Using Andrew’s Site
This site has been setup in honor of Andrew Nicholas Swanson for his family and friends. The site provides:
- Information on the funeral service and wake
- Photographs – a few pictures of Andrew
- Memorial donations – information on Andrew’s favorite charity.
- Thoughts and musings – a place where friends and family thinking of Andrew can post their thoughts and prayers.
These sections can be navigated using the top menu bar at the top of the page. The site is setup using a blog format to allow all of those people that had the good fortune to know Andrew to post messages for his friends and family. This can be done on the “Thoughts and Musings” page. Please feel free to forward the link to this site to all his family and friends.
