I remember when i was in junior high and high school Miss Andrea would do my hair, we would sit for hours and talk, she was so funny and nice to me and gave me so many good words of advice, I would see her from time to time and she would always give me a big hug and kiss, she was such a sweet lady and had a huge heart! I will miss you Andrea you light up so many peoples lives!!! I am so sad to hear that she is already gone, i will never forget her!!!
Love,
Amy Mitchell & Family
I am very sorry for your families lost. Andra was my Great Grandma, my Mom, and my hairstyles for many many years. We adopted her into our family and always enjoyed being in her presences. She was like a crazy funny Aunt, who always had a smile on her face and some wild story to share. She will be missed greatly by myself and my family! Rest in Peace Andra! I love you!
Love Always,
Teresa
Joan, Arnold , and family I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Daughter, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and may God comfort you at this difficult time. I am the youngest Daughter of L.G. and Juanita Queen I have been gone from Washington for 39 years and have resided in Liberty SC for 38 years, but I remember Tawny and Andra well as little girls playing and riding their tricycles, as I spent a lot of time at Carolyn and Woodrow Young’s home, your next door neighbor. Even though I have been gone for a long time I still have fond memories of all the good times I had in Washington State, and will never forget my cousins like Carolyn and all my wonderful friends. I will certainly keep you in my prayers in the days to come.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss,I just loved her so much, she was a kick in the pants. Always good natured,always welcomed you into her home and you always left with a plant. The last one she gave me was a weeping willow tree,this tree (named Andra,yes I name my plants after the giver),will remind me of her forever,I planted it in my backyard.She will be well taken care of, so feel a bit of comfort knowing that. My thoughts are with you.

This is so sad! I sat at my computer and cried when I read her obituary. I used to babysit Andra! I did get to see her a few years ago when I was in the area and had her do my hair. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with her grieving family. May you find that God does give a peace that passes our understanding.
Lovingly,
