With gratitude

The Andrews family thanks you.

Thank you for the love, prayers, calls, messages, flowers of kindness, stories, and presence shared as we celebrated the life of Bernard Antonio Andrews.

Your support carried the family through the viewing, Funeral Mass, burial, and repass. Every hug, quiet word, memory, and act of service helped us honor Bernard with the dignity, warmth, and faith he gave so generously to others.

We are especially grateful to everyone who traveled, served, read, sang, ushered, carried, coordinated, prepared food, shared photos, and helped make the day peaceful for the family.

With love and appreciation,
The Andrews Family

For sharing

Your memories are a gift.

The stories, photos, and reflections shared with the family are becoming part of how Bernard's legacy will be remembered by his children, grandchildren, family, and friends.

For serving

The day was possible because people helped.

Thank you to the pallbearers, ushers, readers, musicians, church team, funeral home, venue staff, volunteers, and everyone who handled a detail quietly so the family could be present.

Because I Can

Bernard's legacy is opening doors for students.
