On June 27, 1989 a special little boy came into our life. His older brother Josh named him Andrew Albert DeClue. He had black hair, blue eyes that turned into a greenish blue when he smiles. He grew into a wonderful person during school years. All his teachers loved his because he was so funny. He was very intelligent. He got mad at his mom and dad for not letting him pass a grade because he was gifted. Later in life he grew up he told me repeatedly that is was our fault he didn’t graduate high school. As he grew his brother Josh and sister Jodi made him an uncle to eight wonderful nephews who loved their uncle Andy and he loved them so much. Andy had a smile that could melt your heart. He had so many friends who loved him he was very popular once Andy made you his friend it was for life. Andy enjoyed being with his family he loved to camp, fish and bbq at his second brother Eric’s. Andy lived with me (MOM) every night when I got home he would always cook for me and every night he would tell me “Night Poop I love you”!! I will forever miss my baby. He loved going to uncle Rick’s to go mudding. He loved his sister so much even though he would start arguments with her. He also loved Amanda his second siser. His true best friend was his brother Josh he loved him, but mostly he admired and looked up to his brother and thought he was the best father in the world. He loved his mama DeClue and waited for every Christmas because he knew she would buy him cranny berry juice. He also told me how much he loved his aunt Sis and uncle Hoppy, uncle Wes, aunt Trish, uncle Butch, aunt Sheila and aunt Debbie. Rick and Carol were cousins but he felt like they were his aunt and uncle and loved them very much and all of his cousins. His dad and I feel that we got cheated by him being taken away from us so soon. I’m going to close this with a message for Andy. “Night Poop I Love You”!!!!!!
