I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Hickman family. Since I had heard of his passing, I have been reminiscing about our childhoods and growing up together, in our own backyards. I remember climbing the huge tree you guys had back there, and just being little kids and having fun. Andrew had always been a great guy; I never once saw him without a smile on his face. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Hello Mrs. Hickman,
I am not sure if you remember me I was Dorothy Skrepak when you taught me in middle school. I married Steven Iverson a few years ago and anyways, I heard the news and I am so sorry for your loss! I know that does not help out at all but Steven and I are living in Ankeny now too and if you need anything at all; someone to cook meals, help with keeping the house clean, or whatever during your time or mourning just let me know!

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Andrew. He was one of the kindest people I've ever met. He was so silly and would do anything to make you smile or laugh. Everyone deserves to have a person like Andrew in their life - I am thankful I had him in mine. He was so creative and always thinking up something. He will be so very missed by many of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Hickman family and all of us that will forever miss Andrew.
