"We Love Andrea" was created to update Andrea's friends as she went through a difficult journey. After her second heart transplant when her pulse began to speed up she was given a pacemaker, then a Heart Mate II or LVAD. She was in the Stollery Children's Hospital, then the Mazankowski heart unit in Edmonton, Alberta for 7 months. However, she peacefully died on May 11, 2011 when the rest of her heart and other organs could handle the strain no longer. If you come to this blog, pray for her family and friends, remember to tell your friends you love them, then sign your organ donor card.

More Memories Needed

I hate to be a nag but here goes... We really need more memories of Andrea. I want to put together a book of memories for Maynards and I don't yet have enough. I do understand that it takes time, and, as most people say, they don't have any specific memories of her and she hasn't even been gone a month. That is totally okay. From talking with Maynard and Faye lately I have discovered that the little memories of her mean as much or more than the big ones, things like "This was something she liked" or "Once she said this" or "We had a joke about that". It's those little things that make up what we know of a person and I promise that nothing you send will be too trivial or silly! And if you want, I won't even post it on the blog, just send it to Maynards without lots of other people seeing it. For those of you who have forgotten, the address is memories.of.andrea@gmail.com and if you need something to jog your memory, read other people's memories. (Done nagging now!) Thanks and have a great Sunday!
