Mrs Andrews was a very good friend of my Mother.
I will never forget her voice and very distinctive accent when she would enter our house. Always always put a smile on my face.
I also got to know the entire Andrews family. Each and every one of them very great people.
God Bless you Virginia, and look over those you leave behind.
