Dear Mrs Koury and family,
I was so saddened by the news of Andrea´s passing. I will always have great memories of Andrea and I as kids playing on our street, or over each others houses. She made it so easy to be my friend when I moved in across the street. I continue to pray for you in this difficult time.
