I will never stop loving you . I long for the day we will be together again. I am so lost without you. I love you my sweet sweet baby girl.

You just are heavy on my mind God knows how much I miss seeing your beautiful face  hearing silly laugh everything  love & miss you more then words could explain give my mom a big hug love you rest in peace until we meet again beautiful 

Three years!  I’ve been reading your letters and how loving you were.  Always reassuring me things will be ok. You would be home soon.
I love you too my beautiful Andrea, my life is so empty without you, every thing is different now.   You always gave me a reason for living life well and now, I just live. But you have brought me closer to our Lord, you thought me that, because of you I have learned to help prisoners, addicts, your story helps others and that’s how I get to keep you near me. You opened my eyes. I miss your hugs, I miss your laughter, I miss you loving me. Wow, what a wonderful angel you must be! I added another heart to your tree. I hope one day it grows tall enough to reach you and you will find all the hears and angels on it.
I love you,
Mom

My  dearest daughter,
I feel you absence every day,  i hope you are hearing my prayers. I live my life fully and are making wonderful memories, but with every memory I make, every picture I take, every  stained glass I make, every ciachki I collect I ask myself, for what? Who do I pass this down to? Who do I save it for?  I always in my heart and mind thought about your future and I tried to set it up so you would always remember me and the love I had for you. 
What I have left now is an empty room , nothing for you. You are no longer in need of anything. So I stopped carrying about saving you anything.... I just keep living,  feeling your absence, everyday is happy and sad, everyday I laugh and cry. This is my new life now, it’s never just happy, sadness and heartache is a part of my everyday.
I’m lonely without you, I’m lost without you, 
  I will see you soon.
Your mamma 💔

Dear Andrea, 

You were truly a beautiful person with a heart full of gold. We shared alot of good and dark times, I appreciate all the time we've spent through the years regardless of the situation, whether if it was from a distance or when we'd get a chance to meet up and talk even if it's for an hour. You now have that 2nd chance, you are free from all the pain and suffering. I'll miss so much about you, I wouldn't know where to start. Thinking about you every day still continues. I'll always love you. You was and are a strong person. I don't care what anyone says, I know you tried your butt off to climb out of things. Anyway, thank you for all the great times we shared as friends, lovers, and a family. Watch over your mom. Polish princess..Rest In Peace..

Yours truly, "J"

You were the Daughter I never had. " My Little Lost Puppy".  We did everything together for soo long...In fact it's hard to remember when I actually LOST you. Somewhere between childhood and adolescence I'm sure. I only wish I could have kept you SAFE forever. You were one of the Happiest Times of my life and will forever be Loved and missed little girl....Dad Larry

I remember pushing you on your little toy cars and playing games with you. Days of fun in the sun.  Taking you for rides in my Camero and to school. You were my sister and always made my time in Florida great. I wish we had more time, I wish we had more days canoeing, I wish many things. I love you. Be at peace.

My Dear Andrea,  I can't  believe you are gone.  I have always  Loved you and you were  always in my Heart and Prayers. 

My Angle you are with the best Angles now and at Peace, We will join again some day.

Love Dad

My Dear Sweet beautiful baby,
I will always remember you like this, happy, singing, laughing,  telling stories (loudly) always full of love, always hugging on me and holding my hand, smelling my hair.... you always said; if I die you were cutting off my hair so you can forever keep it with you, and now I’ve cut yours to keep with me forever. How do I live without out you? It was always supposed to be  ‘you and me, kid’  My heart is shattered and I will miss you till we meet again.  You are my sunshine, forever I will love you.

Miss you more then anyone will ever know but i know you are no longer suffering. I will cherish our memoirs for ever and a day

  Andrea was my first friend as a child. The first person to invite me to a sleep over.  She would let me play with her toys and treat me like the older sister that I never had.  We bonded immediately. My dad would drop me off for a sleep over and I would be scared, within minutes I never wanted to leave. 
  Andrea and I did everything together we swam, played games, we went to horse camp (I almost gave up the first day and sure enough Andrea convinced me that I was capable of doing it. )
  As teenagers we carried on our friendship even if we hadn’t seen each other for a short people of time. We were able to pick up where we left off no matter what. Andrea had this ability to make me feel loved and appreciated within minutes of seeing her. 
  Even this year I called Andrea crying. I was a 45 minute drive away. All she said was send me the address I’m on my way. She stayed with me on the phone the entire time reassuring me that everything was going to be alright and because she said it I believed it. 
  I think about my childhood friend every day of my life. I worry about her mom who loved her and even I so much. Also I’m sad because I can no longer check in after a long period of time. All I can do now is remember times like these. 
  Andrea was a beautiful soul inside and out and that piece of me will be gone forever. 

My red head,
If I could just see you one more time I promise I would make you smile. I would hold you a little longer and tell you how much I love you.
Andrea was always full of love. I met her right before 3rd grade started. I remember exactly how we met and how it made me feel that very moment. Andrea always had a way to bring people together. 97% of my childhood memories are with Andrea. I would never forget everything we did together.. the trips we took together. Andrea will always and forever hold a piece of my heart. She was not only my friend but my sister. I will forever be greatful to our lord above because I got to meet you. I will never forget you and I will hold our memories forever in my heart. I love you my friend.. my sister .. till we meet again  <3

Ala,
I can't imagine your pain right now, but I continue to be  impressed by your strength. If I can do anything for you while you travel this road, know that I am here.

With love, hugs and support,
Yvonne
