Two reader comments about Andy Alcala
I knew Andy since his birth he was a good kid I always remember teasing him for being such a shorty although once he grew he was taller than me. I loved him as a baby he was so tiny and so cute. He will be missed. I will always cherish the memories i have of him. I am also proud of him since he made an amazing decision to give life.
