Although I never met you, I feel like I knew you through your son Andy. Andy has helped me so much through out the years. I wanted to thank you Mr. Vdovjak for raising such a beautiful son who is so selfless and always willing to help others! He had to have gotten that trait from wonderful parents. May you rest in peace
