We are friends of Pat and Terry Smith and knew Andy from the track. It isn't easy losing a loved one on " what is suppose to be such a joyous holiday. We know this because we lost my Brother the same day. Keep your memories close to your heart because they will help you thru the hard days to come. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family too in the next days. God bless and be with each of you.....
