Sandy (Sauve) Benoit Although I've only met Andrea a few times, through her BFF, my sister Sylvie, I feel compelled to say what a great woman she was.... full of life and a wonderful spirit. She is one of these few individuals whom you meet once and you feel an attraction, a kinship, which you can't quite describe. Andrea and I shared a passion for gardening and flowers. I have planted a beautiful bright yellow Fall mum in my front garden in her memory. My thoughts are with you Doug... from all accounts, truly one of the good guys! How lucky you both are to have been in each other's lives for so many years.

Because Andrea so loved flowers . . . she even brought them to add a special touch to the picnic table when we went camping together . . . and there was that time that she excitedly recalled a canoe trip she & Doug had taken down part of the Rideau. Were there always flowers in the lock station washrooms? she had wondered. Or had Doug arranged this simple-but-special something just for her? Our hearts are aching for Doug, Freya, Ashley, Jessica and the family.

So shocked to hear this news. I met Andrea through my visits to Rosebridge Manor whilst our two mothers resided there, We were daily visitors and ran into each other regularly. She knew my mum already and I instantly liked her, she was easy to talk to and quite funny at times, serving to lift the spirits of those around her.. She helped me (and my sister) in settling our own mother into the nursing home and so admired her dedication to her mum, tending to her every need as it arose. She always took the time to pop in on my mother too , even embracing a dance or two with her! Andreas' big heart, was extended to our family when our dear mum passed away,, She cared for us enough to attend the funeral and visit with us later. She was very comforting. She certainly was a blessing to us for the time we knew her and I'm so very sad for you all having to deal with such a huge loss.. My thoughts and prayers will be with you at this awful time. I believe she has left a wonderful legacy to be proud of, a really sweet and caring lady that loved her family dearly. Her memory will live on in your heart forever.and I wish all of you the comfort that she gave to my family when we needed it. Rest in peace Andrea.
