I have no doubt that on the outside of this letter's envelope the words "Beauty is coming for you" were printed, bold and mirthful. Beauty has come for you, Andrew Harwell, and beauty is coming still! And just think: while we are learning to keep one eye on eternity like you, Eternity has both eyes on us.

This was so beautiful and full of the best kind of love... and so generous of you to share it with us in that glory way. Thank you Elizabeth!

Oh gosh, Elizabeth. As a ‘90s country kid, this hit hard in the nostalgia feels. You might be surprised to learn that we had Cryin, Lovin, or Leavin in northeast Ohio. Happy birthday to Andrew!!

I suspected it wasn’t unique to our local station! So did you ever call in?!

That was beautiful and amazing the song and words were so beautifully mixed for such a tribute to Andrew. We're quite thankful for him too, you two were just made to be-Thanks Maranook!

My friends and I had a rotation of who was supposed to call 94.5 KSMB with the song request every day. We'd try to disguise our voices so the DJs wouldn't get mad at us:

Matchbox20-Push or GooGooDolls-Iris

Yes! I had to switch over to Electric 96.9 for these. And get my cassette tape ready to press record. :)
