Andie touched my life as she did many others, with kindness & laughter which all seem to come so naturally. Andie could always help you to see the positive side of things, and was always there for you... she knew I was scared to drive to work on the snow, so she would call to say "The roads are bad, I'll be there to pick you up" Remember kids? That's when I use to talk funny (really English)this is just a small example of how Andie cared x
We have all lost someone very dear, and have...

I have pictures of Andie everywhere - but I have one here at my desk that I see everyday - and everyday I still can't believe she's gone. It's been a year now and I still "see" her at the grocery store, or driving in traffic. I find myself starting to make my way over when I realize it's not really her. How can she really be gone? She's not really though is she. I know she lives on in each one of us, especially in Brandon and Kara. You both possess so many of your mom's qualities and I see so...

It's been a year since the memorial service. A very LONG year.
I don't think I'll ever stop having that feeling of wanting to pick up the phone and realizing she's not there anymore... hopefully will never forget the sound of her laughter, or the reminders in my head of what she would have said to me in any given situation.
The only way I can look at it is that she's on vacation... someplace too far away to call home from... and it's beautiful, sunny, warm, and the sand is soft and...

I guess the simplest is the best: I can't remember a time when there wasn't the four of us girls, Suz, Andie, Tammi, and myself. Whenever we were able to get together for a time in the summer it was always awsome! As we grew older and got families of our own the times together grew farther apart but the anticiipation of getting to spend time together and share with each other kept us going. There was never a dull moment when we were able to converge on Mom and Dads house and talk. The...

Our deepest condolences go to Andie's family and friends. We are so thankful that we were allowed to know Andie, even if for a short time. Andie always greeted us with a beautiful smile and a warm hug. She was truly an inspiration in regards to how easy it was for her to gain new friends and to remain a good friend to others. Brandon and Kara, you are GREAT kids, and that is because of your mother. She was proud of you both. May you recieve comfort whenever you are in need of it. Andie...

Andrea is my niece. My daughter, Sonya, and I went to visit with her this past summer when she, Kara and Brandon came to Maine to visit with her Dad. We had never met Kara and Brandon, although she had sent me pictures off and on over the years as they were growing up. What wonderful young people they are.
I visited Ron, Betty, Andrea and Susan in Alaska the year Andrea graduated from high school. It is hard to believe that the beautiful young woman I saw receive her diploma...
