I just heard of Andrea's passing, which is a shock, as I recently thought of her and wondered how/where she was. Andrea worked with me as my assistant in HR at FNANB. She was such a nice lady, and kept me laughing every day. It was just her way. We lost touch when I left FNANB, but I still remember how proud she was of her children and granddaughter Callie. You were the light of her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kenny,
My sincerest sympathy to you and your family. I never met your mother but when you spoke of her you always had a smile on your face and a little chuckle in your voice so I could only imagine that she must have been a fantastic woman/mother/grandmother and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Andrea was an inspiration to me. I was going through chemo when I was hired by SunCom and her strength helped me through. When I came into work down, she always was there with a hug or words of encourgment. She was a good friend and I will miss her.
