Andre Gorsuch Tribute

I guess since I was too in shock to speak at the funeral this will suffice. Andre was one of the people i have known so long that i dont remember where or when we REALLY met. I know we were in elemantry school and he lived down the street from me. Andre and I had more of a sister brother relationship growing up. I grew up playing outside with him and his little sister amber, our neighbor Ebony ( RIP) and Chantel. I remember eating Quesidillas w/ sour cream that Andre's mom made, I remember Andre calling me flat chested and then being surprised to see me pregnant although I was 21 yrs old lol. I remember so many long rides home from Lewis Jr high school on the school bus. I remember our 6th grade graduation walking away singing "it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday" I almost fell over listening to that same song walking out of Bayview Baptist Church...Andre's funeral. This time my long time friend wasn't walkiing with me.
I keep thinking over and over that Andre wasnt supposed to die on the streets that he played on as a kid. So many summers we had water gun fights and chased each other up and down bollenbacher, pyrmid, and alvin. Now it's no longer a game. I will always remember Andres laugh, smile, and his demenor. I miss him already! You never know just how much you will miss someone until they're gone for good. I woke up the day after Andre was killed and prayed. The night before I couldnt sleep. It was like if i stayed up long enough the morning would come and Andre would be parked on Bollenbacher talking to friends.
