Mr. Rastle, I am sadden to hear about the death of your daugther. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of bereavement. I pray that God will give you peace and stength during this difficult time.
Phil, Jane, Joe and family,
I was so saddened to hear of Andrea’s death. She touched the life of people that she didn’t even know. There was a gentleman at my parent’s church who asked about her everytime I saw him. Her story touched him in a profound way that stuck with him all these years.
I hope that you will find peace and comfort in your memories.
Love,
Kelly Dotson
Dear Phil & Jane, we are so very sorry for this terrible loss. She was too young & I know you were not ready to see her go. We lift you both up to the arms of our Loving Father. May He give you both the comfort and peace you so desperately need at this time. He is Jehovah-jireh and He will provide. Love, Nell & Jay
Jane, years ago you did a party for me (hope your remember)……
I saw this obit. Nothing is worse for a mom…..than to loose her child….
My mom has lost two.
I saw this and wanted to say ‘I am thinking of you’. If you ever need a friend, or to talk – I could be one ! I just lost in November my dad (after 4 years of sickness)…..and I’m an old hand.
Get you a foam ‘clown nose’ from the Health Adventure – fund things to laugh about…. laughter at a time like this is good medicine.

You will all be in our prayers; yourselves and your daughter who is now in the kingdom of heaven.

To my Dear Friend Jane,
I was so heartbroken when I heard the news about Andrea’s passing.
Over the years I have prayed the lord would help watch over your daughter.
And I know how much Andrea has gone through and how strong she was.
Donating her beautiful hair for Locks of Love, just proves the love she had for others.
As I write this all I can think of is wishing I lived closer so I could hold you in my arms and ease the pain. (As you would for me).
Andrea was a Angel on earth and is now an Angel in Heaven.
If you need anything I am just a phone call away.
Love to you all,
Dee Roque
Phil and Jane,

How our hearts ache with yours during this incredibly difficult time. The prayers for Andrea’s healing have been answered in His way which was to call her back home with Him . There, as the word reminds us, ‘is no more pain or sorrow.’ May you be sustained during these days with the full assurance that HE IS OUR HOPE, and you will be reunited with your precious daughter in eternity.
Our love, prayers, and availabilty are with you.
In His Love,

Dear Jane,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter Andrea. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and I pray that through God’s Grace you are given the strength and peace you need to get through this.
Jane,
I have somewhat lost touch with you over the past couple of years, but I have continued to keep Andrea and your family in my prayers. I know that she suffers no more, and for that I rejoice. However I also cannot even begin to imagine your grief and loss. The only thing I can offer you is my prayer. I will continue to lift your family up to Jesus each and every day. He is our comforter, He is our strength. John 14:26-27. Peace be unto you and your family. Love always, Serena
Dear Jane and Phil,
I am so sorry to hear of Andrea’s passing. I still remember her as a happy, little red-haired bundle in the baby carrier at the music festival in New York many years ago. Nothing makes a death of a child easier to bear, but I am confident that your faith in God will give you some comfort.
With sympathy,
Barbara Hendricks
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. It is with deep regret that I was informed of the passing of your daughter. My sympathies and condolences. I am very sorry…
Dear Jane and Phil,
I was so sad to read your e-mail about Andrea’s death. It doesn’t seem that long ago we were climbing Seneca Rocks and you were pointing to your very proud pregnant belly! I can’t imagine your sorrow. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers, that God will help yu through this terrible pain and loss. Please stay in touch and know that there’s always a room in CT if you need to get away for awhile. Love, Bill and Ann Hodge
Dear Jane and Phil,
Bitsy called me with the sad news about Andrea. I pray that you have found comfort in the support of friends and your family’s gathering in Asheville. Of course, my memories of Andrea are from her early childhood when you visited at Oakland. I remember her light red hair beautifully crowning her little head.
I pray that you will be able to lean on the Lord, releasing your pain as time passes. Late this summer, my father died. In our family, he was my rock, relatively healthy and always mentally capabale until just a few days before his death. Because of his death, I think I am sharing the grieving process with you.
I will try to stay in touch with Marian, and help her in any way I can. Let me know if you are aware of a particular need she may have. (I’ll include my e-mail here, in case the register does not provide it to you, since I chose to keep my Guestbook entry ‘private.’)

Dear Jane and Phil,
Although I never go to meet Andrea, I have known her for nearly 7 years through hundreds of e-mails we sent back and forth. She was such a bright, funny enthusiastic girl.
I was shocked to hear of her passing. She has touched my life and I will never forget her.
My deepest condolences to you and the rest of the family. Hopefully you’ll find the strenght to make it through the time to come.
God bless you and your family. We will be praying for you and we know God will help you through.
Love Gail Johnson
I am praying for you. My wish is that you both pass through these hard times knowing you are surrounded by the loving presence of God.
Phil & Jane, Words cannot express my sympathy. I know she fought a long hard battle that is finally put to rest. You don’t know how often I have thought of all of you and prayed for you. With deepest regrets, Love, LaDonna & Phil
Dear Jane and Phil, Frances and I are aware of the profound loss of your precious dauhter, Andrea. We can’t really imagine how difficult it must.
