Andrea Jackson was 42 years old who had an disease called Sickle Cells Anemia which caused her pain her whole life. Yet she fought and was determined not to let it stop her from living her best life. The sickness had her go through a lot of trails and major surgeries and yet she still came through stronger than before. While it was said that she wouldn’t live past a certain age as well as wouldn’t be able to birth children she had the three amazing children: Andrenayah, Nariah, and her one and only boy Zyir. She was an incredible mother always did over and beyond for them she lived, breathed, and fought for her kids.

Andrea was special to so many people but most of all she loved her nieces and nephews so much as though they were her own, they were her second set of children: Antwanisa, Jakell, Ahnisa, Mekhi, Antayah, My’kira, Aquil, and Ayaan. She was so important in so many people’s lives, her sisters Anya and Anastasia were her back and front they fought this incredible fight with her through these 42 years, and especially her rock, her heart, her mother Sonya, who birth and stuck by her side no matter what.

Andrea was a kind, thoughtful, strong, optimistic, encouraging, and caring person and her wanting to donate to help others was most definitely expected because all she did her whole life is wanting to help and find ways to make a difference and help anyone who needed it. The fact of knowing a piece of her will continue to be here with us gives us a sense of comfort. We miss her dearly but I know she wants us to “ride for her ” So we will honor her until the end she is our warrior our protector and our strength
Love you, Dre
