You will be very missed Andrea. No words can thank you for being my Godmother and being a best friend to Sister Roberta. Together you two displayed a dedication and love of God that was unwavering. I know now that you are in heaven together looking down on us all. You will always be remembered fondly!! My condolences and prayers to your family!

We are so sorry to hear of Andrea's passing. We are the family of Sr. Roberta Swarczkopf who was one of Andrea's closest friends until her passing in 2003. Andrea was also my youngest daughter's (Margeaux Annalett) Godmother in 1988. Andrea was very loved and like a member of the family. She will be remembered for her devotion to our Lord, kind manner, and ability to tell a joke. Our prayers are with you.

I was saddened to hear about Andrea's death. She was such a kind presence when I first started working at the Tribunal. I will remember her in my prayers, with fondness.

What a shock! I drove Andrea's tunnel bus for a couple of years and got to know her as a woman who cared a great deal for the under privileged. I also got to know her as a woman with a unique sense of humour. I could always count on Andrea to put a smile on my face even when I didn't feel like it. This world is a better place for having Andrea a part of it! Farewell my Friend!

Memories of my Tunnel Bus bus days would not be complete without Andera showing off a new camera or gadget. I always admired your reasuring presence and comfort you so unselfishly gave to others. Rest in peace dear lady.

To Andrea's Family. She was one of the first smiles you saw as you climbed into the Tunnel Bus and her many jokes, shopping finds (ie. electronic stuff because that was her passion) to bringing donuts to the Customs and Immigration Officers on the Detroit Side - Mr. Carter and the gang send their condolences. Andrea was truly missed the day she decided to retire and left us on the Tunnel Bus. We asked about her often wondering if anyone had seen her and there were sightings in the City of Windsor as she traveled until she could no longer catch the City bus. We loved her very much and will truly miss her. God Bless and keep your memories of her alive as we remember her as well.

I am so sad to read about Andrea's passing. She was one of my tunnel bus friends who was like a sister to me and so many others, offering her corny jokes, a shoulder to cry on, and loving counselling, usually all three at once. God bless her family on their loss of her wonderful light in their lives.

I am so sad to read of Andrea's death. She was such a wonderful person whom I met and became friends with on the tunnel bus many years ago. She'd always crack us up with her early morning jokes. I know she's up there in Heaven making our Lord and His angels laugh with her quirky humour. My deepest sympathy to all of you who've had her bright light taken from your life.

I will never forget how you would make everyone in our tunnel bus community feel welcome. You will always be remembered for your humor and thought of in the highest regards. In loving memory of a wonderful person.
