She worked tirelessly, driven by ambition and a deep desire to make a difference. Charities, children and those in need were always at the heart of her efforts. She worked too hard to be honest, but it was what gave her motivation and reward, especially as publisher of Frontdoors . Andrea was adventurous. She loved to try new things, to challenge herself and be part of experiences that would be truly memorable. She did cooking contests. She did zip lines. She liked roller coasters. Even though I hated them, she was always the one with the kids on the scary ones. She loved to travel, and we went to some amazing places together. London. Paris. Italy. Hawaii. New York. And so many others. She could be silly sometimes. I know for many of you, it’s probably difficult to imagine, if you knew her through the charity events or the magazine work or the professional interactions. Her 50 th birthday party was at the Dash Inn, the recreation of a dive bar that she apparently spent the vast majority of her college days in.

She worked tirelessly, driven by ambition and a deep desire to make a difference. Tom and Andrea chaired the Vienna Carnival Opera Gala in 2023. 10 | FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE

She loved our cats. In the pandemic, she even orchestrated a plan with the kids for us to get a COVID kitty behind my back, and then executed it with perfection. Our oldest cat, Sally, is a legend among our family, close friends and the entire neighborhood. Andrea was Sally’s favorite and would curl up next to her whenever possible. The kids and I were OK, but Andrea was the good stuff to Sally. Andrea was loyal. She valued her friendships and carried some of them for the better part of four decades. But if you were a newer friend, she still did everything she could to keep you close and help out in any way if she could. We were together for 24 years and married for 22. And so much of that time, despite illness, was a gift. And she was beautiful. Beautiful beyond words. The blonde hair, the blue eyes, the smile. A beautiful wife, partner, mother, daughter, sister and friend. That’s the Andrea I remember. And cancer can’t take that away from me. She was just as comfortable at a tailgate holding a cheap beer as she was at a charity ball holding a glass of champagne. IN MEMORIAM With friends at the 2024 Phoenix Heart Ball.
