Among Friends

[tends2dogs]

If these posts are being passed along to her family, I would like them to know that their wife and mother will be missed by all that read her thread.  She started something fun on here that many came to check on daily even if they didn't post.   

She will be greatly missed by us.  Our deepest condolences to the family.

@ECBG ,    I don't recall ever posting on "Outfit of the Day".   But I enjoyed the photos and posts.   I can see Andrea's photos in my mind's eye.  So sad.. and at such a young age.    I'm sure she will be missed.

Terrible news.  I m so very sorry.  I had no idea she was ill.  What a warm, wonderful person she seemed to be, as I only knew her from her posts on fashion.  She was an amazing light, and often so helpful.  Prayers to all who loved and knew her.

So sorry and sad to hear this news. Seems like it happened very fast -  I didn't realize she was so sick.  I didn't *know* her, but I liked reading her posts and following the links to the music she shared  She was a big part of this board.  I'll miss her posts  

Rest in Peace.  

Condolences to her family.

Andrea had spoken in her posts about losing weight, then losing more weight.  She found out when she finally went to the doctor, agreed to some treatment but wouldn't have someone come to the home and do chemo.

I just let her talk and didn't try to intrude.  

Thank you for your message.

I feel stunned.   @ECBG this makes me aware of how much of Andrea's personality and soul she shared through her posts so that we here are so impacted by her passing.  I remember my first reaction to her Outfit of the Day thread was "wow she has more courage than I do!".   Thank you for keeping us aware of Andrea's status along the way.  That helped us keep her in our thoughts and prayers and personally reminded me of how much I missed her posts.  I too will miss Andrea.

@ECBG :  When I saw the heading of your post, I was so hesitant to open since I wondered if this was what you were going to post.  I remember when she started the "outfit of the day" and wondered if it would keep up, but it did.  You mentioned that you talked to her and someone asked how she was doing, and you replied that was her story, I was afraid it was sad news for her health.  Rest in peace dear lady..........you will be missed on these boards.

ECBG:

Thank you for being a wonderful friend to Andrea, especially during her illness. 

I'm sure she greatly appreciated your calls and your support.

I'm very heartbroken.  May Andrea rest in comforting peace.

We will always remember dear Andrea.  She will be in our hearts forever.

@ECBG Thanks for the additional info.  I do remember her weight loss, but I didn't connect it with anything serious.  Sorry it turned out that way.  You were a good friend, being there to listen.  She had some big things happening and big decisions to make which she had to decide for herself (w/her family). 

She obviously made a big impact on this board! I said before that I always loved to see what musical link she would post.  This is something she posted - I loved it!  Never heard of him before.  Thank you Andrea.

Tears...I've been on this board for some time and I always appreciated her outfit of the day.  Happy and lovin' fashion...I feel like I've lost a friend.  My heart is with her family and friends. Please let her husband know that she was loved on this board. Be at peace dear Andrea.

@ECBG ...thank you for keeping us up to. date.  We knew that she had a serious decision to make and she was losing weight.  This was her path and I would have made the same decision.  I know you must be devastated, my heart is with you also during this difficult time.
