A Letter from Heaven
When tomorow starts without me,
and I’m not here to see.
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes, filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you loved me,
as much as I loved you.
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I am right there in your heart.
Rest in Peace my friend
Andy…I will always miss the way you would get so riled up about a story and talk faster and faster and say “cuz” as in cousin throughout it! You are so special to a lot of people and I wish I had told you that when you needed to hear it. Rest In Peace

You remain always on my mind and forever in my heart. Love you
I am so thankful that I was with Andy when he passed and he was not alone. Andy was my soulmate.
Andy was great with my sons eventhough we did not married for the thirteen years we were together. My sons would introduce Andy as their step father and Andy was so proud.
I have known Andy for twenty years. We recently reunited Andy said he was so happy he said there was not even have enough words to explain his joy and happiness that were reunited.
Andy said even when we were not together he would have dreams and he was coming to look for me and finally it was time; time we spoke and from that moment we were back.
We have been working on our home together. On Tuesday, Andy and I meet my son, his wife and the baby along with other family members for extended breakfast. Andy said he is a grandfather now. On Wednesday Andy said, “All things are possible with God” he said you gave me that key chain. Andy came to work with me and reuniting with family and friends. On Friday, after we were done working Andy wanted pizza and on the way out of the restaurant Andy was happy and singing to me. Andy fell asleep and when I woke he passed.
Farewell my faithful friend…
We send our condolences to the D’Agostino family. We are sorry for your loss, we just heard. There are great memories from our old North Haven days.
