Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I read in a newspaper article that you were a missionary at one time. As soon as I saw the news, I prayed for your family. I will look forward to shaking your hand one day in heaven.

We will miss working with you Widman. I always called him Ned Flaunders due to the fact he was involved in missionary work. He never cused at all. He was a good guy and a great co-worker. We will take over your watch now. Just make sure you watch over us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Andy's family. Andy will be forever remembered at Toledo Christian School as a true hero. He was one of our finest students and will be remembered for his running ability, his charisma, his fun loving spirit, and most of all his love for God and others. John 15:13 says, "Has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
