Andrea, I miss you. Even though I knew you for such a short time. You opened up your heart, and we became fast friends. You shared so many stories, that I felt like I was a part of them. I envision you sitting at Jesus’ feet listening to all the glorious stories. You were beautiful inside and out. One day soon we’ll all be together again, and we will sing God’s precious praises in unison forever. I can’t wait for that day comes where we can meet again. Until then, rest peacefully.
