Condolences

Condolence From: Blaise DiTommaso
Condolence: This is very sad.

A great talent, that when I first saw Andy playing with Counter Attack in 1991, I was in awe and disbelief. How come Jimmy Page didn't know about this guy... As a huge Zep fan myself, Andy was the next best thing from the real band. Okay, the other three were good too, but Andy was incredible. And from what I've read about his passing, he was also an incredible person. I only knew him from Counter Attack, but if the grin on his face while playing his guitar was any indication of his enjoyment for his life, his friends and family, his loss is immeasurable.

Remember the grin...

Condolence: Cheryl (and family), I was so sorry to hear the news about Andy’s passing. I have wonderful memories of him coming over to play guitar with me, recording our own “originals” – which he could come up with amazing guitar parts and solos in the matter of minutes! He was an extremely talented musician but above that, a better person. He was very funny, always had great perspective on things…he just got it. Although I haven’t seen Andy in a few years, spending time and knowing him will always be a cherished memory.

Condolence: To the family and friends of Andrew Rivers,
I am very sorry for your loss.
Cancer like so many other ills is an unexpected and unwelcomed enemy to life.
I would like to share a hope that has kept me at peace since my dad passed from lung cancer. Learning that the God of the Bible promises relief from the pain of death and a fix for those who have already succumbed, keeps my heart and mind open and renewed to what will come. May you find comfort in the Bible’s hope that one day we will see our lost loved ones again.
Jesus showed how this promise is sure when he resurrected Lazarus. John 11:1-44.
Such bible truths provide us with hope and comfort as we look forward to the day when death will no longer be and those who have sadly lost their lives will be awakened onto a Paradisiac Earth, to a life free of sickness, pain, sorrow and the worries of ever dying again.
This being the Creator’s original purpose, it will indeed be fulfilled. Though this wonderful Promise from the One who can and will fulfill it doesn’t take away the pain and grief of death, my wish is that it brings you peace and a future hope during this sad time.
Genesis 2:7, 8, 15; Isaiah 55:11; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:3, 4; John 6:40; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 26 🙏🏼
