My Friend Andrea




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.
