His wife has been fighting breast cancer for several years now, and it appears as though they may be on final approach as he's taking FMLA leave from work through the holidays. :-\
It's pretty tough for them, too, as they also have 3 teenage kids w/ various levels of autism / special needs.
Please give your loved ones an extra hug this weekend.

Sorry to read this.
I already lost too many family members and friends to this terrible disease.
They'll definitely be in my prayers.
Are there any plans for crowdfunded assistance?
Prayers sent.

I'll PM you. Anyone else that wants info, just PM me to ask
I saw he posted an update recently that didn't bode well. I wish I knew what words to say to make this easier. Been through it with family members but not a spouse.
Sad to hear that. :(
latest update from Andy
QuoteWe are still with Teri, never count this woman out. It's a testament to how she ate and exercised, her heart and lungs have been so strong that she is still soldiering along. It is still progressing, but our nurse isn't making predictions anymore because Teri keeps proving her wrong. That's my girl :)
.... snip ....
I won't go into details about the stressful and scary things that have happened the last couple of days, but I wanted everyone to know that she is still with us, resting comfortably with the pain under control, is not scared anymore and is at peace with what's going on.
Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

From all of us.
From the sounds of Andy's latest online note, it could be this weekend that Teri finally passes on...
Very sad news indeed. I lost my Father to cancer and in the end it was a blessing when he passed to end his suffering. A much better, and cancer-free, world awaits them on the Other Side.
:-[
May her passing be gentle and bring peace to all who loved her.
^Amen.

QuoteAt 4:15am, my wife Teri won her battle with cancer. She won by living with grace, humor, a fierce devotion to our kids, lived with love, and she never let her fight with cancer define her or who she was.
Oh, man...
He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Very sad news
Much love to Andy&family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Teri, may you rest in peace. May your family find strength in their memories of you and in their love for you and each other.
That's so sad :'( I'm really sorry for their loss .Terri sounds like she fought this illness with bravery and dignity and a good deal of courage . I'm sure her family will never forget her , or any of us whose life she may have only briefly touched . I wish them all the best for the future , best wishes and prayers for her family .
Cancer took my mother when I was 10, and I curse the fucking disease everyday. My thoughts are with Andy! Keep slinging that guitar bro - you are kick ass!
