It's hard to find the right words to describe someone like Andi, especially with the shock of her suddenly being called home to be with our Lord. April 11, 2025... She was just… vibrant. Like a burst of unexpected color in a world that can sometimes feel too gray. That's the Andi I keep seeing. And Lonnie, man, he adored her. You could see it in the way he looked at her, the easy smile that would spread across his face whenever she walked into a room. They had that kind of love, the kind that felt solid and real, like it would just always be there. The thought of him without her is just heartbreaking. Thinking back to the day with the sky limits… wow, the things we got away with! Andi was always right there in the middle of it, a spark of mischief in her eyes and a grin that dared you to say no. Those wild and crazy days, the kind you look back on and just shake your head and laugh – Andi was such a huge part of all of that. Those memories are going to feel so different now, tinged with a sadness that wasn't there before. But beyond the laughter and the craziness, Andi was so much more. She was a deeply loved partner to Lonnie and a doting grandmother to her granddaughter. You could see how much joy those roles brought her. And for so many of us, she was just one hell of a friend. The kind of friend who had your back no matter what, who celebrated your triumphs like they were her own, and who knew exactly what to say (or not say) when you were going through a tough time. The silence her absence leaves behind is going to be deafening. The world feels a little dimmer without her bright spirit. Lonnie has lost his love, her daughters their mother, her granddaughter her grandmother, and we've all lost a truly special friend. Andi will be missed more than words can say.

A Cross is going to be placed at the site of the accident. For Andi and her memory. All are invited to attend and add a personal touch to the memorial. With supper to follow.
