Andrea Louise Burke Scholes
April 9, 1954 - October 29, 2005

"Andrea was in one of my first swap groups and she was always so very kind to me. Her art was so very special to me. To her family - i am sorry for your loss - please know that you are in my prayers."

"Lucky me to have had Andrea in my life even if it was through the occasional RAK postcard she would send from time to time. When I was a "newbie" in Carving Consortium she was generous and encouraging with her knowledge and experience and she was a "sister-artist" in the best sense of the word. My warmest wishes to her husband and family...may God comfort you. Her influence and spirit are still with us... until we meet again."

"I did not have the privilege of meeting Andrea in person, but through artistic avenues we were touched by each others' creations. She sent me results of her carved art many times in the mail and I'm so glad to have had her touch my life in this way. She will be sorely missed and now she soars with angels.Best regards,Amanda BrilesThe Paisley Orca"

"I was one of the lucky ones to get a hand-carved stamped postcard from Andrea. I will keep on my studio bulletin board for inspiration. I send my deepest sympathies and prayers!"

"My dear sweet lady..it brings me sadness to think such a wonderful warm person will be miss as you. You brought to this world a wonder of you many talents, I have been with you on your journey from Fairy Tale books and others, I shall always treasure your art in my books....Pualani"

"Dear Friends, I knew Andrea only through our RST mail list and have been a recipient of her beautiful handstamped cards. She was a true artist and the art and rubber stamp world has lost one of the best artists. My condolences to you all."

"I have just learned of Andrea's untimely passing and am shocked and saddened. I too know her only through Yahoo art groups, she lead the first art exchange I was ever in and she made it a fantastic experience. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family and friends."

"Dear Brian ~ and Family, So truely sorry to hear of Andi's passing. My mom, Brenda, just heard today and we are shocked and saddened. Although many years have gone by since we have seen you last, our heart felt thoughts are with you. Take Care, Our prayers are with you. ~Penny, Paula, and Brenda Mendes"

"Andrea, Fly and share your art with all souls now... a community even larger than all your art groups. Brian, Please know how much she touched so many lives in wonderful ways. Thanks for sharing her with us."

"Brian, Paul and David, Andrea and I took piano lessons from the same teachers when we were children - and at the time Andrea I think was also in Girl Scouts - they tried to get me to join, to no avail. We saw each other as were growing up in school or in town, as Portsmouth was not anymore a small community, and Burke's Bakery was well known to those of us who lived in Portsmouth. And then later on, Andrea met Brian. Brian, years later after you and Andrea were married, I met you when you and my step-father, Frank Brockway, worked together at Newport Hospital - will never forget you bringing him home in the Blizzard of '78 - thank you so much, Frank was such a great man. Paul - you and cousin Rick have been friends for years - I'm sure he shares my sorrow - David - we never really knew each other, but used to see you at Reidy's regularly on Saturday mornings. From the many, many condolences, it sounds like Andrea touched many people - she will be missed. To you, her family, and to the many people who never had the chance to meet Andrea in person - you missed a wonderful opportunity - but the internet is a wonderful thing and however Andrea touched you - you were fortunate."

"I knew Andrea only through RST, but her kindess, helpfulness, and sharing of art made me know her as a wonderful person."

"It is with heavy heart that I offer my condolences for your loss. I only knew Andrea through online groups but her artwork made the world a better place. Rest in glorious peace Andrea."

"Andi, The entire art community bids you farewell with a heavy heart. Go forward on wings of light... Becky"

"Dearest Brian and Family, Andrea?s Mother and my Mother are cousins and I am saddened that I did not know Andi as so many of you have expressed here now. Most of my memories are of fun and happy childhood family gatherings, particularly during the holidays, when I would wait in eager anticipation of visiting their childhood home to celebrate the season. Our beloved Aunt Ann and Uncle Norman and their 3 wonderful children, Andrea, Paul and David were always so wonderful to us and always so much fun to be with them during this joyous time of season. Over the years, Aunt Ann and I would write letters to keep in touch on how the family was doing ? and I treasure re-reading them as part of my own ritual each and every Christmas. In more recent years, we would look forward to visiting Andi and Brian during their holiday open house. My home is now filled with many beautiful artistic pieces created by their talented and loving hands. While our times spent together and ?chats? on the phone were few they were not without a great deal of love, awe and respect for the work that they did, the gifts that they shared and the love that was felt by all. I will truly miss you Andi. You will forever be in my heart."

"My deepest condolences to Andrea's family and friends. I only knew her through her artwork, but feel truly shocked to hear the news of her death. Love and strength to you all."

"I only knew Andrea through online art groups. She will be missed."

"We'll always remember her for the cheerful person she was. Brian, our thoughts and prayers are with you."

"Andrea will always be in my heart as a wonderful friend and artist. She created so much beauty in the world. The dawn yesterday seemed to stream upwards in a glorious river of color. My husband said, there goes Andrea! i will see her in the dawn forever. She will be sorely missed by the ones she leaves behind in body, but her spirit will live on and inspire us to follow her lead in walking the path with kindness, humor, and love. Blessings to you Brian and all who love her."

"I will always remember Andrea as a talented, generous, inspirational and caring artist. Although I had never personally met Andrea, over the many years she was a member of the RST family I always enjoyed her emails and her helpful nature. Nothing was ever a problem and Andrea was always there with an answer to any craft question. My heart goes out to Brian and other members of Andrea?s family as we have lost a truly shining light!"

"My sinceerest condolences to you and you family at your loss. I only knew Andrea from the Carving Consortium on line art group, but I can tell you that she will be sorely missed for her wonderful spirit and beautiful soul."

"I was shocked and saddened to hear that Andrea has died. What a loss to her family and close friends, but also to those of us who only knew her through online art groups and collaborations. My most recent collaboration with Andrea was her participation in a Peace themed carving challenge. As always, she did wonderful, evocative carvings... I feel it only fitting that one of these images be part of my memorial to her. Please come see her peace dove at http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~cjatkins/scholespeace.jpg and you will see what I mean with your own eyes. Those of you who are already well aware of her talents and skills have their own favorite examples as well. Rest in peace, Andrea; our hearts go out to Brian and the rest of your family. - Carla Cryptic"

"To Brian and those who knew and loved Andrea, My name is Kathy and I belong to one of the art lists that Andrea belonged to. I came to know her through her wonderful art. I wish to extend my deepest sympathies and I will keep you all in my prayers. K"

"I am so sorry for you loss. I never met your aunt, Jeff, but felt I knew her. You always spoke of her with such love and admiration. I know you will miss her. My heart aches for Brian, you and your family. May she be surrounded by love and beautiful colored windows."

"Andrea and I never met, but she touched my life through our connection to two online stamp carving groups. She was lovely, kind, and generous in her support and praise, and enthusiastic in her love of art and her love of flowers and their beauty. As the host of "The Language of Flowers" swap, she encouraged 50 artists with supportive private emails during our creative process and keep an ongoing online dialogue with the entire group. She compiled 50 lovely collections in which each of the 50 artists' flower images were displayed in protective covers and mailed them to each of us. The math is staggering. Not finished, she scanned each card to a web site for all to enjoy. Through this entire process she gave so much of herself, while maintaining a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss you, Andrea. My thoughts are with your family and friends."

"I first met Andrea a few years ago through an an Altered Book RR; I was still fairly new to the form, but I will never forget her warm words of encouragement and her generous soul. Thank you Andrea for all your help. I will miss you."

"I never knew Andrea personally, but came to know her through her wonderful art and encouraging manner. I wish to extend my sympathies and I will keep you in my thoughts."

"Andrea was such a sweet person. She touched our lives in a very pleasant way. She introduced us to so many wonderful people, including you Brian. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Brian. We know that Andrea is in a peaceful and wonderful place and that you and all of us will see her again."

"Dear Brian and Family, Jim and I are so very sorry and saddened to hear of your great loss. Andrea was a wonderful and kind friend and we will always remember her smile, and caring and warm ways. Our Sincere Sympathy, Jim & Jeanne Padilla"

"I shared many online art projects with Andrea, and she was my "Birthday Sister," since we had our B-Days on the same day. I am shocked and sad, and will miss this heartful and ta- lented spirit greatly. Yet, I know that she is still with us, and knows that we love her, even now. Fly Free, Dear Andrea!"

"Brain & family I am sorry to hear of your loss. Andrea and you were always good to me and my family when we were your tenants. May god grant her peace and may he grant you strenght in this sad time."

"Dear Brian and everyone whose lives Andrea touched with love. I was saddened to hear the news about Andrea. Although we never met in person, she has left an indelible mark in my life. Andrea was very encouraging and inspiring as I began making paste papers and delving into soft block carving. She was a big help in the area of my gaining confidence and stepping out to try a few swaps. I cherish the memories I have of Andrea. Vanessa"

"My heartfelt condolences to Andrea's family and friends. I had many email exchanges with Andrea, and I always enjoyed her sense of humor and her creative energy. She will leave a void with her passing."

"My message to Lady Andi...and to Bri,may the love of all for Andi bring you peace... Lady Andi: How silly for me to think that I may find comfort in this message to you...but I have no other venue to tell you just how great a loss I feel in your sudden passing. We spoke so often of just so many things that bring joy and happiness to others while saddness to far many more. We shared thoughts to create memorable works of art for speacial family and friends in my life. You are such a dear person...a wonderful caring friend to so many and I feel so blessed to have had you in my life. While short, your life has left behind a legacy...your whimsical, magical and beautiful works of art remain with many of us...a symbol and example of the beauty in you, your heart and your soul... You are missed now...you will be missed forever! It will be the beautiful items of art I have, those touched by your hands, designed with purpose and created with a mind filled with love, hope and happiness that will bring me solace. I will miss you forever my dear friend...may you rest in peace............ Love you...PB"

"To Andrea's dear husband and family and her 4 legged friends I offer my sympathy and condolances at your huge loss. I knew Andrea thru her art and I know how much she enjoyed that and I know she will be dearly missed. I hope that you will find comfort in her memory and thank you for sharing her with the art world she so loved! Linda Koch"

"I always enjoyed reading what Andrea contributed to the lists. She will be very much missed, but remembered and loved for what she contributed."

"Thank you Brian, for sharing Andrea. As a talent she will be sorely missed. My mentor, dear friend, sanity saver, she was a rock. I can't believe her time on earth is finished. Be strong Brian."

"Andi, Everytime I came to visit your gorgeous state you've opened your home to me, and I thank you.Our yearly pilgrimage to Venus for lobster won't be the same without you. I'll miss your kindness,creativity and most of all your wit."

"Andi.... I will never forget the generousity you extended to me when we first met online. I still treasure the "jewels" you shared with me. Blessings to you and may you find peace in the hereafter. Love jenifer"

"Andrea, you were taken way too soon and will be terribly missed by all who have been even slightly touched by your shining star as I was touched."

"I have only know Andrea through the internet and have participated in many round robins and swaps with her. She was truly a gifted and generous person and the online art community will miss her very much. I am so very sorry for the loss of such a wnderful person. Sincerely, Lee Barker"

"Brian we are so sorry to hear about Andy. Please except our sympathy. She will be missed by everyone. So Sorry Johnny and Moe."

"Our condolences to you and your family"

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. We are very fortunate to have known Andy and to have also acquired several of her stained glass creations. She was a wonderful and talented woman. With deepest smypathy, Anne & Al Fillion Tracey Scholes' mother and father"

"My condolences to all of Andrea's family and friends. I knew her from collaborative art projects organized over the Internet and from online art groups we belonged to. From her lovely work, I received the impression of a sensitive and beautiful soul. Though we never met in person, I will miss her."

"I met Andrea online through the soft block carving group and was fortunate to have participated in art swaps with her over the past few years. Andrea was always generous with her compliments. I will miss her inspiration and kind spirit."

"I feel confident speaking on behalf of my family in saying that Aunt Andi was the kindest, warmest, loving, most nurturing person we could have hoped to have had in our lives. Aunt Andi and Uncle Brian were like surrogate parents to me and my siblings Dawn, Jim, Susan and Jessica. Since we were born, Andi always had a way of finding the innermost skills, interests, and emotions deep down in each of us and had an uncanny way of drawing them out and making them shine. It is a sad loss for us that hurts deeply. Aunt Andi, I love you so much and will never, ever forget you or the impact you have had on my life. You will stay with me forever. Jeff"

"Dear Brian, I just read 'on line' about Andi's death. I'm so very sorry to hear that. It's been many years since we've heard from each other but I still remember you. I'm Tia Mary's daughter Ruthie and now live near Niagara Falls in Western NY. Please take care of yourself, I know your loss is great and no words can really express it, but remember there are people who love and pray for you at this time. Love, Ruthie Pacheco Stringer"

"Brian I know words are little comfort in your time of loss but you and your family are in our prayers....Your cousin Mike Soares and His wife Kimberly"

"While I never had the opportunity to meet Andrea in person, she touched my life many times, in many ways through our exchanges of art and through e-mail. We were members together in printmakers groups as well as art doll groups. Andrea has been a profound influence on artists in so many mediums. She was always the first one there with a word of support or encouragement for me as well as so many others. She's very tenderly remembered and missed. I will forever treasure the art she so freely shared over the years."

"Andrea was a talented soul who's wit and beauty will be sadly missed by all those whose lives she touched. Our prayers and thoughts go out to her many friends and family at this time. Sincerely, Mrs. Hackman"

"Although I never met Andrea in person, I did recieve her artwork through swaps that she hosted in an online carvers group. Her giving personality, artful talent and kindred spirit will live on through her work. Blessings, Laura Taylor Mark"

"Andrea was a long-stand member of the Carving Consortium, a group of artsists that I founded. We shared our expertise and our art. The most important part, I think, is how we touched each others lives. She will be missed -- her art will continue to be treasured."

"I was stunned to hear of Andrea's passing. I wondererd why she had been so very quiet in the group she was a part of online. I had no idea she was ill. Such a lovely, caring, smart, talented, efficient, stable and kind person. Life is fleeting, but her legacy will remain and she will be missed."

"Andi was one of the sweetest,kindest, persons we ever met. Her "Hey,how are you?" will be sorely missed. Love Pauline and Butch xxx"

"Sometimes emails sneak up on you with very unwelcome news. It is still hard to imagine the loss of Andrea. I knew her through the Carving Consortium and Erasercuts groups and always found Andrea to be supportive, creative on so many levels, and just so sweet, with a sense of humor. She knew that I had once lived nearby and would share impressions of the seasons, of the wildflowers, of the turbulent ocean in storms. She shared her knowledge of art, always helpful when a problem came up. She sympathized with my attempts to organize all the supplies and ephemera that artists collect, and admitted to being challenged that way herself! She counted herself fortunate to be married to a man who shared and understood her passions. She was on this earth for much too short a time, but we were blesssed to have known her, and for that I am deeply grateful. I will treasure her art that she shared over the years."

"I was so saddened to hear of Andrea's passing. I have known her through online groups for several years now, and her artistry, kindness, warmth, and sincerity will be truly missed. She was a wonderful person. My sincere condolences to her family and friends."

"I was terribly saddened to hear of Andrea's passing this morning and can still scarcely believe it. Although we never met in person we were Net friends and I will always remember her warmth and generous spirit. Her encouragement and friendliness were legendary and I will always treasure the art work that she shared in the many exchanges we participated in. Andrea, your life and your work will continue to inspire. Thank you for being my friend."

"Over the last 5-6 years I got to "know" Andrea through her art swaps and her informative, supportive e-mail messages at the Carving Consortium/Eraser Cuts e-groups. I am so shocked and sorry to learn of her death. She was so talented, and so giving. She never failed to send me encouraging words when I was stressing about life getting in the way of art. My thoughts and prayers are with you all."

"Brian -- Words cannot express how so very sorry I am to hear of Andi's passing. She was dearly loved by many and will be sorely missed. Her kind spirit and generous soul will forever be with us. With deepest sympathy, Denise & family Paulette's sister"

"I was stunned and greatly saddened to hear of Andrea's passing. While some may belittle the connections people make online, I can truly say that Andrea had a great impact on my life even though I never had the honor of meeting her in person. I will treasure the handmade mementoes I have from her."

"To lose such a grand, warm and creative soul from this world seems so wrong.... The world is less this week. I cherish my connection with Andrea inour joint art projects...and sadness that our plan to play together in person is not to be. I am honored to have her art as part of my life. Warmth to you, Brian...and the rest of your family who will sorely miss her. Gabe"

"Although we never met, I knew Andrea online through our many swaps and exchanges at the Carving Consortium and Erasercuts. She was a frequent "player" in our exchanges of First Day Covers.Her contributions were always wonderful and her support and encouragement was truly valued. My condolences to Brian and her family. This is a terrible loss."

"I'll always think of Andrea as a sharing, caring and generous artist and woman. She added only sunlight to a wet, snowy weekend we shared together in Fall River and made me all the more miss New England. My heartfelt condolences to the family."

"Andrea and I were in a round robin together a few years ago. She was a creative artist and beautiful person as she sent messages to those of us in the group. She made me, a novice in the type of thing we were doing, feel welcome and worthwhile. She is a lovely soul... I treasure the memories of knowing her online."

"Andrea entered my life about 5 years ago, she shared the love of "art" by being an online mentor~friend, I never met her in person, but I felt a part of her life by way of her sharing little parts of her life with me. We shared our love of cats when she would send emails with photo's of her cats, along with photo's of the strays who would find their way to her stoop. At one point I remember that she sent photo's of a friend's flower garden in England, I loved the colors & the fact that she shared these with me. Brian I remember to when she told you that she was gathering up some goodies to send my way, you said you were happy to see her share some of her stash. Please know that my heart aches & that I shed tears knowing that life will never be the same without her, but always remember she is always with us, all we need to do is reach within our own hearts & she will be there with a warm hug & smile. Sincerely Jody"

"I have known Andrea only as an online presence in my life for the past eight years. I am a fellow eraser carver and my acquaintance with Andrea came from our exchange of artwork in the mail, and advice, information and encouragement through the Carving Consortium and the Erasercuts Group. Andrea was friendly, witty, generous and a great talent. Her work is among my most prized of possessions; she was ingenious and innovative and will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to her family and friends who may have known her better and more personally, but were not any more familar with her spirit. Sincerely, Janice Bryant, known to Andrea as Rabbit"

"My heart was so heavy this morning as I read of Andrea's passing. We were in many carving swaps together. I will truly miss her many, many ideas and art that she shared so liberally with all of us. My heart goes out to her husband and family. dot mcquade"

"David and Paul and Brian, Sorry to hear of your Loss. God Bless you are all in our Prayers."

"What a talented generous hearted artist Andrea was. I never met her and talked to her in person but, by email and by sharing artistic endeavors and insights, she made a difference in my life. May you, her loved ones, know she was truly appreciated by me and many others in this world."

"I, like many others here, knew Andrea through her art which enriched my life greatly. I am so glad I have saved the swaps that we participated in. My condolences to her family."

"Andrea was a "virtual" friend. I'm very thankful she had such a nuturing soul. I discovered many wonderful things about my abilities because of her encouragement. My heart goes out to all who loved her. Louella"

"My deepest sympathies to Andrea's family and friends. I, too, knew her though the online art groups, Carving Consortium and Eraser Cuts. I greatly enjoyed the art she created and the artistic soul she shared with all. She will be missed. Maimun"

"Andrea will be greatly missed by all her online friends at Rubber Stamping Together RST e-mail list. Some of the members had the great pleasure of meeting her, unfortunately I was not one of them but I will always remember her quick wit and the wonderful rubber stamped cards she sent me which I will treasure forever. Andrea is probably up in heaven giving lessons in art and looking down and saying "lets see what my friends are up to""

"So sorry to lose such a talented artist so young in her life."

"Brian and family of Andrea: You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I am one of Andrea's many internet friends. May God bless you and watch over you."

"I first met Andi in 1984, working at Transcom! There are so many wonderful memories that I will always remember. I especially enjoyed the times that we got together for dinner at her home, and mine, and other friend's as well clamboils were one of our favorite meals!. There was always laughter and friendship at those gatherings. When Andi opened her stained glass studio I was really excited for her. The 2 stained glass clocks that she made for me still hang on the walls in my home. She also made a stained glass cross that still hangs in the window of our Parish Center. The light that shines through it is the hope that Andi is bathed in the warmth and comfort of eternal light. I am also comforted that a part of Andi will always be with me. I am sorry that I hadn't kept in touch with Andi and Brian these past years. You will always be in my prayers! God bless you Andi."

"It has been a privelage and an honor to have known a wonderful person like Andi. She was always so happy and laughing, she'll be deeply missed. Brian and the rest of the family our hearts go out to you."

"I also met Andrea online through a list of rubberstamping artists RST and over the years have received many of her wonderful pieces of rubberstamping and paper arts. She was such a talented and giving person and I am so honored to have known her. My condolences to Brian and all of her family. For Andrea.......Create, Dream, Inspire forever!"

"I meet Andrea a few years ago on the internet. We were both members of a Art Based Yahoo group. We collaborated in many group art projects. I was fortunate to meet Andrea, Brian her husband, and their cats. She has been a great friend, and helped me get started in Stained Glass. Andrea was such a warm person, with a heart of gold. I'm going to miss her so much. She left us way too soon, but I know she is in Heaven, continuing with her artistic endeavors. My sincere sympathy goes out to Brian, & family, as well as to her extended family. I miss you Andrea!"

"Andrea touched my life through the Internet rubber stamping group, RST. She was a talented artist and Internet friend. Andrea was so giving with her time and talent. She frequently hosted many projects in our Internet group. I will miss her. My condolences to her husband and family."

"Words can't express my feelings for the loss of our loved one Andrea. Andrea was one of the first artists I met on RST, an online rubberstamping group, over 7 years ago. She never missed a call for help in the aid of art ideas or a card or an e-mail to me when it was a birthday or illness or death in my family. She was a wonderful online friend and such a talented generous and caring person. I was blessed to have known her. Truly Andrea will be missed dearly. My love, heart and prayers go out to Andrea's family and friends. God Bless you all. Hugs, Joellen from Illinois"

"You are missed, your art was wonderful and the love for cats amazing. Thank you for what you gave to the RST list."

"You will so missed! Your creativity will be appreciated in heaven, it will surely be a more beautiful place with you there!"

"I never met Andrea personally, but though her art, I knew her well. I received many lovely cards from her over the years as a RST member, and believe me this very talented woman will be missed terribly."

"Andrea was the most wonderful generous precious person that I know. I have been touched by her presense and she will leave a lasting mark on my life. She got me to do things I would never have tried on my own. There are no real words that I can use that express the sadness in my heart that she is gone. She was the closest person to a soulmate that I have ever known at the moment I still feel lost. Goodbye Andi, godbless, I bet heaven will be an even better place to end up now that you are there. God bless"

"It was my pleasure to know Andrea through the RST stamping group. Andrea was a wonderful person and so very talented and always thinking of others. My deepest sympathy to you Brian and the family members. God Bless You."

"I am also a member of the stamping list that will miss Andrea so much. I can only repeat what so many have said about her talent and kindness to each and every member. She helped me through a hard time in my life and I have many of her cards to enjoy now and forever. My sympathy to Brian and her brothers. Betsy Peters"

"Andrea, you will be missed be me as well as by the many friends you have made throughout the world with your talent and your friendliness. I'm honored to have met you through the RST list. Your friend in crafts and in God, Carlotta"

"Andrea was a member of an online rubberstamping list that I belong to and we swapped many cards. I know Andrea was always quick to respond to special card requests and birthdays. She had such artistic talents and will be greatly missed by our whole list. My sincere sympathies are with her family."

"We are heartbroken that our dear friend, Andi, has passed away. We are blessed with having had Andi as our friend for so many years. Her art and talent adorn the walls of our home, her laughter and memories of our many fun times in the "game room" in our hearts, always. We will miss you."

"Andrea's love of art will live on in the hearts of all of those who knew her. I believe her beautiful soul is creating art in a peaceful plane now. Much love and peace to her family."

"Andrea was there for me when I had my car accident, she would send cards to me while I was in the hospital I lost count of the number of cards she sent. Once I was home from the hospital she would email me to cheer me up, She knew that I was not happy being confined to the wheelchair..She will be greatly missed, she was a lovely person."

"Andrea was a wonderful friend, a talented artist and a generous teacher. I met her through an internet rubber stamping group but got a chance to meet Andrea and Brian when she invited me to come stay at her house to learn to make silver clay jewelry. I'm so glad I have that memory. One of our internet friends said this morning that Andrea is probably teaching the angels to stamp this very minute. Love and prayers to her family and close friends, Judi Kauffman"

"To the Scholes and Burke families: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one, Andrea. I am sure she is resting peacefully in heaven. God Bless Andrea."

"I had the privilege to know Andrea through her involvement with our group of rubber stamp artists. She was always one with an extra suggestion, bit of help or when needed, a loving shoulder to lend. To Brian and all the family, please accept my heartfelt sympathy. May God Bless you all."

"Andrea was a shining light in our rubber stamping artists group. Whenever her name appeared in a message, I knew we were receiving creative, helpful ideas, generously shared by Andrea. Her own creative works are exquisite. We are going to miss Andrea dearly."
