Thank you for your prayers and kind words we family members are struggling to come to terms with Andre murder, life will never be the same Andre brought a lasting presence into our lives, his aura had people gravitate towards him naturally.
Easy to say don’t let anger consume one, however, my sister is left without her son,
his children without a father, his sisters without a brother, aunties/uncle without a nephew, cousins without their cousin, his circle without a real friend.
