Hi everyone, it's been a long while since I have been on here (mostly because we don't have any trips planned). I am still sewing - mostly for my son and some for myself.
Unfortunately the reason I am posting today is a very sad one. I want to let you know that one of our dear sisters, Andrea (VBAndrea) passed away yesterday from multiple strokes (likely complications due to brain cancer). She was diagnosed with a non-treatable form of brain cancer just over a year ago. She and her family have faced the diagnosis and treatment with strength, grace, and dignity. When she passed, her husband and her sister were by her side.
Andrea made a lot of positive differences in our group - she always volunteered for Big Gives, offered hugs and support whenever needed, and provided advice when asked. She made the most beautiful patchwork twirls and appliques "by hand." She will not be forgotten by those who loved her (even though a lot of us have never met her in person). All we know is that she is now in heaven, free from pain and suffering, and waiting for us to join her one day.
I would like to ask you to pray for Andrea's husband, her 2 children, her sister, and her mother during this difficult time. Thanks!
