What a life to celebrate! A woman who truly taught us all how to live to the fullest, and to face our uncertainties with courage and grace. Pray for all of you and think of you daily!

I am far away but got a Pink nautical star in her honor even though I didnt know her. I think of a stranger daily makes me remember there is good in the world.

I too, have had Andrea and the family in my thoughts as the anniversary of the first year approaches. I hope you all know that you are kept in the prayers and thoughts of so many of us- She really did give us the gift of thinking about the important things more- I will be on vacation during the beginning of July-but wanted to express my gratitude, and love to the family and those wonderful friends who helped Andrea and have maintained the site….We should all be as lucky to know such love and devotion!
With so many Blessings-
Michelle

Last year I was on vacation with my family when I logged onto the punkrockmommy site to see how Andrea was doing, I had to reread her last post as it took my breath away the first time I read it. I thought I read it wrong. I can still hear her voice. I can still remember the feelings and emotions of one of our late night conversations. I remember us crying together when we talked about our children, husbands and our experiences with IBC and stage IV cancer. I think of her and each of you often.
I pray that each of you is doing well. Your lives have touched so many individuals. I will never forget how each of you shared your lives with us and I will never forget Andrea. Thank you to each of you and may God bless you all!!! With much love, alaina
