This beautiful lady came into my life and became not only my best friend but my Sis as well. We would talk for hours about everything going on in our lives. Andrea and her Grand children were the light of her life as she told me so many times. I loved her laugh and her sense of humor. I will miss our talks and the knowledge that any time I needed to talk, she was always there for me. I will miss you always Sis, no one could ever take your place.
