Andrea

Today our friend Andrea lost her battle with breast cancer. 

She fought for 5 long years and was such an inspiration to SO many people. We first met the Lohrs when we started buying hay from their farm and we started going to their pumpkin patch, Andrea and I had a Bible study group together when Brinley was just born, we joined their Sunday School class when they were the teachers, our kids are close in age and have attended church events together, and they live nearby.

When Bristol was born Andrea signed up to bring us dinner and then called to say she wasn't feeling well that day and would we mind if she had pizza delivered instead. I tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted. That pretty much sums up Andrea's life- caring about other people in the midst of her own struggles. Heaven has just gained a beautiful angel! We are happy that Andrea is now free from the pain that she has been struggling with, but our hearts are breaking for her family during this sad time- especially her husband Matt and their two young children.
