Andrea was a daily light in her classrooms at Madison East High School. She came into school every day seeking to restore, maintain, and strengthen positive relationships in the whole community. She wanted everyone to be happy and wouldn't leave you alone until you smiled along with her. She visited all of her teachers for years after being in their classes personally. I hope the family can be comforted in the knowledge that Andrea was a compassionate light in the world despite her many challenges. May she be remembered with joy, as God remembers (Luke 20:38).

Robert, Brenda & family,

Andrea's at peace. Think of the good times and smile. For comfort read Ecclesiastes 3:1-15,17,19,20,22. May The Most High God bring you peace during this time.
