Hello, my name is Jody Parker, just one of the many cousins and loved ones of Andrea. If you were blessed in this life by knowing Andrea than you know how she loved with her whole heart. Andrea will forever be one of the strongest people I have ever known. She and Phillip have walked a journey that very few people would ever be able to understand. Andrea was a daughter, a sister, a wife but the title she was most know by was mom. Andrea was a cancer mom, a heart mom, but most importantly, she was a mom who loved and adored her children and family. Andrea and Phillip experienced the loss of their first son Ryan to an inoperable brain tumor when he was only five years old. Andrea and Phillip were blessed with two other children, Elizabeth and Lucas, who were the light in their mothers' eyes. Elizabeth and Lucas were both diagnosed with the same congenital heart condition their mom had. Lucas underwent a lifesaving heart transplant in 2018. Through all these trials, Andrea and Phillip stood strong.  As things started to look up the whole family had a battle with covid. On November 1, 2021, Andrea was hospitalized as she was in heart failure and remained in the hospital/rehab facility until she gained her angel wings on January 1, 2022. So today, we ask that in celebration of her life and her fierce love for her family, you help us to help the family with her final expenses. The family has taken this task on themselves as she was not eligible for life insurance, and we would like to help lessen that load on Phillip and the children as they go through these days to come without this beautiful ray of light. Thank you all for the love and support you have shown them throughout all of this and the days to come.
