My cousin Andrews was so full of life he loved to talk he was very intelligent, he knew what he wanted in life, he was funny, he stood up for what he believed and what and who he loved. You are truly missed. I have so many memories of him.. We shared so many laughs and shed tears together. But my favorite moment has to be a couple years ago when I was sooo mad at a certain someone and was on the verge of doing something so stupid, and then my cousin Andrew comes snatches me up drives me to the beach to cool off and he totally made me for get I was even mad at all.. Or how he'd come over my house and say what's up cuzzo? What are you cooking? He loved to be in the kitchen 💜 Rest easy primo 💜 love you 😍 *Gone but Never forgotten 💜
