Andrea L Held

My earliest memory of Andrea, was when she was 13 or 14 and had been asked to babysit me and my siblings in our cabin one evening while my mom was at teacher’s meeting. When a mouse ran across the living room rug, Andrea screamed very loudly and jumped up onto the wood box. I can still see her there screaming, while us three kids looked up at her, wondering what all the commotion was about!
Andrea had a beautiful, clear voice and the songs
that I most remember her singing were “To God be the Glory” and “Broken and Spilled Out.”
We were also birthday buddies, and through the following years Andrea never missed a year to text on July 10th to wish me a happy day. Many times we would chat for a bit and catch up on life.
I have always imagined heaven to be full of worship and praise, and I’m sure that Andrea’s happy voice and love of singing will be a great addition there, and a special joy to her mom, Betty, who loved to hear her daughter sing. 💗

Anne and I were out berry picking way up behind the ranch. Close to 1.5 to 2 miles from the tab. We were singing because we heard rustling nearby. We thought it might be a bear. Auntie Freda heard us from nearly 2 miles away. I think we were singing Broken and Spilled Out, which Anne could hit those high notes crystal clear.
