I was Andrea's first babysitter . She was such a sweet baby and friendly young girl. My best to her boys and her parents. I saw her at Bill Smith's wake a few years back and she was her same cheerful self. Good bye mon amie .

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I only met Andrea briefly in person- I see her spirit each week through her wonderful son Jacen, who exemplies courtesy, kindness, and ministry as an Eagle Scout. She has left a strong legacy.

Words are inadequate, and I cannot begin to grasp the anguish of this loss. I can only ask our Heavenly Father to wrap you all in His loving arms and, in spite of grief and sorrow, grant you His miraculous Peace that passes all understanding.

I am so very sorry to hear of Andrea's passing. I know that this must be such a difficult time for all of you. God Bless you and speed you all toward healing and light. She is now free of pain and able to sing with the angels. God bless you.

Andrea was a very special sweet lady. She and our daughter were very good friends all through high school and beyond. May the Lord welcome her to His bosom and show her the wonders of His Kingdom. Another Angel has been added to his Kingdom. Praise God and all the saints and angels of Heaven. Mrs. Schmansky

I will always remember the sound of her laugh and the twinkle in her eye when she was really excited. And the determination when she really wanted to do something! She was a really fun person and friend to have back in high school! Monkees reunion concerts and the Montreal trip where our friendship really began. Our friendship matured and we weren't together as much with adulthood and becoming mothers, but we were never far apart in thought! I will miss her dearly. My love and prayers to Mr. and Mrs. Bergsrud, Eric, and to her boys, Sean and Jacen whom she loved with all her heart.
