I am deeply saddened to have heard of the sudden loss of such an amazing spirited being, Andrea.
I am at a loss of what to say and know words cannot take away the heartbreak everyone is feeling at this time.
I was flooded with memories of years past and embracing what a big part Andrea was in my life as we were stepping away from our akward teen years into young adulthood.
My heart is breaking for you all. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that we have all been blessed in knowing how many lives Andrea has touched and made so much better by being a part of theirs at some point in their lives.
Andrea, I will see you again one day and we will share heavenly boxes of chocolate covered almonds and the calories won’t count. It will be marvelous girl!❤️
Christine, Gerard, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful Daughter, God needed another Angel so he choose your loving Daughter. it is such a difficult time losing a loved one. God bless you all, will be thinking of you all as you go through this difficult journey.
My dearest Christine and Gerard and Mike. We are sending our love and prayers that god will comfort you during this trial that has come to you. I ask that god will watch over your beautiful angel and give you trust that he will take care of the rest. She was a beautiful woman that we come to know over many years. You have beautiful memories that you made along the way with your daughter. Take comfort in that and tuck them safely away in your hearts. You will always cherish them. Love you always❤️
Andrea was my mentor with BBBS for many years, and even after our services ended with the agency we kept in touch for a long while. She is the most kind-hearted person I know, and the reason that I chose to go to university and take social work. I shared so many memories with her and many family members and friends that I will cherish forever. My most deepest and sincere condolences to all her family, friends, and anyone who was lucky enough to get to know her.
Andrea was a huge part of our family as she was my daughter Victoria’s mentor for a number of years. Andrea was a kind loving beautiful women and a friend. I am so sorry for the loss of a beautiful loving person that had a huge impact on our lives. My deepest sympathy to her parents, Mike and all her friends. Heaven got a beautiful angel .
Andrea my dear friend you were a amazing lady. You had a heart of gold and a beautiful soul. Heaven has gained another angel.Love you my dear friend. Gone and never forgotten.
As I read through previous condolences there is a common theme. She was an angel on earth and we all felt how special she was. I will always remember her kindness, her quick wit, and her gorgeous laugh. No need to learn how to swim now my friend, because now you can fly.
I will miss you everyday. You were the light in my darkness. Everytime I look at the stars,I will look for the brightest star and know that that it’s you. I love you forever and for always. I’ll see you again babe
