Even in her last days, Andrea was strong, courageous and loving. I hope that, when my turn comes, I can face death as bravely and with as much dignity.
Andrea's memorial service was held today in Philadelphia. Her husband posted his eulogy on her blog. It concludes as follows;
"...Andrea turned this tragedy into a gift and gave it to all of us. Her spirit was so strong that sometimes it was hard to believe she was sick at all. Cancer may have killed her, but still did not defeat her as she lived and laughed and loved till the day she died."
You can read Andrea's obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer here.
