“She handled the difficulties with grace, tenacity, and an unwavering love of life,” her husband concluded. She was a wonderful mother and wife. She was my KING. Cancer claimed Andrea’s life, but her spirit lived on. Everybody she touched still carries her energy around with them.
Even though my mother is no longer physically there, her love and spirit will always be with us, her daughter continued. I’ll use the teachings she gave me about love, kindness, and perseverance to help me get through the challenging trip ahead.
