Andrea was such a tremendously fun person, full of life and light. I had been going to her to get my hair done since she worked at Great Clips, and I looked forward to that time. From catching up on life, finding out things we had in common, seeing Gage in the back room and "tipping" him when I came, always laughing about everything. Andrea has been an amazing woman and mother, and I will be praying for her family. She will be dearly missed!

Andrea we had so many good times! Road trips and all the adventures before we had kids. We didn't talk as much over the last couple years but our small conversations were always like we never missed a beat. I truly hope you know how much you meant to so many. I hope Little George greeted you with open arms❤ Pat and Dick I am incredibly sorry and sending my deepest condolences.

I worked with Andrea at NTB. I always looked forward to our girl chit chats. We would laugh together because she was always full of life and upbeat. Even on her worse day she would conjure up something silly to say. My heart is heavy from this loss because she was a co-worker that turned into a friend. She will be truly missed. Prayer for the family and her handsome little .
