Andrea Watman was her name....
What a sad loss we have encountered, she passed on Tuesday June 14, 2011 due to complications from a fall 3 months ago. The funeral was Thursday the 16th which I attended.
Genuinely the nicest and most generous person I have ever met. Here's a story that I can remember her kindness by; Summer 2009, I was at her desk trading some stories about baseball and how I would love to make it out the the newly opened Citi Field in Queens. I left didn't think much more into the discussion, I head back to my post and start work. Moments later Andrea summons me to pick up the phone, I answer... she says to me "look over at your printer". On the printer was two tickets printed for the Mets game. WOW! What a surprise! I had this crazy Kool-Aid smile on my face people was wondering what was going on with me.
Well there are numerous other stories like this of Andy that I can speak of but I just want to leave you a taste of what kind of a person she was. Oh Boy, she will surely be missed but never forgotten.
I just did a Google search for my god mother, Andi. My Aunt Andi, whom you are referring to.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for saying those beautiful things.
What you wrote is nothing shy of who Andi was.
She was undoubtedly the most influential person in my life, as well as many others. I feel honored to have her love and support from the day I arrived in our family. And even before.
And boy, do I miss her everyday. Everyday.
I keep many reminders of her personal love of pigs, and incredible enthusiasm about life around me. Her best friend, my mother, even tells me she can hear her laugh when I do.
I just wanted to say thank you for the nice things you said.
