Memories and Condolences
for Andrea Kranz
Terry Murphy
May 16, 2008
There was seen a smile of stars upon a young Lady most dear. It is she who had breathed upon my life, love, trust, and caring. Inside this heart of years, she filled with kind gentleness.
Most dear, in the splendor of your soul, if you listen to the snowflake soft inner beat, it is the sound of certainty from my love being yours to, eternally hold and receive its comfort.
And when the time came for departure into heaven's rainbow, you turned for the last time with your golden hair flowing on waves of wind. I beheld your loveliness in the veiled white gown worn, which bespoke of purity from your caring nature. Looking and holding to the other, we bore witness to knowing the truth of love shown for one another in the happiness of past times, together with your beloved parents and brother.
The Lady most dear, turned than walked away towards happiness to be softly consumed in the pristine mists of Avalon, where princes and princesses are eternally blessed. Lady most dear, be forever loving.

I am so sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful person with such a sweet personality. I remember her from 9th grade when i had spanish with her and we would crack jokes the whole hour about the teacher. Even though i had lost touch with her since she left NBW, i always hoped she was doing well and this is very sad to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, may God bless you and help you guys through this rough time.

Julie, Ron, & David,
I am so sorry about your loss. Andrea was a very special girl. I remember all the fun times Andrea, David, and I had together playing when we were little. Thinking about those times makes me happy because of all the laughs we had together but they mostly make me sad now that my best friend from my childhood is gone. Andrea's service was so beautiful and I was so touched by Julie's letter and David's and Ron's speeches. You are all in my thoughts and prayers now and forever. I MISS YOU ANDREA!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I remember meeting Andi through Mari. She was extremly sweet and had a bright smile. She always seemed to want others to be happy and never really had any selfishness to her. I remember the time she put her hand on my shoulder and told me I was a good person and I regret not doing the same for her because she was most likely the most sweetest person in the world.

I met Andrea through a good friend and became really close with her in third grade. when i moved, we fell out of touch, which i've regretted ever since. Although i may not have known her recently, i was privileged to have met her, and she was an amazing person. i would like to express my sorrow to her family and friends and hope that things work out.

Words can not possibly express my sorrow for you and your family. Andi was a wonderful girl and she will be missed by many. To me, she will always be the ever smiling little girl who put makeup on me and asked me why cupcake liners had ridges. She truly touched every person she met and will always be held dearly in my heart and memories.

I didn't know Andrea. I saw her picture in the paper and something about her smiling face struck me. It seems unnatural to leave this world at 19 years of age, but I'm quite sure God has provided a place for Andrea infinitely better than what this world provided. I'm also quite sure she is smiling in heaven, happy to be home at last.
