express my gratitude for growing up with you in high shcool. I miss the games, the phone calls, the friday nights, and  most of all, YOU! 

   I thought I was going to be able to get on here and say soo much more but its harder than I expected, its good to know there's somewhere to come and reminsce on our friendship.

I LOVE  & MISS YOU ANDY ANDERSON

To a real Hero  / Gisela Vazquez (Aunt)
My Dear Andy, 

Everyday there’s something that reminds me of you, and a lot of the time I just pretend that nothing has happened to you. I picture you, Rick, Rafy, Randy, little Tony, Big Tony, and Putin playing, Nintendo or just wrestling like you guys used to do….. Andy we really miss you, and there’s so much we want to tell you about how we feel that it will take us a life time to write it. So I just will say this to you, with tears in my eyes, and with all the love my heart can give, “ANDY, NO TIME, NO PLACE, NO DISTANCE, NO CIRCUMSTANCE, NO REASON AT ALL, WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE IN MY HEART. I WILL ALWAYS, ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND HONOR YOU…… YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN. Soon we’ll be reunited…. and I’m looking forward to seeing that beautiful smile of yours…. 

LOVE YOU ETERNALLY, Tia Chely

A Very Special Nephew  / Anette Ortiz (Aunt)
Andy, you were so full of life, always smiling and carefree, life loved you being a part of it,and we all loved you being a part of us. You could make anyone laugh, even if they were having a bad day, or how sad they were you could take the hurt away. Nothing could ever stop you, or even make you fall, you were ready to take on the world, ready to do it all. But God decided he needed you, and from this world you left, but you took a piece of all of us, our hearts are what you kept. Our lives are now empty, and it's hard not to see your face, but please always know this, no one will ever take your place. You left without a warning, not even saying good-bye, and I can't seem to stop, asking the question why? Nothing will ever be the same, our hearts are empty without your laughter, but I know you're in Heaven, watching over us and looking after. I didn't see this coming, it hit me by surprise, and when you left this world, A small part of me died. Your smile could brighten anyone's day, no matter what they were going through, and I know everyday for the rest of my life, I'll be missing you. Andy, my dear nephew...you will always be missed! With much LOVE, Tia Anette XOXOX Close

BELOVED SON  / Xiomara Mena (Andy's MOM )
Beloved SON
I sit and hold your picture
As you looked so long ago.
I wonder, how would you look
Were you here with me today.
God had you in His plans that day
You were lifted from my arms.
But still, as days go passing by,
My eyes keep searching, everywhere.

My heart is still as broken
As it was that other day, and,
Though the years have passd and gone
I'll love you, each and every day.

And if the Lord gave me one wish
I wouldn't think, not for a second.
I'd ask to see your face, my son,
For just a single, fleeting minute.

You're locked up deep within my soul,
And etched into my heart.
And when the time is right, my son,
I'll once more fold you into my arms..........

Someday..........
Love you MOM

So unfare  / Anamaria Comsa (visitor)
I am really sorry for your loss. Life is so unfare, a lot of young people die. I just lost my boyfriend, he was only 23 (george-dumitru.memory.of), so I can understand the pain inside. Just pray for him, he is with God now and he's watching over you. May God rest his soul in peace! Close

We miss him so much  / Toccara Ragland-Skye (long-time friend )
I guess I'll address this to Andy.  I miss you.  It's amazing how we used to pick on each other when we were little.  Our families have known each other for a long time and I am thankful for every memory of you I have.  I'm sad there won't be anymore, but anyone who knew you feels the same.  We miss you a lot.  I didn't even get to see you that much, but we always were happy to see an old friend when we'd cross paths.  I feel for you fiance'.  It has to be a terrible feeling to lose a great man like you.  Girl, if you're reading this...I am so sorry for your loss.  I am so glad that I got to go to your memorial and pay tribute to my fallen friend.  Thank you so much Andy, for everything you have done for me...from defending my freedom and laying your life down for me and all Americans....to just being my friend and touching mine and so many others' lives.  You'll never be forgotten.  My love and prayers to Rafie, Randy, and your mom and dad and to the rest of your family and friends!  God Bless.

So Deeply Sorry for Your Loss  / Melissa Eiler (Visitor~Daughter of Irwin & Renee Eiler )

I was passing through and came across Andy's site here, and to say the least it touched my heart and I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. I'm so very sorry for your loss. He is a brave, strong man that served our country. So many people do not realize the sacrifices others have made for this country & I wanted to take a moment to pay my respects to you and yours.

May God forever Bless Andy, and your lovely family as the pictures are proof of that forever bond, tie/connection you will always have. Again my sincere condolences,
Melissa Eiler

Thank you Andy!  / Pety Lopez (Good Friends )
Andy what can I say but that I miss u.. so much buddy.. I lit a candle for u but it only allows so much text and I heard this poem it makes me think of you so much. so I will share it.. its by EE. Cummings. 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
not fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I always carry all your advice, all your love that was shown to me always with me. And I'm truly blessed to ever have a friend like u in my life. I love you RIP Andy Close

HONORING A HERO  / Tom Gugliuzza-Smith (Brother in Christ )
Andy you are truly a hero. . I met your family and see them often and I can see how very special you are. I continue to visit/honor/cry and spend time with your earthly body at ANC. My heart is saddened for your loss, but I rejoice in knowing you are with our dear savior. My prayer to your family is; May they find peace in knowing the love and memories they have of you for that/you will remain in their hearts forever. I look forward to that special day when we will meet. Until then know that you and your special family will NEVER be forgotten.

46th Eng Bn miss you  / W. Machado (My best friend )
What up “Big A”,

Man, I miss you a lot!!! There is not a day that goes by that I’m not thinking of you. My mother always told me as a child that in life one will have many associates, but a very few friends. You were my true friend Andy, that’s real, and because of that I will never forget you. I would do anything to see you face-to-face right now and wish you a Happy Birthday with much love, and give you a fresh hat and a t-shirt for your B-day. You know you always stayed fresh. LOL. I thank you for showing up very vividly in my dreams one night when times were real hard. You nodded your head with the smile you always had, and let me know that everything was all right. I know you’re in heaven, in the eternal glory celebrating your B-Day with the LORD. Tell “SWEET P.” (Carlos Pernel) that I said wasup, and that I miss him to. Till the next time Andy, I love you man!!!!

To Mr. Harold, Mrs. Xiomara, Randy and Rafy you all stay in my heart and in my prayers. I love Close
