My condolences to Andrea's entire family and Perry. I didn't know Andrea had 4 daughters, and that she had lost a child and granddaughter. I wish I had gotten to know her better. We became acquainted at the Hawkeye Tap where we both played volleyball. She was very sweet, kind and one tough woman who fought the long fight trying to defeat her cancer. Perry, God bless you for all of the love, comfort and support you gave Andrea during the last 2 years. I am so glad she had you. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
