Hi Andre I hope you can get better very soon so you can come to school . I hope you know that your in my prayers and a lot of other peoples to. Keep smiling and I hope I see you soon

Andre - I am so happy to see you smile! Though I didn't see the actual accident happen, I was the first car eastbound on the scene, and after another man ripped the door off your car, I helped your dad carry you to the curb. Not knowing what else to do, I took off my shirt and held it against your face and comforted your Dad until the first paramedic arrived, urging you to hold on. I cried all the way home that night, and for several nights after, not knowing who you were or how you were. I have 3 small children of my own so I know that you will heal quickly. There isn't a day that goes by that I am not thinking about you, and I wish you a full recovery.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. We're sure that with all the prayers for Andre and the help he is being given the good Lord will bring him back to good health. Keep your faith and courage during this trying time. Love to Andre & all the Family.
