RIP Andrew Jones.
Tonight, I raise my glass in a toast to you,
to your smile, your laughter, your priceless
personality that made us love you.
to your friendship, your fatherhood, your brotherhood
and the grownup the kids looked up to.
to your compassion, your affection, your achievements
and even your imperfections that challenged you
to your life experiences, your choices, your mistakes and your
self improvements that made us respect you
to the loyalty to your friends, your dedication to your children
your unconditional love for immediate and extended family that was so true.
Tonight we toast in your honor, to your memory and to your life
and to being proud and grateful that you were a part of ours in moments of joy,
despair, triumph and even strife.
and so I sign my name to this memorial toast
because I love you "Drew" and I vow to hold your memory dear.
Auntie Char
