Jay, Suzie, Liza, Kathy and families..I am so sorry to hear about Andrea. She was such a sweet lady and a great friend. She loved her girls so much and her grandkids were her sunshine. When she spoke of Jay, there was always a sparkle in her eye. It was easy to tell that she had a special bond with Kathy. I will miss our wonderful lunches together and her incredible sense of humor. Praying for all of you.

Andrea, I am still so heartbroken about this news. You saved me so many times at QHS, and I loved coming down to visit you during the day. Your smile and kindness were always evident and we are worse off for having lost you. Rest, my friend, and never forget…”Hello? Christmas!”

So very sorry to hear of Andrea’s passing. She was always a bright spot in my days at QHS — always kind, helpful, and upbeat. We enjoyed visiting with her at my sister, Jane’s, house on Ohio too. She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers for all.
