I send my love and blessings to your whole family. May god bless your
wonderful hearts at keeping his memory alive. I truly believe that if we
remember those we have lost they truly never leave our presence. Memories
and stories are the most preciouse things we have along with laughter.
This is the greatest cure for a broken heart. It sounds as though he had
one of the most loving families in the world & For the little time he was
here he got to absorb so much love. That is something to be proud of and to
hold on to forever.
May god bless you with vivid memories of the preciouse Angel he has
borrowed.

My Dear Little Angel, Andrew... Today is Day 982... that many days since
I held you on my lap, kissed your soft cheek, and whispered "I Love you in
your ear"....I am wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.
Nine (9) days ago, Tues. Dec. 19, 2000, Day 973 since you left, your Sweet
Mama gave birth to yet another Baby Brother for you, Andrew. His Name is
Nicholas Marion Alexander Certuche. Born at 7:07 pm, weighing 7 lbs. 5
oz. and 20 inches long. That makes 4 brothers for you my Love. WOW! Five
boys for your Mama and Daddy. Nicholas is probably the last one because
of some health problems your Mama has had. Nicholas is beautiful and
healthy and perfect. He looks alot like Samuel....especially when he was
first born. Christopher (20 Months old) loves him and touches and kisses
him alot. Samuel has always called Christopher "Baby" and still does. But
he calls Nicholas "Nic-us". Samuel is doing better with his speech, but
is still a little behind his age group. But his vocabulary has increased
alot in the last 3 months. We all try to help him pronounce words
clearly. As you already know, your Mama and Daddy and all your brothers
are doing very well, and we all had a wonderful Chistmas. We especially
think about you, Baby, at Christmas time, Missing you most of all. You,
Baby Andrew, are our Guardian Angel In Heaven. We Love and Miss You So.
Good Bye til next time. Always and Forever My Love For You
Grows... Gramma

My Dear Sweet Andrew....Yesterday, Tuesday July 26, 2000, was your 4th
Birthday. Happy Birthday Baby. Your Mama and Mario and Samuel and
Christopher came over yesterday on my lunch break, and Samuel sat on my
lap while we came to this cemetery to visit you. Little Samuel, who is 2
1/2 yrs. old now, pointed at your picture and said, "Andrew, me..." He
thinks he's Andrew...he thinks he's you. It's a very hard concept for a 2
yr. old to comprehend.....not ever seeing you, but always talking about
you. He only knows you by pictures, so in a way, to him you are a little
different than his other brothers, Mario and Christopher. But I told him
that you are his brother just like them, and that you are in Heaven with
Jesus.... He will understand as he gets older. We all love you so much,
and miss you everyday. We put a Memorial in yesterday's newspaper for
your birthday. It was the beautiful poem that your Aunt Nancy wrote and
read at your Memorial Service. Your Mama's due date for the new baby you
sent us is December 22, 2000. It will be a Christmas baby. And as usual,
she doesn't want to find out if it's a boy or a girl until it is born.
After 4 boys, do you think it just might be a girl this time??? Right now
you and Jesus are the only ones that know! And so, Sweet Baby, I leave
these Flowers along with my Heart for you, and continue to Thank God for
the Miracle He Sent us when He Sent You.....All My Love For a Million
Eternities....Gramma

My Sweet Baby Andrew,
Today is the 2 year Anniversary of your death. We all miss you and love
you so very much. I submitted a Memorial with your picture to the
newspaper. Grampa and I did a beautiful one on the computer. Your Mama
will send copies to all your relatives.
Today is Good Friday....the day we remember Jesus' death on the Cross.
What a Wonderful Day to share the anniversary of your death with the
Savior, Jesus Christ. In Him, we have the Wonderful Hope of Eternal Life
in Heaven...Of One Day Being With Jesus and with You, My Love! What cause
for Celebration.
Your Mama found two rolls of film while she was cleaning last week. She
got them developed.....and the film was 2 years old.....they were haunting
pictures of you, Andrew....I got copies made and had them enlarged. Most
of them were taken 14 days before you died, on your Grampa's birthday,
April 7th. I told your Mama that the pictures are like a Sweet Gift You
and the Angels sent us so close to your two year Anniversary, April 21,
2000. There are a couple of pictures of your Sweet Daddy pushing you in a
swing at the park. You weren't too happy because it was your first and
only ride on a swing....I love you, Andrew....I miss you so much.
Samuel is 2 1/2 yrs. old now and he is starting to talk more and more. He
looks at your picture and can say your name as clear as I can. He loves
you Andrew and misses you too. Christopher started walking about a week
ago....he waddles like a duck....he will be 1 yr. old next week, April 29,
2000. I think Christopher will be talking early, he makes sound like
words already....he likes to "talk". Only you know what your little
brother is saying!
I made your Mama and Daddy a blue and white baby blanket with a white
satin label on it that says, "In Memory of Andrew D. Certuche". I gave it
to them today....I made your Daddy a nice picture of Samuel surrounded
with pictures of you and him together.....April 21 is special for us. We
think about you and take time to especially remember you.
Mario is going to Junior High next year....He misses you too
Andrew.....he's a Special Big Brother to Samuel and Christopher....I think
he's their self appointed protector.....He loves them a lot too....
I crocheted 9 Crib Blankets with your Name Label on them "In Memory of
Andrew D. Certuche" and they left Wed. April 12, 2000 for Romania with a
team from our church. They will be given to Pastor Ben, who our people
are helping to build a little Village Church in Romania. He will give
them to families who have a Baptism in their family. Your Blankets, made
with Love and sent to Romania to Honor Your Short, but Very Meaningful
Little Life and Death, are clear over on the other side of the world
keeping some little children warm....I Have Shared You With The World,
Andrew....You Will Never Be Forgotten.....You Will Always, Somehow be
Remembered.....The World is a Better Place Because You Were Here
Andrew.....I Will Always Love You..... Sing Me A Song Tonite, Andrew....I
Long To Hear Your Sweet Voice Again....
All My Love For A Million Lifetimes.....
Gramma
And so, Sweet Baby, I leave you all these Beautiful, Colorful Flowers
today....

My Angel Baby Andrew... Today is Thursday, October 21, 1999, it's been
exactly a year-and-a-half today since we lost your Beautiful Little Face
from this earth... Today is Day 548 since I last got to hold your pudgy
little body in my arms... 548 Days since I Kissed Your Sweet Cheek Good
Bye For The Last Time... I've been thinking about you especially all
week... I miss you, my Sweet "Papas"... My love grows for you more and
more each day. I am missing you, Little Andrew... It was your little
Brother Samuel's 2nd Birthday the day before yesterday, Tuesday, October
19, 1999. He's bright and beautiful. We're all so thankful that you
sent us your Beautiful Little Gift From Heaven... Another
Angel... Christopher Nathaniel... who will be 6 months old the 29th of
Oct. He's the age Samuel was when you died... Samuel and Christopher
play together and laugh together all the time. Christopher is gentle and
mellow and always happy. Our Little Samuel is our Little Entertainer.
He walks around with Mario's big shoes on... or puts a hat on and walks
around making all of us laugh. He's so full of Life... Your Tender Little
Spirit Lives on in Samuel... He is our link to you always... I will
always Love You, My Angel... and Miss You So... and so until we are
running down hills together and laughing together in the Sunshine of
Heaven... I Give You All My Love For All Eternity... Gramma :)

I would like to leave flowers for the little one! Being myself a mom, my
heart goes out to you...
then granny's ones, that made me cry so sadly. May little Andrew be guarded by Angels. He knows you loved him so
much.
Best regards

My Angel Andrew... Today is Wednesday, Sept. 22, 1999... and I am
missing you so much today, Baby. The other day I was feeling that old
feeling... impatience and grumpiness... and I knew what I needed to
do... It always happens, everytime I need a good "Andrew Cry". My
thoughts kept returning to you no matter what I was doing. But I kept
putting it off, because I knew if I faced it, I would have to do the
difficult and painful task of "grief work".... Sometimes I just want to
run away from it. But I know that it must be done as part of the healing
process....
I pulled out some of your clothes and your little shoes, and the cup you
were just starting to drink from (the one with your little teeth marks all
over it)... and I spent much needed time with you Andrew... it was a
soul-cleansing... I felt "refreshed" afterward... And so I cried... I
love you more with each passing day. I have been counting the days since
you died... Today is Day 519. I love you Baby... Give Jesus a Big Hug for
me and for your Mama & Daddy and Mario, Samuel and Christopher... All My
Love For a Million Lifetimes... Gramma :)
25 August, 1999
My Dear Angel Andrew... I am missing you today Baby... Your Little
Brother, Samuel, will be 22 months old this Sunday. When he comes over to
our house, Andrew... Little Samuel pulls out the Little yellow Duckie
Rocker that was yours, and he sits on it and rocks... He's getting a
little big for it though. You rode on it when you were about 17-18 months
old. I keep it in my bedroom. It helps me to feel close to you... Baby
Brother, Christopher, is getting b-i-g. He's beautiful, just like you
Baby. Big Brother, Mario, starts school in a couple of weeks... 6th grade
this year... He Loves You Lots, Baby... Mama & Daddy miss you everyday.
I give you all My Hugs and Kisses... Forever and Always I will Love
You... Gramma :)
