Michael Andrew Armstrong-Prior 1979-2006
This morning news that I had feared came about my youngest brother Andrew.
After nearly 10 months of “recovering” from a major heart operation, he died peacefully this morning at 9.30am in Glenfield Hospital.
He had been struggling since the late spring with major fluid build-up problems. This was frustrating to him, as was starting to make a recovery after such a serious operation. It’s difficult to understand the discomfort and pain he has suffered for most of this life – let alone the condition he has had to carry for most of his life. Throughout this period my Mum and Dad have practically put there life on hold to care for and support him. I feel slightly innadequate in that respect, and only hope I can support them in some way at this time.
Andrew was a gaming demon, and I hope he had a chance to enjoy his Wii before he passed away – he’d talked so enthusiastically about it when we saw him a few weekends ago in hospital.
Andrew/Andy/Michael – We love you and will miss you so much.
I am thinking of both you and Kathy at this time John. Kathy has been telling me what Andrew has been through and his struggle since the operation. He must have had a very special character to deal with everything and keep his chin up.
My thoughts are with you both.
Besy wishes.
Jon
Our condolences to you and your family.
You might be interested to know this, Michael (known as Lazychu to us) was very well regarded over here at rllmuk.

I studied with Andrew at Judgemeadow CC, and new him to be a top guy.
My thoughts go out to you and your family.
Hi there,

My condolences to you and your family at the loss a truly special friend…
He was one of those people who made other people smile, always a friend and always there to help… he will be sorely missed.
