"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.

Smile Train

Through losing Andrea, I've gotten to know another woman who lost a daughter about the same time Andrea died. We've emailed and texted back and forth and I got an email from her today with this message that I want to share.-

Hi... when we lost our little angel, we also lost a beautiful smile. A smile we wish we could see again. A smile we can only see in our minds. We knew we wanted to set up a memorial for our little girl.
One day over the funeral, we remembered a place that fixes children's smiles. Fixes cleft palates. The feeling was strong that we set up a memorial in honor of Lauren. In memory of beautiful smiles. So that other little children can smile too.
Thus the creation of this online fund with smile train.
You don't have to donate. It is entirely up to you. We have a goal for 13 smiles for 13 months. If you know of anyone who would like to donate, please pass this email on. The address is:
If for some reason you can't get on here, plese let us know.
Thank you in advance.
