> March 17, 2005 at 2:23a.m., Andre departed on her
> final journey. She left peacefully in her sleep with
> myself, Ollie and Mark at her bedside. She will be
> missed terribly and mourned deeply. Her passing
> leaves a void that can never be filled, as we shall
> never see the likes of her again. Knowing her has
> made me a better person.
> Andre requested that, in lieu of flowers, please
> send donations to Saint Jude Children's Hospital in
> Memphis Tennessee or Veteranarian Services, c/o The
> Noah Fund, P.O. Box 10128, Murfreesboro Tn. 37129,
> in her memory. Because of her love of animals, Andre

> After coming to live with us, and, as our feelings
> for one another grew, I began calling her "Meemaw".
> This past week, she said to me, "I have won many
> awards in my life, I am a Grand Master, some call me
> the First Lady of Fantasy, and others call me The
> Grand Damme of Fantasy, but the title I am most
> proud of is "Meemaw". Eventually, everyone followed
> suit and "Meemaw" it was. Finally, she had gained
> the family she had longed for most of her life. 
> I would like to take this opportunity to
> recognize Kathy Vinson L.P.N. and Jan Hoffmann who
> were instrumental in the day to day care of Meemaw.
> She developed a special closeness and friendship
> with them and, their feelings were mutual.
> Thanks to all of you for your phone calls, cards,
> flowers and gifts. Knowing everyone cared so much
> meant a great deal to her. Her modesty made it
> difficult for her to fully comprehend the magnitude
> of the feelings her fans and followers had for her.
> However, near the end she finally realized how much
> she was loved and admired by so many. 
> 
> Sincerely,
