I only met Andrea once. I was driving a cab in SF and she rode in my cab. She was so nice to me and treated me like a person (not everyone does when you drive a cab) and gave me a nice tip. She was so beautiful and kind. She gave me her card and I felt as if I had met a friend. I kept her card with the eye on it on my fridge and then when I looked her up a few years later, saw that she had passed. It is now 2020 and Andrea would be 50 and I still think of her every so often and am crying as I write this. I saw on here that she was a fellow Libra like myself (my birthday is October 11) and I am sure that she was such a beautiful soul that she had that strong and glowing and awesome impact on anyone who met her even if it was just one time. She was truly a very special person.

Just found out Andrea has passed away. I met her in the summer of 2005. She, Bella, and Kerian were visiting the pool at my apartment complex when I brought my son, who was visiting for the summer, to the pool for a swim... Our kids were close to the same age, and hit it off right away. This, of course, led the parents to introduce themselves to each other! We had a wonderful time that summer letting our kids hang out and have fun. Just blown away by her artistic talent and innate friendliness. The summer ended. My son went back home to his mother, I returned to college, and we lost track of each other. I am so sad to learn she is gone. I still have some of her art, and now cherish it as never before. The world lost a truly gifted artist and an absolutely wonderful person.

My heart grew heavy to learn of the loss to your family. It seems so unfair that a talented soul would be taken so young. God often picks the choicest flowers from the garden. I pray that He will Bless and comfort your family during this time of grief.

Sincere sympathy to your family on the loss of Andrea. God is near to those who are broken at heart (especaily when we loose someone in death) and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. (Psalms 34:18) May you take courage in those words. I am deeply sorry on your loss. Much respect, Martha.
