Andrew Stuart Cunningham
1973 to 2001
From: Maidstone, Kent
Andy died on 23 December 2001 at the age of 28 after having an asthma attack.
He left behind his parents Carol & Robin, brother and sister-in-law Chris & Carla his niece Chloey-Louise and nephew Adam... Words cannot express how we all feel.
Much loved, now gone, but not forgotten....
The one thing I remember most about Andy is his smile, it lit up the room... I can only recall one time that I ever saw him feeling sad... That and his love for golf.. Just like his Dad, out in all weathers and while most sensible people were wrapped up warm inside on a chilly day they were out playing golf... It would always amaze me that with the exception of winter, the pair of them would be out there wearing shorts!!! (I've been on the golf course on a windy day and believe me - it's not pleasant)!!
Andy had a certain cheekyness about him, which i'm sure his mum will vouch for but as any other mother would, she loved him unconditionally, regardless of his faults and more so simply because he was her son...
It didnt matter who Andy met, he always walked away having made a new friend. As such, he was well liked and respected, which was especially evident at his funeral, so many flowers were sent, so many people attended... I will never forget the words "We are here to accept the body of Andrew Stuart Cunningham" as we followed Andy into the church...those words broke my heart in two, as they did many other people that day.
Some people probably wonder why Andy's death has affected me so much, as i only knew Andy for 2 years (i think more or less exactly)... well, it's because I trusted Andy with my life, and nearly always turned to him when i needed someone to talk to... I looked at Andy as my brother, not as an in-law and as one of my friends. Since he died i've been left with a huge void where he once was, as have many others...
Andy - I Love & miss you everyday. Always in my thoughts and prayers...
TO MY FRIEND ON VALENTINES DAY

LOVE ALWAYS SHIRLEY XXX
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
At the ending of the day when I'm weary
After a waterfall of tears have all been cried
And I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary
Nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
Just close my eyes to block all the sorrow
wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
to do it all again- tomorrow.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
and I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
the eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
and I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
It's you, my angel watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
Thank God for your angel wings.
·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°..
for all the family x

Broken Hearted
Please shed no tears for me
For I am safe and well
For I have left the material
In the Spirit world I now do dwell
´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´
♥«´¨`•°miss you°•´¨`»♥
¸.•*(¸.•*´♥ `*•.¸)`*•.¸
I know the pain you are going through
For I see it in your face
I miss you all so terribly
Be assured I am in a better place
´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´
♥«´¨`•°miss you°•´¨`»♥
¸.•*(¸.•*´♥ `*•.¸)`*•.¸
I was pleasantly surprised to find
As I stepped through the heavenly door
The amount of people that greeted me
That I hadn't seen before
´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´
♥«´¨`•°miss you°•´¨`»♥

When you get over the initial shock
Remember these words I've said
Be comforted in the knowledge
That I am very much alive not dead

♥«´¨`•°miss you°•´¨`»♥
¸.•*(¸.•*´♥ `*•.¸)`*•.¸
I am just like nature
I have shed my material husk
The overcoat I once wore
Will disintegrate and turn to dust
´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´
♥«´¨`•°miss you°•´¨`»♥
¸.•*(¸.•*´♥ `*•.¸)`*•.¸
God has granted all eternal life
And that includes you and me
We shall meet in Gods paradise
As soon as your spirits free

Its your birthday andy
It hurts so much that you're not here,
you're birthdays here without you
it stands alone,without a reason just like me.
i try to make this day special
like it was when you were here
but my best made plans,with you in mind
are lost like me,without you.
You're gone and its you're birthday,
such an empty lonely birthday
and i cant do a thing about it.
And it hurts so much that you're not here.
Not now,not ever,never.
for andy,love always sis x x x
my guardian angel
I look up and i know your there,
my guardiand angel and all that is fair.
Pure as water,just like a dream,
my guardian angel that i see.
You keep me safe and warm at night,
when i need a hug you hold me tight.
You kiss my cheek and stroke my hair,
my guardian angel and all that is fair.
You cry so silently and laugh so loud,
a smile on your face that makes me so proud.
You are in my dreams you are my prayer,
My guardian angel,thanks for being there x x x x

You certainly did that Andy... I miss you so much, wish i could turn the clock back - even if i could only have one more day, just to say goodbye...
Thinking of you today, and always xXx
