Dear Melanie I am so, so sorry for this tragic loss of your son. My heart breaks for you & your family. I am deeply saddened as I had the pleasure of working beside Andre. A gentle, kind soul. He was very soft spoken but when he laughed it was infectious. I treasure those memories of how special he was too bond so well with some very difficult students. He will ALWAYS be remembered. If there is ANYTHING I can do please reach out. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family at very untimely & unfortunate loss.
