Dear Andrea,

With tears in my eyes, I think of you every day. You were my first niece. I remember so many other first's...your first words, your first steps, your first day at school... You gave me my first great niece, Ashley.

But now there will bo no more firsts for you. However, you will always be the first I remember in my heart, forever.

And don't worry about your Ashley. She has her many aunts who will be there to take care of her, support her, guide her and lover her.

Mom,

I miss you so much. I know that you loved me more than anyone, I just hope that you know I feel the same way about you.

I don't understand why these things happen but I hope in some way it helps even one other person in the world.

Jason, Susan, my family and friends,

I love you all and thank you for all of your support. We will all get through this together, be strong.

Thank you to all that came on saturday, it means alot to my family and I.

Saturday's service for Andrea was the most beautiful, touching service imaginable.

The outpouring to her family was heartwarming and soothing for them I think.

As a relative only by marriage I am an outsider to this, caring none the less but not having the history of love & happy memories that so many of you do. ALWAYS keep those memories close to your heart....

from what I've witnessed and heard, Andrea had a huge heart full of love for Ashley... about to become a mom myself for the first time I can only hope and pray and wish and dream to have a heart so full of love and a relationship so emotionally strong as Andrea and Ashley shared.

May god bless the Kopec family, Jason, the Waterhouse family...... and may the donations POUR into the Leominster Battered woman's shelter..... even if we all spare $10. every bit makes a HUGE difference!

I am forever changed by Saturday's service. It was lovely, honorable & touching & yes, so sad........

My love to you all who have lost.

Be strong and carry on, she would want that for all.

Andrea,

We love and miss you.

Jim and I missed you at our wedding at the end of August. We learned that you left sooner than planned for Florida, wish you didn't.

Wishing we had been able to say goodbye...wishing you had come to the wedding to see Grampy dancing like Fred Astaire, to see Uncle David looking like the GODFATHER.

You were missed! In presence.

The news was numbing and still borders the unbelievable & unimaginable... You are missed, and will be missed & are loved...

sadness and tears aren't enough to express...

Honoring your memory...

may god bless you and yours and give strength where strength is needed...

Love,

Christine & Jimmy Kopec

Words cannot express the sadness, Andrea. Jim and I came to your yard sale the week before you moved, we were dissappointed to not see you at our wedding and to find that you had left for Florida earlier than planned. We missed you on our day.

Our dissappointment was so quickly replaced with disbelief, sadness & the empty feeling that so many may be feeling upon the terrible news.

You are loved by many, and so many of us who love you would have been there for you had we known of the danger. Some may feel guilty and some may just ask why. We know you lived your life your way & your personal life was just that!

We all just wish we could have known more and done more......to protect our family member and offer support.

The sadness cannot be measured.

We pray for Ashley and will be here for her should she ever need anything at all! ANYTHING.......

that is what family does, we take care of one another & love.

Rest in Peace & God Bless you.

All our love.........

Jim and Christine (Fournier) Kopec

I'm just a stranger. Never met Andrea or anyone in her family but I wanted to express my sincere condolences. I, too,have lost someone to domestic violence.

May she rest in peace and may her friends and family find hope, peace and comfort.
