NOPE Task Force – Narcotics Overdose Prevention & Education

Hello there bro! Haven't been on here in awhile. I've been so sad lately ever since losing another child in a miscarriage. I wanted to name the baby after you. And now that I lost it. I feel like I let you down in a way... So I am going to keep trying so your name will live on and on. I miss you so much. I hear, feel, and see things that are you to know in my own way I will never forget you! I love you Spud...

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:16-17
– From Mike & Linda Higgins on January 27, 2013

I didn't get to know you but I knew your family. No one knows why you were taken from us so young. I once walked in your shoes. In fact my best friend and best man went before you. If your story saves at least one, God will be blessed.

It has been a year since I last saw your face, I am going to say a final farewell and spread some of your ashes at the Pal field Sunday. I don't want to let you go but I know in my heart you will always be with me. Every time I see a rainbow of hear that cardinal chirping in my back yard I know it is you saying hello and letting me know you are ok. Gosh I miss you so much. I am going to let you go so you can take that final journey home and anxiously await the day when we meet again. Leave the light on for me Spuddy, I will see you again.

Can't believe that you have been gone almost a year. I still remember the first time I met you. We had a really fun night that night and many more. We always had good talks. I am glad you called me and we were able to talk before you left us. I do feel for your family even though things weren't always so pleasant and we never met. I can't even imagine if that were me going through this. You would be so proud even though I know you already know. Almost two years sober and doing great. We love you Andrew..and you are missed.

– From Mom on July 10, 2011

Andrew. there is so many thing that are left unsaid. I wish i could tell you. You were my "spudsickle" and i was your "bestee". I just wish i could of told you i loved you more. You have became my best friend. You will NEVER be forgotten. You have made an ever lasting impression on my heart. You will always be with me. I will keep your family in my prayers. I know you are looking down on us. I miss you. I love you. You have helped me through so much been there for me when my times got rough. I just wish I had the chance to be there for you. You have been my strength, my hope but mainly you are my best friend. Thank you for blessing my life by being that friend; my best friend. I will always cherish our memories. but one day we WILL meet again my friend one day. until then you will always be my beautiful angel. my beautiful angel with wings. I love you spudsickle. You will always be remembered, loved, and missed. I will carry you with me always.I love you Andrew you are truely missed. Nina I wish I was able to come see you more often I dont have a car so its hard but I miss seeing you and John I feel Drews presence everytime I see you. I still think of him everyday. I miss him so much. I am so sorry Nina. WHILE YOUR GONE while your gone i'll still hear our song, pretty in tune maybe 3 minutes long. you'll be the purple seashell that i find on the beach, the soft star in the night that i just can't reach. while your gone i'll still hear you call, you'll be that Tiger Woods picture on the wall. you'll be that cold bottle of water when i need a drink bad, you'll be what makes me smile when this world makes me sad. you'll be that light in the night when theres no light in sight, the hot chill down my spine on a cool september night. while your gone i'll still feel your touch and no one ever told me i could love you this much. you'll be that glow in my eye, gorgeous mid-nite sky, you'll be the answer in my heart when i ask God why. You'll be that sunset i see when i stop for a look or that little distraction when i am reading a book. while your gone you'll never be forgotten i'll see you in all those things. but Spud you'll always be my Angel, my beautiful Angel with wings. I love you.

I pray to God to guide me and help me to help your brother. I love and miss you very much.

When you knew me my last name was different. We hung out a lot during football/cheer leading and I will never forget those times, we dated for about a week and you were so sweet. I remember while we were dating, during one of your football games you got hit pretty hard and couldn't get up for a minute. It was sad for me to see you laying there, injured. All the cheer leaders came to me and knelt down with me, as the football players did with you. I remember being so happy to see you get up. I am not sure why things didnt work out between us. You were really sweet, but I was also very young. I am sorry to hear this happened and you and your family will be in my prayers. You will always hold a sliver of my heart, Spud. I know you are now shining down over your family protecting them. God Bless the Hart family. -Amanda W
– From Amanda Wickard on April 27, 2011

your friend Angel wrote that poem you asked for me, it beautiful...Way up high where Moms come from..some sons get lost but my Mom won...you should have seen how she smile at my fottball games, her love would have put most Moms to shame.. She saw in me what no one else could and protected me like a great Mom would. And even on days when I wanted to hide, my mom knew who I was inside... but hearts can heal when hearts are torn..like tears of joy when I was born...Don't cry no more Mom, I'm ok.. I walk beside you every day. You stood beside me all those years, now its my time to dry your tears. Please Mom smile like you did on the day I turned 10, Our day will come to hug again....John "Angel" Roney
