Dear Tom, Jim, Lauren, Mario, Cora, and Olivia,
Andrea was a beautiful, kind, and generous woman who loved each of you dearly.
We first met her when she and Tom were married in their beautiful Navy ceremony. In visits over the years, as we got to know her better, we came to appreciate her warmth, kindness, sense of humor, and devotion to all of you. What a wonderful person she was!
We know how much you will miss her. We will, too.
With all our love,
Diane and Mark Siegel
