“Andre, you are the most God-fearing, passionate, honest, loving, hard-working, protective, and genuine man I’ve ever met. I see Jesus in you. And as a result, it makes you so easy to love. I truly did not know the definition of love until I met you; a sacrificial choice to lay down your life for the wellbeing of another.”
