Relation: Through Salvation Army Church and (adopting them as our own parents).

I want to send my deepest condolences to Andy’s and Eva’s family. My wife and I attended the local Salvation Army church here in Powell River for a few years. When we first joined, right away, we adopted Andy and his wife Eva as our own parents, we even called them mom and dad. It was Andy who I remember first meeting. He was saying something funny and I couldn’t resist meeting him. We hit it off right away. Eventually stopping by their house on occasions to visit. Every time we would visit, Andy (pops) always offered his famous tarts or some other sweets. They were amazing! Due to the pandemic, we had not visited Momma and Pops for a while. We wanted them to stay safe. We had known in the past that he was sick but he continued going strong. Sadly, we just received a message recently that he had passed. I was truly heart broken. I will miss seeing him driving around town and hearing his funny wisecracks. I will also cherish my moments I had spent with them both. I look up to Andy and Eva, they are the true understanding of love spending many years together. I’m sad for his wife Eva also but I know, Andy is right there with her still, by her side. Our heavenly Father is there watching over her as well. I pray for her to find comfort in Him. My prayers also go out to each and everyone who new Andy, I pray that you will find comfort in the Lord, knowing that one day, will be with Andy again. Blessings to you all.
