Dear Andrea,

Your birthday is here once again. As always, thinking of you. Although I miss you very much here, heaven is a better place with you there.

Dear Andrea,

I can't believe it's been 17 years.

That was 6,205 days ago, and I have thought of you on every single one of them.

Dear Andrea,
Another long and lonely year without you has come and gone. Today is your treasured birthday once again, and I remember celebrating the way we used to. As a matter of fact, every single day of living is a celebration and I am so sorry your life was cut short. You were denied your celebration of a long, productive life and that simply is not fair. Hopefully your special day up there in heaven with Mom, Dad, and Solo provides some comfort, joy, and solace today.

September 29, 2023

Dear Andrea,

It is hard to fathom that it has now been 5,840 days since you left this world.

Not a single one of them has gone by where I haven't thought of you in some way.

Dear Andrea,

Another birthday, another year of missing you on your special day. It was special for me too; that is the times we were able to share it together.

I will never forget those special times. Thinking of you always.

Dear Andrea,

It is simply impossible to believe that today marks 15 years that you have been gone. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....it's just not fair. I know that being up there in heaven has eliminated all the discomfort you were experiencing. That's how I try to stay positive whenever I think of you, which is every single day.

March 11, 2022

Dear Andrea,

Your birthday has arrived once again. I think of you often, and wonder what your life would be like now if it hadn't been taken so soon. As sad as it is that you're not here, heaven is a better place for having you there. I can vividly see the balloons, streamers, candles, and cake. Enjoy your special day with Mom, Dad, & Solo. I miss you very much.

Happy Birthday. Today you´d be 65. You´ve been gone for 15 years. Oh to see you once more on this side of the grave!

Dear Andrea,

14 years ago today, I sat down to read the morning newspaper and was shocked to have found your name in the obituaries. It was the last thing I ever would have expected.

I never have found it fair that a sweet and caring person like you missed out on so many more years of life.

Unfortunately, we all must deal with the hands we were dealt, and try to make the best of what we have.

Missing you yesterday, today, tomorrow, and always.

March 11, 2021

Dear Andrea,

Stopped by to visit you, share some time together, and say Happy Birthday. As is often the case on your birthday, spring is in the air.....the birds are singing.....and the squirrels are playing. There is a sweet and calming innocence of just simply enjoying life and what it has to offer. A renewal of hopes and dreams, and doing whatever possible to make our world a better and safer place. If everyone did their part, we could achieve so much. I wish that I, myself, had done more for you. I'm so sorry for letting you down. I miss you more than I can tell you. Enjoy and celebrate your special day in heaven with your mom, dad, and Solo. Rest in Peace, my Angel.

Dear Andrea
It’s another cool fall day, with most of our leaves already gone from the trees. It’s another day of missing you. It’s been too many years of not seeing you, not talking to you, not being able to share with you. May you always rest in the arms of heaven and in the glory of His love.

September 29, 2020

Dear Andrea,

Fall is a beautiful time of year. Came to see you, as the sun was shining.....the birds were singing.....and the squirrels were playing. Wish you were still here to enjoy it. Thinking of you today and always.

March 11, 2020

Dear Andrea,
Happy Birthday in heaven. It is another one of many beautiful days on earth, just like the times we used to share together. I think of you every day. Rest in peace, my love.

March 11, 2019

Dear Andrea,

Spring is on the way and your birthday is here once again, a sure sign of joyous celebration. Thinking of you today and every day. Heaven is a special place, as you and your mom, dad, and Solo enjoy a wondrous time together. Happy Birthday.

Dearest Andrea,

Each year as it arrives on the day of your passing, I ask myself what and why. What could I have done to make your life more comfortable....and why did this happen to you at such an early age. You were just as loved and meant as much to your family and friends as people like Bob Hope and George Burns meant to theirs. So why did they get to live to be 100, when your life was cut short at 50. They had 50 more years than you did. In the overall religious scheme of things, that's something I just will never understand from God.

March 11, 2018

Dear Andrea,

Happy Birthday.

Hard to believe where the time has come and gone. Once again your special day is here, and I am thinking of you (as always).

Will never fully understand why you were taken from this earth so soon. You had so many more years to live and enjoy the everyday pleasures of life.

Continue to rest in peace, my love.

March 11, 2017

Dear Andrea,

Yet another whole year has come and gone since you & your mom & dad & Solo shared your last birthday celebration together. Each passing year it gets more difficult to understand why God took you from this earth so soon. Certainly a question I will never be able to answer, but one I will forever be asking. Enjoy your special day up there in heaven.

March 11, 2016

Dear Andrea,

It is your special day once again, and how wonderful it would be to spend together. It is hard to believe that you have been gone for so many years, but you live on forever in my heart. Happy Birthday.

September 29, 2015

Dear Andrea,
8 years ago today. Just can't fathom it has been that long without you. Some day we will be together again. Rest in peace, my sweetest heart.

March 16, 2015

Dear Andrea,
Happy belated birthday to a dear friend. We have been thinking of you as we plan a 40th class reunion of the PHS Class of 1975. It seems like just yesteryear that we were in the hallowed halls. We will miss you this year for the festivities but we will have our own reunion in heaven someday soon.
Friends forever,
Mike Duffy

Dear Andrea,
I think about you every day, but especially today - Happy Birthday. Know you're having a big party up in heaven with your Mom & Dad, and of course Solo jumping around. Someday I'll again join you for all the festivities.

Miss you my friend, I know it was 7 yrs. yesterday how could it have gone by so fast I don't know, seems like yesterday

September 29, 2014

Dear Andrea,
I can't believe it's been 7 years since you've been gone. I recall so many fun times together, and miss you so much. Came out to see and spend some time with you. Every time I visit it is always such a pleasant and peaceful day, just like your everlasting smile and demeanor. Will be back again soon.

March 11, 2014

Dear Andrea,
Thinking of you today, as I often do. Happy Birthday. Wish you were here so I could celebrate with you, but I envision a big party going on up there in heaven. Lots of joy, laughs, and smiles...the way it used to be, and the times I will forever treasure.

July 31, 2013

Dear Andrea,
Nice day out last Sunday. Decided to take a long walk, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. So I went to see you, and your mom & dad. Will be back again soon.

March 11, 2013

Dear Andrea,
Happy Birthday. Wish you were here; I miss you so much. But I know you are celebrating today in heaven.

October 8, 2012

Dearest Andrea,
Was hoping to send this on Sept 29th, but my computer was undergoing repair. It is so hard to comprehend that you have been gone 5 years now. On the one hand it seems so long ago, yet on the other it seems like just yesterday when we shared such special times together. The world was a better place with you in it. I can't help but think that if I made a different decision back in 1995 that you may still be with us today. Thinking about you always.

Miss you, Andrea. I wish you hadn't left me. Nothing is the same

March 11, 2012

Dear Andrea,
I drove over to Oakwood today to spend some special quiet time with you, and to wish you Happy Birthday. Heaven is a joyful place today as I can see you celebrating with your mom, dad, and of course Solo. You would have been 55...should have had so many more years left to enjoy the wonderful gift of life. The weather was beautiful, just like your always-sunny smile. The breeze was vibrant, just like your always-energetic personality. The air was warm, just like your always-caring heart. I think of you everyday.

It is ironic what seemingly-small event can trigger such big memories of someone. I turned on the TV today to watch an episode of "Cannon", a favorite 70's show of mine that I have not seen in quite some time. The main guest star turned out to be Dack Rambo, and I immediately thought of Andrea. I remember her being very fond of him back in his heydey. In a way it truly felt like Andrea was there with me while we watched together.

Dear September 29 visitor, you are a good friend to Andrea. God bless you, Janet

September 29, 2011

Andrea,
I miss you so much.
4 years ago today you were sadly taken from this earth. Not a day goes by where I don't remember your big smile, fun laugh, sweet voice, and the cherished memories. It is a comfort though knowing that you are resting in peace, and no longer going through all the pain. Someday we will be together again.

Happy Birthday. I have thought of you not just today, but everyday. You were taken from this earth far too soon. Miss you so very much.

Andrea was a wonderful sister and friend. Thank you all for remembering her. Even in death she has more friends than I do. What a girl she was. I miss her, too.

October 25, 2010

Andrea
I had no idea this was still up until I got an email today a message had been added. I miss you so much & think of you often - I go by your house & talk to you. I don't have any pictures of you except in my mind - I see your smiling face & hear your laughter. I hope you & Mom are keeping each other company.
Your friend always,
Linda King

Andrea -
It has been 35+ years since we graduated from PHS. Those were the days as I sit and remember the good times.
Iam hoping that one day we will be able to reminisce those glorious days when we all get to heaven.

Andrea ~

Happy Birthday.

I just spent some private, quiet time alone with you. Oakwood is such a serene and pretty place. The birds were chirping, and the squirrels frolicking. The bright sun continued to emerge from the clouds, with hints of spring in the air. I had hoped to bring you some flowers, but unfortunately the winds are much too extreme.

While we were together I expressed my thoughts of fond memories from the past, and remorse at the lost opportunities. I am so saddened that you were taken from this earth at such a young, vibrant age. People like George Burns, Bob Hope, and Hal Roach entered my mind. They all had the chance at living to be 100. For reasons I cannot comprehend, you were cheated out of potentially 50 more years of your own life. Why? It's just so unfair. In the overall religious scheme of things, it just makes me wonder.

On my way home, I passed the street where you used to live. I thought of all the fun and exciting birthdays you must have had while growing up, sharing wonderful moments with your parents, sister, classmates, and other friends. I'm sure your dog Solo even got in on some of the action.

In closing, I want to say I am thinking about you today, on your special day.....and everyday. I am not privy to the knowledge of what exactly you were going through in your final months and days. Whatever it was, it was so undeserving, so unnecessary. But I am relieved that you are out of your pain and forever resting comfortably near your mom and dad in Oakwood.

September 29, 2008

Thinking of you Andrea - not only today - but everyday. I can't believe you were taken a year ago today already. All my love, and rest in peace.

In loving memory of a beautiful courageous spirit, a true woman of faith.I thank God for having a chance to get to know you but the time was too short. I will miss you so much but I know you are finally home now and I hope you like the colors God picked out for your room.

Peace, Linda King

I could write a book about what Andrea means to me and my family. She graced us with her presence in our home over this past year, almost every Saturday nite when our home group met. When she got too ill to drive one of us would go get her, near the end when she couldn't come, we went to her. She inspired us with deep contentment. Her frankness about what she was going through and her willingness to trust us with her dying self has left an indelible mark on our lives. One story that shows her compassion: My son Ben is 10 years old. She has loved and been totally interested in his welfare, as well as my step daughter, who is 19. One Saturday nite Ben had friends in right when everyone gathered to eat. I thought he might prefer the friends' company so I let him play downstairs while we ate. Later when her came back up and found out we had eaten without him, he was crestfallen. He so looks forward to the adults that gather and the banter around the table and the stories and love that are shared. I sheepishly placed some food at the now empty table for him as everyone had retired to the living room. Andrea said "I'll sit with him!" And the two shared a private dinner together. Her kindness to a disheartened little boy is a treasure to me. I will miss her so much, especially on our Saturday nights. It just won't be the same.
