And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. My sincere condolences to the Cerchio family on the loss of your dear loved one. May these words of Revelation 21:4 give you a measure of comfort and strength to endure during this time of grief and deep sorrow.

I only knew Andrew through my kids ( James & Brooke Zwiebel). I will be forever grateful for the love, support and joy he gave to them. He helped in healing the home sickness they felt while separated from family. I loved hearing the stories ( when I would call to check on them) of his love for the Rubik's cube, gaming all night, the laughter he brought and the excitement he brought to my daughter when she was able to bake a Rubik's Cake for him for his birthday.Memories, we will all cherish forever! I have made a donation in Andrew's honor to Puppies Behind bars. I wish I could do more to ease your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you and comfort you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I did not know Andrew personally, his Aunt Debbi was my friend and co-worker at Beacon and at Mayfield. My heart aches for your entire family for having to endure two tragic losses back to back like this. Thank you Andrew for your service to our country. RIP. Also, please let Helen"Lena" know that the Schwarz family is thinking of her at this difficult time too. She was very good friends with our mother @ MMH for many, many years.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I only met Andrew for a few days while we were in Afghhanistan. He was very kind and sweet. My prayers for your family. May God comfort you in this difficult time.
