My Story


Andrew was our nephew, but my husband Dan and I always thought of him as "our son who lives away from home." To our son, Zack, Andrew was a brother. Zack and Andrew were just one month apart in age. Andrew was known and loved for his humor and originality and generosity. Zack said that of all his friends (and Zack has more friends than anyone I know), Andrew was the one most likely to get along with everyone. After the 9/11 tragedy, Andrew, who had been working all summer as a minimum-wage grocery bagger, contributed $100 to the Salvation Army. When his mother took him shopping for shoes, he would reject pairs that were too expensive. Even in his pre-high school days, he was looking into college educations that would either be free or very low cost.

There is so much to say about Andrew and the strange and terrible tragedy of his violent death in the earliest hours of Christmas Day, 2004. I will be writing more in the days to come.

If you visit here and knew and loved Andrew, or if you know anything more about what happened on that terrible Christmas Eve in Lowell, Massachusetts, please don't hesitate to contact me: judith@jcgreenburg.net
