As the NFL preseason is upon us, I can’t help but think back to two years ago when Andrew surprised me with tickets to an Eagles preseason game. Many of you have heard this before, but on the way back from the (NJ) shore, I apparently mentioned to him how much I would like to catch a game. Andrew, working with his Mom, scouted out tickets online and decided to virtually wipe out his bank account to take me, Ali, and Chris to a game. I was blown away by his thougthfulness and generosity! We had a great time at the game. (P.S. His bank account was left virtually intact; the thought was so much more than the money.) I’ll never forget that. My family has blessed me with some great memories!!!
God bless you all as you make the most of each day that you are given.
Live Like Andrew - think of others!

So proud to be,
Ali’s & Andrew’s Dad
