Andrea and I became friends quickly while working at RAH.  She was someone I could go to for advice, support or a laugh.  (She was also always down for a good shopping trip too!)
 I think about her often and miss her very much.  Sending love to her family today and everyday.

I am so very sorry to hear this news, and sorry for your loss. I worked with Andrea for many years at Venture Publishing. She was a valued member of my team and I cared about her deeply. She was so popular in the office, being sweet, and kind, and funny. She was very good at her job, and always interested in learning more. We kept in touch a little over social media, I saw that she was such a strong woman, challenging herself all the time. There are a lot of people who will miss her from those days. We will miss her very much, but be grateful that we knew her.

I worked with Andrea for many years at Venture Publishing. She was a wonderful colleague. So young. I have no words.

Dear Friends, 
Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Terry and Jeannie, Jennifer, Daniel and Family, to the Cruickshank family and the Hunter Family.  Jeannie and Terry, we are deeply sorry for the loss of your daughter, Andrea.  She was a very vibrant, beautiful, intelligent woman and has been taken from you much too soon. Our thoughts are with you all and we hope you can find some comfort in your memories and the knowledge that Andrea's suffering is no more. She will be sorrowfully missed by all who knew her.

Terry, Jeanne and family,
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your precious daughter. My heart felt condolences to you all. 

Dear Jeanne - I am so sorry for your loss.   When I worked with you way back in 1980 to 1984 in the lab - you spoke of your children and I thought what a wonderful mother.  My prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely, Susan Smith

Dear Jeanne, Terry and Family.  
My thoughts and prayers are with you during these sad times.  
Andrea was such a beautiful young woman.  I am so  honored to have met her although not through the best of times.  We met by chance at a MASS volunteer thank you party.  By chance, I sat at your table and realized Jeanne, that we had worked together....  Thus met Andrea and again on zoom meetings and at treatments.
My heart is sad, but I will always continue to think of lovely sweet Andrea.
Take care my friends
With Caring Thoughts  
Love Sheila Rosenberger(Moravec)

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I pray God wraps His loving arms around each of you at this most difficult time and brings you peace. May you also find comfort as you share fond memories. 
Sincere condolences,
Cydney and Russell Croome

We met Andrea through the myeloma support group where Andrea was always positive, inspirational, and great to work with.  She is missed and will be remembered for her contribution and support of others impacted by myeloma.  May you, Terry, Jeannie and all the Cruikshank family, find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Barry and Merle Olson

Dear Jeanne  , Terry and Family , 

Cherish the many fond memories of your daughter  , Kimberley  , 
in the years to come.  It sounds like she was a wonderful , caring 
person with many accomplishments.  She left the world too young
but will be remembered by many .

With Deepest Sympathy , 

Helen-Rae C. Kolthammer

I am afflicted with Multiple Myeloma and attend the support meetings and that is where I first met Kimberly.  She was not very talkative about her disease but we at the MM support society did not let that deter us from cheering her up.  I hope she went away knowing that she had friends out there, that suffer through the pills, the constant blood tests (we call them the vampires), and the side effects.
She is now in the Lord's hands and feeling no pain.  

Jeanne and family; my sincere condolences to you all for such a great loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Theresa and I would both like to  send our deepest  sympathies to “Andrea’s” (as we knew her) family.  We are thinking of you at this terrible time for you.  Such a loving person and loving family.  To know all of you, was very nice; you would make my day so much better.  Sincerely Dr. Rick as I was once known as.

My condolences to Andrea's family.  Andrea was a very special young lady.  I got to know Andrea at the senior's centre where she volunteered.  She always greeted everyone with a big smile.  She was always very friendly and upbeat.  She had a great sense of humor and there was an aura of strength around her. 
I feel l honored to have know Andrea and very lucky to have called her a friend.  
May Andrea's spirit live on through everyone who knew her.
Rest in peace Andrea.  I will miss you.

My condolences to the Cruikshank family. Jeanne, I believe we knew each other in the 1980s. I worked for Scott Paper Company, Philadelphia (Communicators' Workshops). I'm not sure if this is you or not. Either way, I want to express my sincerest sympathies to you and your family in having lost a daughter so suddenly and so young. I live in Florida now; however, I just moved from Bloomington, Illinois where my husband and I were members of Epiphany Catholic Church there. It is truly a small world if you are that Jeanne Cruikshank. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I met Andrea over 7 years ago at the Royal Alexandra Hospital- I feel honoured to have been part of her life and will never forget the passion that she had for her work, her patients and her colleagues.  Through all of this she was so determined to come back to work, and we loved having her as part of our team. She will be missed by all of us.

Dear Jeanne and family, I am truly sorry to hear that Andrea passed away. She was so fortunate to have all of you fighting along with her against MM. 
Sincere condolences, Inge

I went to school with Andrea. She lent me her Baby-Sitters Club books when we were kids, and we and some other classmates went through a phase where we called each other by the characters' names. I will never forget her kindness and gentleness. My prayers are with her loved ones and friends. 

I first met Andrea about 18 years ago. I can still remember the orange peacoat she wore to the Proeco office. We shared a few laughs over a realtor and our eternal friendship grew from there. Between the years, there was joy, many laughs, hard times and tears all without judgement or fear. Her courage to try new things, internal drive, strength, resilience and passion will always be inspiring to me.

I will always cherish her love for running, Calvin Harris, Chapters, Coronation Street, manatees, her learning to swim, standing up at my wedding, vacations in the south, cake decorating, paint nite, amazing hotdogs at Cineplex, the best cinnamon buns at Sugar Bowl and all the times spent talking over brunch and coffee. Cheers with a glass of Wakefield Promiseland!

She’s a trailblazer with a kind spirit who’s beauty, grace, style and willing to give it all will never be forgotten.

With deepest sympathy to the Cruickshank family. May Andrea’s memory and spirit live on through the passion and love she inspired in others.

Andrea, thank you for so much memories during junior high, high school and working at the library.  I will cherish your friendship forever. 
Condolences and prayers for you, your family and friends to find peace during this time.💐


Andrea,  i recall our first facebook connection through our lovely furry friend we both admired!  We shared our passion for animals and since we're 80's babies we also shared love for stuffed animals that were really popular such as "pound puppies".   You my friend made my dream come true from the flashback in 80's, by sending me such a beautiful puppy that i will forever be grateful for!  I lost my real fur baby Mushi last month and whenever i think of her, i hold onto the pound puppy which i will name it "Beckett" as you know why!  Recently, Beckett had one ear flopped up as if he's listening to me and i held him and thought of you!  And, when i opened the email from Karine, this name looked familiar and it was about you which was a big  surprise, and our friend Beckett was sending a signal to me that you are spiritually here with us!  I am forever thankful i had the opportunity of meeting you on facebook video through yacc facebook group.  I'm glad i had the opportunity to send you a necklace with your favourite colours stone on it, which was created by beautiful member by the name of Charlene!  Thank you for reaching out and allowing me to have the opportunity of getting to know you!   Rest in peace beautiful XOXO 

Love, your friend Melissa & Beckett

Our condolences on the loss of Andrea. Praying for her  and your family. Andrea was such a lovely, caring person.  She lovingly served at mass as a Eucharistic Minister and in many other ways. She will be missed. 
Joan and James Carlson

My dear friend Jeanne... It hurts to breathe when I think of your love and steadfast  care you and Terry gave that sweet daughter. And then I think of her gentle ways and delightfully keen humour and I can't help but smile. What a blessing it has been to have her and your family in our lives. Jennifer and her family will be a nice soft place to fall during this next while. You are in good hands. Any time you want to chat and share memories I'm just a phone call away.
Oh! I just gotta meet this Stevie!
God has blessed you and may He continue with His peace.


I have so many amazing memories. But, the most special memory I have is the day we met Stevie at the cat cafe. That little guy wouldn't leave her alone. We both knew he was meant to be with her. She was the best mommy to Stevie, an amazing Auntie to Peaches and the bestest friend a girl could have. 
Rest well Kim. We will dance again one day! 

My sincere condolences to Mr and Mrs Cruickshank, Jennifer and her family and of course, Stevie. ❤️

I worked  with Andrea at the RAH. She was always positive and upbeat person. She always was able to cheer you up if you were having a bad day. She was always so helpful and so good to the patients . She was an amazing friend and coworker to have. I consider myself blessed to have had her as my friend and coworker. You will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. 

Andrea always went the extra mile to give quality time with myself as well as patients. I recall her gracious manner when I and a colleague showed up SO LATE to a party she was hosting (sorry, I gave such bad directions and neither of us had data 🤦🏻‍♀️). I was floored by everything she had prepared for the party. She even collected DVDs to donate to the hospital for our long term patients. I'll miss you, Andrea. The generosity and kindness you gave to us is something we all aspire to be. Rest in peace, my condolences to your family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear of Andrea's passing. We worked together at the Royal Alex and she will truly be missed by the many people blessed to have known and worked with her.

My deepest sympathy to Terry and family on the loss of Andrea. May you cherish all the wonderful times  and memories you had together. My thoughts are with you during this time.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrea at the Royal Alex Hospital. She was hard working and a kind, compassionate colleague.  I always loved talking about Downton abbey with her. My thoughts and condolences to Andrea's family at this difficult time. 

I worked with Andrea at the Royal Alex. She was a calm and caring person, and was a valued member of our Rehab team.  We will truly miss her.

Dearest Andrea,
Petal and I were truly blessed to have known you.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place no one will ever fill.
Rest in peace our dear friend, Kimberly (Kind) Andrea (Authentic) Cruickshank (Caring).

To the Cruickshanks,
From my family to yours, our deepest sympathy and prayers of love and strength during this time.


Words will seem meaningless so please know that I’m thinking of you constantly. You have my deepest sympathies. Sending you love and strength 💕💔💕💔💕

Andrea and I started working at RAH around the same time and quickly became good friends.  She was warm, caring and such a bright light.  After moving home to Ontario, Andrea continued to reach out to me often and I consider myself very lucky to have called her a friend.
Sending love to her family and friends during this difficult time. 
She will be missed dearly.

So very sorry to hear that Andrea has passed away.  She was one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  We thought the world of her and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with you all. 

You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God provide the Cruickshank's family  comfort and peace during this difficult time. Andrea's sweet memories will remain forever in our hearts. 

I had the privilege of working with Andrea.   What a positive and upbeat person to work with and to call a friend.   Always a smile on Andrea’s face; choosing to see light among the darkness.  She cared so much for other people, and always remembered to text me on my birthday!  What a treasure.  You are missed!

Our family’s prayers and thoughts are with Andrea and her loved ones. Truly an angel who will live in our hearts forever. 

So very sorry to hear of this sad news. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to you. You are in my thoughts.

My deepest condolences to the Cruickshank family. Andrea's kind and sweet spirit will never be forgotten and hold a special place in my heart. I'm forever grateful to have met a wonderful angel and forever hold dear all the wonderful memories we shared as friends.
