Andrea Thomas Zak

She was my Kindergarten teacher in 2003, I remember her husband stopping by and we were all gifted Christmas ornaments. Still have mine to this day. The last memory I have of her is me breaking my arm in the 1st grade and her coming to check on me. She was awesome.

I miss you more and more every day!
All my love, Your sister

Panda--
I miss you so very much--I feel you in my soul in bursts throughout my day. You are still as bright in my heart today as you were years ago...for that, I am grateful. I love you. Amy

Anda-Panda,
I miss you a ton and I think of all those fun times we had growing up! I was watching my wedding video the other day and there we were just dancing away having such a good time! I will for sure miss those times but never forget them. And as for Julianna, I cant believe how much she is just like you, beautiful, out going, and STUBBURN!! Jason is doing a wonderful job, along with your family raising her! We all love and miss you so much!!

Anda- we miss you so much. It is so hard to believe it has been a year. You are still very much a part of our lives and you live on through Julianna. Every time I see her, I see you and it is truly a blessing to have your spirit live through her. We are so happy to have her and Jason back in Akron.

Bill, Penny, and Tara- we love you very much and want you to know you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Love, Sara Nathan and Jake

Andrea,
Today I have been handing out pictures that you took of your students here at Wesley Chapel. Jason gave them to me...as I pass them on to those whose lives you touched I am reminded once again of your giving, kind spirit that lives on in so many people. I just MISS you so much!! Julianna is so beautiful and looks so much like you..it is a comfort to give her hugs. I think of you every day and am so thankful for the time that we had together-you will always be in my heart. Love...

We miss you Andrea and to think that we released you from this life a year ago is still just as staggering and painful. Julianna is quite the image of you and it does my soul well to see you living in her. We are anxious for Jason to move home to Akron so your family can be close. Today we remember you and the vibrant life you had. Our memories are not faded, but improved. Death sometimes forces us to remember and be thankful for those who we have living around us today. May I remember to...

A year has passed and we still miss you tremendously. Very often I think of you and smile. Take comfort in knowing that Julianna is happy and beautiful and is doing wonderfully. I see more of you in her every day!

We sat around a fire the other night and the last time I did that was with you! I wished you were there and somehow I knew in my heart you were.

We miss you very much. Thank you for blessing our lives the way you did. Always know that you are very...

There are days and moments when the memory of you and who you are flood my world. Sometimes it's when I smell bacon cooking or use the pan you bought me to cook in. Last week it was when Kristen and I were looking at ponchos and we were both reminded that you wore them first; even when they weren't in style yet. What a trendsetter. We miss you Anda. We grieve for your presence today as we plod along our daily lives. You made a difference in my life and I miss you.
