Good Morning All! I keep breaking down crying, my heart is bleeding for Andrea's mom. I had a strong urge to go to her house and just give her a hug. I cannot imagine the pain she is feeling. I only met Andrea this past Jan but my daughter met her last year. I instantly liked her and her spirit. She had that personality that was straight up and forthcoming. She seemed so geniune. I told Tanaesha that I really liked her the moment I met her. Tanaesha felt she was the only person she could confide in at her school. She was able to talk to her about things she couldnt with other friends. She always knew her advice and response would be honest and truthful. They were getting closer. Yesterday when I got in my car, I could still picture her in my backseat laughing and dancing to the radio with my daughters. Still being a teenager dispite her health issues. Even with her absense at school, as soon as she could she would come back to school and go back to work with my daughter. I remember one time she had surgery one day and came back to school the next. I saw strength in her. I knew about her health issues through my daughter but never spoke of them with her. My daughter told me this morning that she had just turned 17 June 2nd. And telling me the plans they had for the summer and plans to do eachothers hair. I am taking comfort that she is no longer in pain and she is watching over from above...Yesterday after work I went straight to my daughter and gave her a hug. Hoping that this will make her realize that life is way to short and to enjoy every second of her life because 2morrow is never promised...I felt compelled to write this last night with Andrea's mother in mind....
Forever Young
Dedicated to Andrea Arnold
Our Heavenly father needed His angel
We can search for reasons from every angle
And still never understand
His ultimate plan
Take comfort that she can no longer feel pain
Eventhough your life will never again be the same
Cherish the memories that will never fade
Find that strength that she always displayed
I will always remember her smile
Although I have only known her a short while
She was one of my daughters best friends
The person she could confide and depend
I saw a beautiful soul
Mother to mother; I wish I had the words to console
Always remember the laughter and the fun
In our hearts she is forever young

Beautiful tribute! I'm sure she is smiling frm heaven right now.
Death's snatch can be really painful but like you said, God needed his angel. She is better off in heaven where she is. May her soul enjoy heaven as you, your daughter and her family overcome the pain her departure has caused. Be strong J...Cheers.

words cannot express pain when one loses a friend. and we may not understand why on this side of eternity. I just wanted to tell you that was a beautiful tribute and i pray for her family to find peace in this time.
Heartbreaking - There are never any words that can fill the void, we can only pray for peace and understanding to help heal the sorrow.
