In Loving Memory of Bohonk445 - 08-21-2006, 01:05 AM


Bohonk445, Andy, is my brother and was a loyal member of TPF. One year ago today he was taken from our lives too soon. He is missed greatly and will never be forgotten. In honor of his life, I pulled together some of his favorite things to remember the wonderful person he was and how much he loved life. I love you Andy, you are always in our hearts.

That is a very touching post. I never knew Andy but he sounds like a very nice fellow. I am sure he misses all of you as well.

Prophet out.

Same here...I never had the pleasure of meeting Andy. From all the responses I read a year ago sounds like I missed out on something special.

This is what helps me...instead of dwelling on his absense I always try to remember the reasons I loved having my loved ones around. Even though I fight through the tears, a smile and a few laughs seem to make that dissapear!

I know it hurts, that part will never go away.

Joanna, I had a chance to meet Andy once - and spent some time talking with him since Mike and Cody were so late (they blamed it on the bride, yeah, right.) Great guy. I'm sure he was a great brother. I wish I had known him better.

The funeral was very touching. I had never attended a police funeral and it so touched me. Seeing such an outpouring of love and support was something else.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family today. Keep the faith.

Read post #8 and #9 on this thread:
http://www.texasphotoforum.com/forum...6818#post56818

Also he said: "I think you are the most creative person on this forum".

How many times has that been said about Jezebel. He was probably the first to say it.

Also, I really liked that avatar.
