Oh dearest sister, another year of your passing and so much had changed. You are a grandma now and what an adorable grandson you have. Happy belated birthday, you would have been 55. I miss you so much after all these years.

Remembering you today and always, Andrea. Missing you and your smile and laugh. Everything, and all the fun things we were going to do but never did. All who knew you - we were robbed of your presence when your life was cut short. Love from Holly

It is 10 years and we miss you as much now as we did then. I told Pops it will never stop as we hold you in our hearts. I have been trying to send your favorite flowers but no one is answering my call. It makes us feel that we can do something during this time. I will keep trying. Everyone is fine and we all are hunkered down at home.
How many ways can we say, miss you, love you? Pops and Mom
March 29, 2020
It's been 10 years today and I can't believe it. Think of you and miss you so much. Always in my heart. Love, Holly

JANUARY 10, 2020
A NEW YEAR. EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL WITH POPS AND I. STARTING TO SHOW OUR AGE, SLOWING DOWN, MORE DR. VISITS AND NEW ACHES AND PAINS. DON'T WANT TO COMPLAIN TOO MUCH, IT JUST MAKES POPS WORRY. THE WEST COAST FAMILY ARE DOING WELL, SCHOOL, WORK AND ENJOYING THE GREAT WEATHER.
THINKING ABOUT MOVING AGAIN.... DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WILL LAND BUT OF COURSE, YOU WILL KNOW. WE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT BUT NO FAMILY EVEN CLOSE. THE OLDER WE GET THE MORE WE MISS FAMILY. OK. ENOUGH OF THAT. I STILL SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE EVERY DAY (MY FAVORITE PHOTO).
MISS YOU, LOVE YOU MOM AND POPS

Thinking about you as usual. The San Diego Union Tribune - Legacy.com has just informed us that your Guest book will remain online permanently. Thank you. If thinking about her (funny story, etc.) please participate on-line as it would remind us that she is not forgotten, not only by her family but by her many friends. Andrea was, is and always will by special in so many ways.
Another Easter. Love you miss you. Pops and Mom

ANDREA: NEXT FRIDAY (the 29th) IS THE DAY WE ALWAYS DREAD. WE MISS YOUR SMILE, LAUGH AND LOVING WAYS. YES, YOUR BEAUTIFUL PURPLE BASKET WILL BE THERE SATURDAY (the 30th). IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME, AS IT JUST "YOU". AGAIN, ANOTHER YEAR AND THERE ARE 2 CELEBRATIONS. COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL. POPS AND I ARE UNABLE TO TRAVEL BUT WE WILL BE CELEBRATING THEIR SPECIAL DAYS.
I PRAY EVERYDAY, SEE YOUR SMILING FACE IN OUR FAVORITE PICTURE ON THE BUREAU AND THINK TO MYSELF, "MISS YOU" AND GO ON WITH THE DAY. LOVE, MOM AND POPS

I'm so sorry that I didn't write this to you yesterday, Mother's day. Unfortunately I fell asleep and remembered today. Anyway, just wanted to again tell you what an awesome Mom you are and always will be. Your children are so special. I attribute all of their qualities to their parents who were and still are always there for them. You are sorely missed everyday. The picture I see here today is the one I see first thing in the morning and you make me smile. Good times. Luv Pops and Mom
April 18, 2018
We will continue our messages to you and about you as long as we are here. Our hope is that we and others will never forget the beautiful mother, wife, friend and most of all your family who will never forget what we have lost in our own lives. Truly special. Luv Mom and Pops

February 2018:
Here at work tonight at our Reunion Ctr and listening to a band playing to about 500 residents in the Ballroom. I was looking at flowers that I want to send. A song, don't know the name but the words went "can't live without you, can't smile without you". Jeez and like a fool, burst out crying. You would have had words of comfort but we miss you. Words just fail me but you know we will always miss you and never forget. Luv Mom and Pops
February 19, 2018
See your face everyday. Think of you often. Your greatest gifts that you have left in this world are fantastic and loved. We know that you are super proud, as we are. Love Mom, Pops
July 31, 2017
We haven't forgotten and never will. It is so hard to look back and yet it was the best of times. Your children are fantastic and Pops and I wish we could see them more often but being so far away it just isn't feasible. Looking forward to two more college graduates and you can bet I will be there in the cheering section. Love you, miss you Pops and Mom
April 18, 2017
Your Mom wrote us the loveliest note about our flowers that were sent to celebrate your life. Pops and I continue to miss you every day. As usual, I cannot find the words once I start reminiscing. Just know that we love you and won't forget you ever. Luv Pops and Mom
March 29, 2017
Andrea: Another year. It doesn't get easier as time passes for some. Pops and I think of you often and reminisce about all the good times with you, CM and kids. Miss you, love you. Pops and Mom
March 23, 2017
Andrea: We didn't forget, nor will we ever. I looked back on all the notes that have been posted over time and found one that actually made me smile. Do you remember I would call you all on your birthdays and make you listen to the "Dolly" that sings Happy Birthday. Well, Dolly has broken and we can't get it fixed. So sad, but so glad we have had it for so long and she made people smile..... I hope you are smiling along with me instead of my crying every time I try to say what is in our hearts. Love, love, love, Pops and Mom
June 11, 2016
She did it!!! Everyone so proud. Still hurts my heart when I think of the most wonderful times now and in the future that we all need to enjoy and you are not here to share them. Luv Mom and Pops
April 18, 2016
It is that time of year that we are asked "do we still want to participate" in Legacy? Of course, we answer. As Pops and I have no other way except every day in our hearts we see this exact picture and remember.
I do need to do this for myself so that I can tell you how/what I am doing on this day. It will soon be your birth day and the dolly will sing for you.
Luv Mom/Pops
February 18, 2016
Sorry. People have said that time heals all wounds. It's not true. If anything, there are times that are truly intense with a great sense of lost. What should have been, what could have been.
Not a good day. The thing that helps us the most is knowing that your spirit continues in your children. They shine with love, joy, compassion, etc. All the qualities that your showed during your brief time with us.
It is easy to say "we love you" but hard to acknowledge that we can never hug and kiss you until it is our time and we see you again. luv Mom/Pops
October 9, 2015
Miss you every day. Pops and I will never forget not only your beautiful face but your inner beauty and soul. God must truly love you. Someday we will find out why he took you from your husband, children and family. Sorry, it's hard. Luv Pops and Mom
March 29, 2015
Five years. We pray for you/pray to you every day. There is so much that we miss about you. We will never, ever forget. Love Mom & Pops
February 1, 2015
God, I miss you every single day. Words just fail me when I think of you. I see your face every day sitting on my bureau. We haven't forgotten you and we never will. I always think what if?? Luv Mom/Pops
September 4, 2014
It has been quite awhile. We want you to know that we have not forgotten you and never will. Daily life seems to get in the way, some good and some not so good. My sweet sister has now passed, she too has taken a piece of my heart Good things, seeing grandchildren who helped us through that time (even though they did not realize it). Pops leg, not funny then but the story is funny now. As much as we wish not many of them come true. If only/one more smile, hug, conversation. Pops and I know that now is not the time but someday. Luv Mom/Pops
May 7, 2014
Received pixs of your gorgeous blonde hair, blue eyed daughter going to a prom. You would be so proud of your children and what they have achieved in school and sports. Due to you and your husband they will grow to be adults who will contribute to society and will reach their goals in life. Luv you forever, Mom and Pops

Getting ready to go to work and thinking of you and your beautiful family. Wishful thinking doesn't change anything, it just helps me to remember what you have added to our lives. Miss you in every way, every day. Luv Mom and Pops
March 29, 2014
It is early morning, the day I dread, March 29, 2010 the worst day of our lives. God took you away from your husband, children, family and friends. We will never forget you. The love your showed everyone in many different ways, giving of your time and self, sharing, etc. There are no words that can express how we feel or help end our broken hearts. Luv Pops and Mom
December 19, 2013
I had a dream about you last night. I could see you running and laughing with the kids, carrying groceries
into the house and yelling for them to come and help. I remembered every scene. I hardly ever dream and to remember was a comfort. I told Pops and we cried for our loss. Merry Christmas. Luv Mom and Pops
November 29, 2013
Thanksgiving. Another holiday has passed. Time moves on and with each milestone you are deeply missed. Luv Pops and Mom

We miss you more than words could ever express. Think of you every day. Pops and I have a terrible sense of loss and still can not accept what has happened. It is so hard never to know why.

Her first year is over. It just flew by. They are all growing into responsible, wonderful children that you would be so proud of. Both you and CM have instilled the best of everything in them. We love you, CM and kids more than we can express. Luv Mom/Pops
April 18, 2013
It means a lot to Pops and I to have this bit of space to share our thoughts with and about you. CM is doing a fantastic job. As the kids are getting older they show the values that have been instilled in them by you both. Miss you so much. Luv Mom and Pops
March 29, 2013
Thinking of you today. There are so many questions in regard to what if. I pray everyday that you are at peace and know that you are with Jesus. We know in our minds but haven't accepted your not being here in our hearts. We love you Mom and Pops

March 29th is coming upon us and it still amazes me how time has flown by. Sometimes, I still wake up and expect you to be downstairs sitting in your favorite chair drinking coffee. March 29th also happens to be Good Friday this year, the day Jesus Christ died for our sins. You share the death day of God. I don't know why that fact gives me some peace. Maybe because I know that because of His sacrafice you are up there in heaven, happy and without pain. My faith, which you instilled in me, gives me hope that I will see you again one day.
Love Always,

Another whole year has passed. You are in our thoughts and prayers today and every day. Still can't express how much we miss you and always will. Luv Mom and Pops

Could not bring myself to type note on Mother's Day. Too many wonderful memories of you. I always said you are "mother earth" and the "whirling dirvish". Needed to hold your children close and never stopped moving. I suppose this only makes sense to you and me, lol. lov Mom/Pops

Permito and Miller Families,
Please accept my condolences and wishes for spiritual comfort during this difficult time. It was my privilege to have been a part of Andrea's journey through high school as one of her track coaches. She was often the "anchor leg" on the relay team, and from the comments others have made, she held this role as well in the many activities she was involved with in her life beyond high school. When it is all said and done, it is the accomplishments and legacy one leaves that remain with family and loved ones. May you all find comfort in the shining string of memories Andrea left behind. What a classy woman and competitor, one who will be missed!

Andrea was such a wonderful person. I will never forget the time the girls were in Temecula for a tournament and they got their socks all wet and muddy. Andrea took all the socks ,drove all the way back home to clean them and brought them back for the next game! That was the kind of person she was She had the biggest heart.

The best to you and yours.

Dear Curt, Reagan, Riley & Curt Jr.
Your Wife and Mommy was an incredible woman. She was so loved by so many. She talked about you kids all the time and was so proud of your athletic abilities and your accomplishments in school. She always shared pictures of you to all her family here at S.O.N.G.S. We use to Van Pool together when you lived in San Marcos and laughed all the way to work and back talking about financial investing and what we all did that weekend with our family.
Your Aunt Carla is an incredible woman also, and I know she has been there for you all during this very hard and confusing time.
We love you all and pray for your strength and God's guidance.
Our Love and Prayers,
Dodie and John Crain

Andrea was a fellow "Eagle" and I enjoyed running into her at track and on the trainer bench for San Pasqual High School. She always had a smile and a wonderful laugh.
It was a pleasure meeting her again much later in life on the soccer field-watching her and Curt juggle the kids from one practice to the next. She loved her hectic schedule and was so proud of her family. Andrea had a strong devotion of faith and family. She was always ready to help others, and saw only the positive in people. She was an inspiration to all, and will be missed. I am sorry her time was cut so short- she was one of the good ones taken way to young.

Dear Curt, I was so sorry to hear of Andrea's death. She had been in my prayers since Barbara told me how ill she was. Hoping for a miracle but it didn't happen. I will have you and your family in my prayers during these very difficult days. May her memory help you remember the happier days you had with her. Mrs. Claire Tanzler

One of our more recent memories, was volunteering at Petco Park with Andrea. Long rides down and back she and I talking about the kids. She and John joking about the stand managers/other employees. She had such a rich sense of humor, our sides would ache from laughing. She was the ultimate lioness for her family. Fierce, Strong, and Loving, very protective of her children and her spouse. So organized knowing where she had to be next and with what kid...I bet that van had a million miles on it. We also had the pleasure of seeing her competitive nature in full form, on the golf course. She would cheer for someone full hearted but we all knew we just didn't want to win that last place award. My daughters first thought was I will miss my ref'n buddy. Batavia will never forget those times with Andrea.
The world has lost a wonderful soul and the heavens have received a tireless angel. We all thank you for being part of our lives.
God Speed Andrea.

Dearest Andrea, It has been a while since we last saw each other but you always have and always will hold a special place in our hearts. What wonderful memories of living in San Marcos. All the neighborhood kids running around from house to house having fun. We all went through so much together. Our thoughts and prayers are with Curt and your beautiful children. You will live on through them! God Bless You!
