Andreana Thompson

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, wife, and grandmother, "Andi", who went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. After a courageous two-year battle with cancer, she entered into eternal rest, surrounded by her loving family.

Andi was a woman of unwavering faith, boundless love, and selfless kindness. She dedicated her life to serving others, always opening her heart and home to those in need. She accepted everyone without judgment, feeding and caring for the less fortunate, including the homeless who passed through the park near her home. No one ever left her presence without feeling the warmth of her love.

She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished grandmother who found joy in every moment spent with her family. She never missed a school program, a birthday, or a special milestone, ensuring her children and grandchildren always felt loved and celebrated. She had a special gift for making every moment meaningful, hosting countless birthday parties and creating memories that will be treasured forever.

Andi had a heart for prayer and always trusted God, even through her pain. She smiled through every trial, believing in the goodness of the Lord. One of her favorite songs, *The Warrior is a Child*, reflected her spirit-though she faced battles, she never lost her faith.

She found joy in life's simple pleasures-browsing second-hand stores, playing with her grandkids, and spending time with family. Even in her final days, God granted her the blessing of witnessing her granddaughter, Andrea, marry the love of her life, Michael-one of her greatest wishes fulfilled.

Though our hearts are broken, we rejoice in knowing that Andi is now reunited in Heaven with her unborn child and the grandchildren she never got to meet on earth. She fought the good fight, finished her race, and kept the faith.

Her love, kindness, and unwavering faith will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
