I met Deandrea while attending UW-Madison. She was a dear sister in Christ, and someone that I enjoyed going to lunch with and sharing laughs with. I remember her smile, her congenial spirit, and her loving attitude. I did not keep in touch with Deandrea after college - I'm really not sure why - but I never forgot the times we prayed together and encouraged one another throughout our years in school. What a blessing she was to me.
I was so saddened to hear that she had passed away, but what a blessing to know that her salvation was sure, and she is now with the Lord Jesus Christ. I am reminded how precious life is - and how important it is to treat people respectfully and lovingly as Deandrea did. How touched I was by her life, and now by her death - that I myself will all the more fervently be prayerful and live out God's Will each day...pressing to live each day to the fullest.
May God bless and comfort her family - and may her life be a testimony for all of us to have and strengthen our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.##imported-begin##Christina Gay##imported-end##
