On behalf of Andrew and all of our family I would like to thank all of those who helped us over the past 3 years. I am hesitant to even start to list everyone, for fear that I might forget someone, but I will list a few. My apologies if I don't specifically remember to list all. To all of the family and friends who supported us through prayers, visits, and watching Andrew. To those doctors and nurses who helped with treatments. To those who delivered meals when we were unable to cook for ourselves. To those who sent money, flowers, plants, and gift cards. To those who helped with physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological therapy. To those who cared for Andrew's basic needs and functions. To those who helped with transportation and day-to-day care. And to those who were able to bring the sacraments and prayers to Andrew.

Thank you!

You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I really don't know how we could have done it without all of you!

Several people asked for a prayer card from Andrew's funeral Mass. The enclosed picture of Andrew was taken when he was 52, less than 4 years before he died.

Finally, I wanted to share a picture of one of his last outings - during Matthew's high school graduation in late May.  Andrew lived every day to the fullest up to the very end! 

Love and Prayers,

The Bare Family
