Holly JordanDear 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
