"This world could not hold your brilliance

You belong to the stars.

Thank you for leaving us a trail of stardust to follow in your wake." Thank you for the added beauty, Mesa. 💖

This is so beautiful, Mesa. So tender and loving and gentle. It is the broken healed with tiny toothpick crutches - it is everything. I ❤️ you ✨✨✨✨

Without you I wouldn’t have known Andrea passed yesterday. Without you I wouldn’t know a lot of things. Lord of the butterflies, lighting bolts, and stardust… your poem is the perfect tribute. I hope Meg gets to see it.

Love you

❤️‍🩹💔❤️‍🩹🌈⚡️✨

Well now I’m crying at my desk again. I don’t know what I did to deserve such a friend as you, but I feel so very lucky. Love you, K. Always. Xoxo

Crying with you from mine!! 😭✨🦋

And likewise. You are a North Star among a sea of chaos to my heart. I always know I can look to you for truth and deep compassion when it feels like this planet is devoid of it. 🧭

Mesa, same feelings as you. I would have wanted to hug Andrea, as I did everytime before. '...love of life and a shamelessness that felt like searing truth that invited us all to come together.' I want to be a part of continuing this. I know that you do to and this is what I feel when I find you in my inbox. I think we can do this. Continue this message of love, this light of a human I love. I think that we can also do it together. I am looking forward to it. May we create love of life and a sense of shamelessness, may we take Andrea's stardust and stitch the world more beauty and love. xo
