This is his final goodbye before execution ! This is as close as you can get to an execution as a penpal !
In this card he writes:
« I know this card is better suited for a boyfriend / Girlfriend relationship, but I asked for a friendship card and this is what they gave me. Go figure , huh?
I just wanted to say goodbye. I also wanted to say how much I valued and treasured our friendship over the years. You have been there for me when most others haven’t , and words fail to adequately express how much our relationship has meant to me.
Thank you for being my friend! »
Much love,
Andrew KoKoraleis
His execution was held the next day on March 17, 1999.
Rarely do you see actual full Andrew KoKoraleis signature. He usually typed his letter and signed Andy or Andrew.
