I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Aunt Andrea. The last time I saw her was at Uncle Ron's wedding. We talked and talked and she couldn't get over how big I was. I remember when I was little and would go over to the house and get babysat by Aunt Andrea and Amanda. It was lots of fun and she always made me laugh! She will be truly missed by me and my dad. Our prayers are with Amanda and Apple Jack. Mike Megonegal

Andrea loved to talk and laugh and will be missed. The last time I spoke with Andrea on the phone, we were talking and laughing for quite some time. She was a joy to know. May God bring comfort and peace to Jack and Amanda at this sad time and may God grant Andrea eternal rest.

Words cannot express my deep sorrow in losing my friend, Andrea. Thankfully, I have a lot of fond memories to cling to. She was in a class by herself and always made me laugh. More importantly, she always laughed herself. That's what I'll remember the most...her laughter. My heart and prayers go out to Jack, Amanda, and the entire family.
