Andrea was a beautiful person, inside and out, and this obituary perfectly captures her essence. She was such a lovely person to be around and I always left our conversations feeling good. She positively impacted everyone she met and will be missed by many. I’m not Jewish but they have a beautiful saying: May her Memory Be a Blessing.
My condolences to Roger and the family. I’m a past schoolmate of Andrea’s and I was lucky enough to get to know her a bit again at our Avalon/Ainlay reunion which happened at Boston pizza 2 Christmases ago and continued online until the very end. I hadn’t spoken to Andrea for years but had a gateway conversation with her at the reunion and continued our friendship across the airwaves of the internet along with many former classmates. When I was talking to her I remember her eyes lighting up when she spoke about her kids and she was genuinely interested in my stories of my family. Over the next months I really got to know her again and was lucky enough to be part of her “light” that she shared with everyone she knew. She will be missed by our group. I know she will be missed by her loving family. God bless you, Andrea.
My deepest condolences to Roger, Ty and Isabelle.
Andrea was an amazing strong, positive woman. She will never be forgotten.
