Condolences for
Drew C. Ferrandino

I am so sorry for your loss. Everyday Drew spent on this earth he knew he was loved and he lived with the joy and beauty of an awesome family. You all are inspiring to others but more than that you've taught us all about hope and love. Thinking of Gavin and knowing your family will keep Drew's spirit in your hearts. God Bless you all and your family.

I can't say that I knew Drew very well, but I did know something else. I knew that Drew was an inspiration to me and every other student at the school. I was amazed at the courage he showed, and more importantly, his personality. He was always rather cheerful and it was a pleasure of mine to read to him. Drew was fighting sickness, and we were his allies in battle. When he was finally taken over, part of us were destroyed too. Best of luck to his family. We love Drew, even after he departed from our physical world.

My very dear friends,

As a parent, there could be no words suitable or adequate to describe the depth of sadness of your loss. No words. We humbly share in your grief and pray for the Lord to help your family through these difficult times. Know that your family and friends love you are praying for you and Drew, and that we will rejoice with our loved ones once again in the presence of the Lord. God Bless

We want to express our deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear son and brother. Drew has touched so many lives...even though we only saw you a few times after we moved, Drew and your family was always and continues to be in our daily thoughts and prayers. Your strength and courage is a true inspiration to all. May you find comfort in the days ahead and peace in the lasting memories that you have made.

We will miss our hero Drew, but never forget him. Drew was courageous, determined, smart and resilient. And in his own special way - he taught US about the things that are most important about life; without ever speaking a word. An incredibly gifted young man with an extraordinary family that supported him. He is at peace now. In a place where he can run, swim and bike — all the things you taught him he could do…he now can.
