Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wong, Kailey, and other family members,

This is Andy's online friend, and I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I know it has been almost 10 months since his passing, but I just wanted to share the great times I spent with him. Andy is a caring & loving person to have in my life, and I'm happy that I was lucky enough to have met someone as wonderful as him. He was the person who made me smile and laugh hysterically for hours. I love the sarcasm and the jokes he made; his laugh could light up the whole night sky, and his voice made me feel safe. When I heard about his passing from Josh, I felt my heart drop. At first, my mind could only believe it was just one of his usual pranks he liked to pull. However, it would seem after such a long time, this is tragically not the case. He never told me & his other online friends that he was born with some kind of heart disease to begin with, as he always acted like himself with no restrictions around us. He always made everything seem like it was fine. It was devastating for us as we thought about what he went through. To this day, I feel guilty for not treating Andy better than I have before. I truly wish we all had more time to spend with him. He lived a short life, but he's in a better place where his soul will forever be in the loving care of God. 

Love,
Gwen Yocin

Dear Wayland and Cheng, 
I was so saddened to learn of Andy's passing. I was a learning support teacher at his elementary school -- you and I met a few times at meetings at the beginning and end of year. 
I thought of him often after he moved on to secondary. I always loved working with him at school. He had a keen earnestness to him -- he really enjoyed working hard on things he found truly engaging and I Ioved that about him.  
I often wondered what occupation he'd grow up to take on. I am so sad to never know that. 

Dear Cheng and Wayland,

My heart goes out to you both and family for the loss of your dear son Andy. I know how much he meant to you. 

May your happy memories  give you peace and comfort during this challenging time.

David Lam and family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wong, Kaily, and family,

I'm so sorry to hear about Andy.  I remember him as a boy who was engaged in school, and who loved to interact and play with others.  He could be serious and observant one moment, then suddenly break into smiles or mischief with a classmate.  In Grade one he was close to Sadie and enjoyed reading with her and her Mom when parents read with us on Friday mornings.  During one bus field trip, they sat together and fell asleep leaning on one another coming back to the school.
I'll always remember him and his gentle spirit.  I'm blessed to have taught him.  He was a joyful light in this world and will continue to be so.  
With love and care,

Patricia Wong-Reinhardt

I'm Vjeko, Andy's English tutor.

I first started meeting Andy for online lessons a year and a half ago. He seemed shy at first but he was always ready to learn.

Andy was honest and hard-working. He always put in a great effort each meeting. He completed every exercise and he asked questions when he did not understand something. 

He also completed every homework assignment (100%), and the effort and detail were almost always above and beyond what most students cared to do. Most importantly perhaps, Andy’s ideas and opinions were thoughtful, sincere, and profound. He put himself into his work.

I will remember Andy as a shy, but at the same time, brave student. He never avoided his responsibilities, he met them directly, and he succeeded in his work. 

It is truly a tragedy that Andy is gone so soon. I wish him joy, and I offer my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Andy, I hope you are enjoying some action comics and manga. Rest in peace. Only the good die young.

So sorry for your loss Cheng, Waylon and Kailey. I can't even imagine what you all are going through right now. I wish I could have been there by your side to comfort you in your time of need. But I am just a call away if you ever need to talk.
Andy was a beautiful soul with a big heart. When I would come into town I always made a point to try and get together with you to see your kids. I know it was not always possible.  I always loved seeing you and your kids try playing with mine. Wish he had more time with you. You are amazing parents and I know he knew he was loved. Now he has his Angel wings and he will look down over you and protect you. 
Love you,
Nicole Monk & Family

My prayers are with you.
