Andi, thank you for all you have done for St. John’s and the RE program that my children have been a part for years. It has been a pleasure to watch them grow in their faith. Our family has been so happy there thanks to you and others like you who are committed to serving. I continue to pray for you and your family. Rest now and know that your work will continue to be fruitful for years to come. God bless you 📿 ✝️ 🙏

I heard about the backyard Rosary! How beautiful and perfect for you Andi! You have always been a blessing to St John's and especially RE. Jesus loves you. Take comfort in his love. Hugs from Lori and John
Andi,
Your in my thoughts and prayers. You are truly a light that shines for Jesus,
and you taught everyone, to let our little lights shine
for Jesus!
May our Heavenly Mother comfort you and the good Lord strengthen you with is love and peace... ❤️❤️🙏 🔥
Thinking of you constantly Andi and praying for your strength and comfort. I hope you are surrounded by your family and especially your precious children and grandchildren, and are laughing and sharing and making special memories to hold both in your heart and in theirs. There are so many countless ways that you have touched the lives of others - a thank you is just not enough. Just like at the craft sale last year when I needed help with the lunch and bake sale. You were there to jump in and ended up spending most of the day helping. You and Jan saved me!!! Thank you Andi!
Andi, you will remain in my constant prayers and I wish you peace in the days ahead. May our Heavenly Father wrap his loving arms around you and give you peace. Blessings to you and your family Andi.
Dear old friend,
The news about hospice has greatly saddened me. Reliving memories of mission trips, Quest retreats, VBS in Mississippi, and just visiting your office when you probably had better things to do has been bittersweet. You used to tell people that I had the patience of Job, which always made me chuckle a little. Were it not for a letter of recommendation that you wrote for me, I don't believe I would have chosen the path of middle school teacher, which was the perfect fit actually. Life has a funny way of landing you right where you're supposed to be sometimes. Thank you for helping to shape my life and that of so many of my peers in youth group. You have been a positive influence on so many young people over the years.
I often wonder if any suffering at the end of life is merely a way to purify us. St. John Paul the Great always comes to mind as a great example of enduring trials with great faith. I pray any suffering may be lifted from you and that your family finds peace in any grief they may have.
Godspeed.
Andi, I am so very sad to hear this latest news. I will continue to pray every day for strength and comfort for you, Jerry and your beautiful family.
God's peace to you all.
Oh Andi, I'm so sorry you're going through this at all. The kids and I will always embrace our memories from the mission trips to Mississippi. You rocked it there, the joy you bring to there along with St.John's is amazing. You touch peoples hearts more than you'll ever know. Many hugs and prayers going to you and your family.
Andi,
I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I also want you to know that I will be forever grateful to you and your support and guidance after you signed me up to teach RE. My faith journey grew immensely from that experience and watching you share your love of our gracious God taught me so much. Truly you inspired me and changed me. As the song “Well done” was played last night at the Rosary service, I found so much comfort because Andi dear, you have been such an amazing disciple & teacher! There is no doubt you will hear “well done” and be rewarded. Your work will continue. Many thanks and peace. Laura
Dear Andi, I have had three children go through the religious ed program at St.John's and have attended many programs and meetings where your kind and reassuring presence and enthusiasm as the leader of the program have been so evident and welcomed. You are such a gift to our parish helping so many and encouraging others to be involved. You and your family are in my prayers and the beautiful prayer service that many attended last night is a tribute to your strong faith and your life of service and love of Christ that you show us. Thank you
