To our dear friend Andrienne,

A child of God and one of the kindest, loveliest, most selfless people we've ever met. You were brave, funny, creative, and compassionate. You never wanted to be a burden to anyone, yet you were always there for whoever needed it. 

We can't thank you enough for the love, friendship and support you gifted us and how you were so instrumental in helping us uplift the visually impaired community. You even wrote the skits for our annual plays. 

You have always served for the greater good. Thank you will never be enough. 

We miss you so much.
