Andi was a extraordinary woman with an uncanny ability to inspire optimism in the face of defeat. She helped me make my journey through very difficult times and for that I will always be grateful. She inspired me and my husband to find strength and joy in even the most dismal of situations. Her friendship, kindness and generosity will always be with us. We love you and miss you Andi. There is one more star in the sky this night.

Tomas, Marc, David and Jeremy our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you.

Andi will always be a part of my memories of Northampton School for Girls. She was a very special friend. She was a generous, kind and true friend - a beam of light when life became tough. My sympathies go to her family. She was much to young to have left this earth.

Andi was one of my best friends at Northampton. She was beautiful inside and out. Her smile could light up a room. I can still remember her wedding day and her outdoor wedding. She was radiant and so in love. I am so saddened that she is gone. Tomas, children and grandchildren, please accept my deepest condolences. I know Andi will be terribly missed.

Andi was always a wonderful person with a terrific personality. This was so from the day she was born (as I well know). Andi was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.

There are few people who are special angels on earth, and Andi was certainly one of them. Her kindness, courage and unconditional love should be an inspiration to all.
