Anderson, Melvyn "Andy"

Sorry for your loss

I am so deeply sorry that I cannot be there for Papa's celebration of life. He was by far the best grandfather a girl could ask for, and I will treasure the memories we shared of his last birthday and our visit forever. I love and miss you always Papa!!

I loved my grandpa more and more each time I saw him smile. He will be dearly remembered and will always retain a space in my heart.

I am so very sad that Papa is gone but my principal said "Don't cry because it's over, be happy because it happened." I will always love and miss Papa, but like I've said before, Papa is in a better place now and he is not in pain and he wouldn't want me blubbering because he is gone. He would want his memory to be happy and full of smiles and jokes. I will always remember him and how he always called me "dainty." I love you Papa.

Papa Andy was my best friend. He was there whenever I needed him and he gave the best advice. I will miss him dearly! Love you papa

I didn't know Andy personally but I know and love his daughter Tonya very much. She was blessed with his witty personality and sense of humor. I'm so thankful to know her, my heart and prayers are with your family at this time.

You were a good father to our daughters and I will always remember you for that. Give Teresa a hug and kiss from me. Peace be with you.

You are my baby brother whom I love very much. I wish we had more time together. God gave us memories so we may have roses in December. Every memory of you will bring me a rose. You are now home.

We were truly blessed to spend time with Andy when he was in Utah, and glad we took him to see the Grand Canyon, one of God's most beautiful creations, that he can see from above now, for I know he was at peace with God.

Papa,

You influenced the lives of many. You could only now, from you perfected vantage, understand the depth of your impact on the lives around you. I pray that you can now also see the depth of the love that everyone holds for you. God Bless and keep you. Please give my heavenly Father a hug...

I grew up with Andy, Pat, Tammy, et. al in Dayton and, although it has been many years since I have seen them, I still think of them from time to time and remember them fondly. Thank you Andy for being part of my life and the small, tight knit community that we called home! I pray for strength and grace for your family as I know that you have left a void in their hearts.
