Andrea, You will be dearly missed, especially in the childcare field!!! You were a great inspiration to all childcare providers!!! R.I.P.

Sending my condolences to the family of Andrea. She and I never had the chance to meet in person but, she was such a warmhearted person. When you were having a bad day she knew just what to say to bring a smile to your face. I will always remember her beautiful spirit. I know she will continue to spread love from the high heavens.

Sending my condolences to the family of Andrea. She and I did not know each other personally, only through the Tiny Humans fb page for childcare. I had many kind and funny interactions with Andrea over the past couple years with sharing posts. She was an inspirational to all of us on that page with her beautiful spirit. Fly high beautiful Andrea and may your legacy live on forever in the hearts of children that you have forever touched and for the rest of us.......

Your mother was truly a jewel and she’s definitely going to be missed by many. I continue to pray for peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Dearest Andrea…
We do not know each other; however, through your awesome posts on a daycare social page, you shed light, brightness, happiness, and harmony to all who read them. Your positivity was pure. In a field (childcare) where many are just phoning it in, you made a difference in each child’s life. You will be sorely missed not only by the social page but by the people who you touched in the past. I wish your family and friends peace and comfort. May your memory be never forgotten. Rest in Jesus’ arms.

I did not know Andrea personally,  but her smile and positivity reached all over. She was a member of a childcare group on facebook and we all will miss her radiance and joy. I wish all her family comfort in this sad time.

I am so sorry for your loss! Prayers for comfort! I knew Andrea through facebook page. She had good advise, loved her outfits, and her smile would brighten my day!

Like many others, I only knew Andrea though our providers FB group. She truly was an inspiration, with an uplifting spirit.  Her joy was contagious. She will be missed dearly. 
To her family and friends, I hope you find comfort in knowing just how special Andrea was to all of us and how far her joy reached. My condolences to her family, friends and all those who knew her.

My condolences to the family and loved ones of Mrs. A.  My grandson Hiram went to her at just 3 months old. I thank God that he guided my daughter to her.  Our entire family was blessed by her presence in our lives. Thanks Mrs A, you will be forever in our hearts 💕

I too only knew her through our provider group. I know she is lighting the heavens with her beautiful smile and a shining soul! May she forevermore rest in his grace. You will be missed!

Heaven just got a beautiful new angel , we will miss your posts , your passion for life ! We messaged each other after the loss of our mommas , you will be truly missed my friend , prayers for your family

What a beautiful soul she was. She made the biggest impact on the small Facebook group we shared, I can only imagine the impact she had on those who knew her and loved her personally. Rest in eternity, friend! 💛

What a beautiful soul gone too soon… I admired her personality and beauty… she was such a light and inspiration as a fellow Child care Provider. Prayers to her Family

I knew Andrea from her posts and pictures on a daycare providers FaceBook page.  I loved her bright spirit, positive energy, incredible smile and her bold  fashion sense.  The children in her care were blessed to have a provider who was so full of love and light.   She hadn’t posted in quite a while and just this week, I wondered how she was doing.  So very shocked and sad to hear of her loss.  She will be greatly missed.  My prayers and condolences go out to her loved ones,

I as well knew Andrea through a day care FB group! She always brought a smile to my face another her bright personality.  Also loved her outfits. She truly will be missed by many.

My sincere apologies, to All her family and friends, I did not have the pleasure of meeting or knowing her in person but I liked her through Facebook  I can remember her big smile, love for children and unique expressions. I know she will be forever missed 

Sincerely 
Another daycare provider

Like many other daycare providers, I knew you the daycare page and I enjoyed your pictures. I admired your enthusiasm, your smile and your sense of fashion. 

It breaks my heart to hear of her passing and pray for her immediate family and those families she made an impact on.

 I will miss see your bright smile on Facebook. 

May she rest in peace.

I didn't know her personally but she was apart of a daycare providers fb page that I was part of. She always had a great personality and loved seeing her amazing outfits. Prayers to her family.

I only knew Andrea from a daycare page we both were on. She had such uplifting posts, I loved her beautiful smile, I loved seeing all of her fashionable outfits, she just was an amazing person. I wished I could have met her in person. Heaven has gained a beautiful lady. She will be missed. I will be praying for her family and friends.

I didn’t know Andrea personally, but followed her on a Facebook page for us fellow daycare providers, for years. I was always smiling after reading any of her posts. She  just lit up a room literally through the computer. She seemed like the most happiest woman ever and it was such a pleasure reading all of her posts and always seeing all her fun, colorful outfits! The love that she had for her daycare kids shone through in her love for her job.  She was an inspiration, and I’m sure will be missed by many. My condolences to her friends and family! 🙏
 Jen In MidWest, daycare Provider

My heart is shattered. I only knew Andrea from Facebook but I loved seeing her posts about her life and her center. She loved those little ones with her whole heart. She had the most infectious smile and the best style. I will miss her. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

One of the brightest, boldest and loving ladies I ever met. I’m going to miss you. Prayers for all who knew you. Deepest sympathy ❤️

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet Cousin Andrea in person until shortly before her passing. However, I followed her on Facebook. She always had an infectious smile in every stylish picture which exuded confidence and a fierce love of life. I learned from those images she cared for the children at the daycare as though they were her own flesh and blood. Her style and love for color was inspirational. She reminded me without a word, no matter my age to be willing to be myself even if it means not conforming to the status quo for women of a certain age. Most importantly were three words in her bio that gave me hope. She professed to be a “God fearing woman”.

Jesus taught,  “blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted” Matthew5:4. I pray His words bring everyone comfort.  Lord willing Andrea is in the presence of her Savior with a new body that will never get sick again and experiencing indescribable joy!

In the meantime, I pray for those who remain in this life to “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬.  May you be comforted and strengthened until you’re reunited in Heaven, never to be separated again.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. 💜💐🕊

Thank you for always connecting with us and bringing the community together. Going out of your way to make everything special and beautiful.

Thank you for always bringing the sunshine and making us smile. Such a gift to have a beautiful person in our lives. She blessed so many people, especially children. We pray for Ms. Andrea's family and friends to help get through this hard time. We are here to support you.

Ms. Andrea always has a smile, kind words, and joyous laughter.  It was easy to conclude her heart was so pure. She enjoyed the simple things like they were the biggest. She made the environment better with just a smile.

Keeshia, Kevin and family my heart, and prayers are with you. She will continue to shine in her most beautiful colors.

Ms A was one of the sweetest people I ever met.  Had the pleasure to attend one of her graduations ceremonies.  Which my grandson was one of her students.  She was a blessing to so many children and my grandson was bless to be one of them.

I'm really going to miss you friend  We had a great trip together May God continue to Bless your beautiful family I know you are smiling and taking some beautiful pictures

This picture was taken at Katrina’s 55th all white birthday celebration. Andrea’s white dress was so elegant and chic! I hadn’t seen my Sister-in-law in a while but we didn’t miss a beat. She had a way of making you feel like the most important person in the room. I love you Sis and missing you already!

My family and I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Ms. Andrea.  We can't imagine the pain you must be going through, and my heart goes out to you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.  Ms.  Andrea had always been such a caring and dedicated presence in my grandchildren’s lives starting from NiNi then Arianna and Acara and the present one Amir.  It is clear that she truly went above and beyond for the children in her care, and had a passion of the job she loved sooo much. She made a great impact on my grand children’s lives. She will forever be missed. Please know that you are in my thoughts, and I’m wishing you strength and peace as you navigate this time.

The Bundy Family 🕊️🕊️

This is a picture of the 4 sisters, our hearts will never be the same. ❤️

Thank you Andrea for always being there for the family. We will miss you!

RIP God’s beautiful angel 🙏🏽

Andrea could really strike a pose and stayed ready. She was a fun loving Sister-in-Law.  You will be missed!❤️

My condolence to you Lakeeshia and family, my prayers  that God will give you peace an comfort during this time.  I do understand what you are going through.  Each time I saw your mom's beautiful face she always had a beautiful big smile, she would make me smile. I will certainly keep you and family lifted in prayer. I know it seems hard right now but remember to keep God in the forefront of it all. If you ever need me for anything please don't hesitate to contact me. With Love Theresa

Condolences on behalf of the Baptiste family.  Such a bright spirit to be taken from us so soon.  Wishing the family God’s strength and favor during this time of need.

Praying. "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" for the Created Family,  Family of Origin, Extended Family & Friends during the initial grief of Andrea Askew Peebles.  
Three cordial neighbors on Race St. with parents of like values & who minded their own business; however, an electrifying smile with a gracious greeting would be given by Andrea.
Hold on to the memories & to God's Unchanging Hand!

Thank you for your friendship for last 15 years my dear. You depart, but your friendship is staying forever in my heart. 

Rest in peace my dearest friend! Love

On this day  Andrea and I went to church and we enjoyed the service.

After service I surprised Andrea and took her to dinner at Jerry’s Seafood. We ate and laughed till our hearts content.  Before leaving Andrea asked one of the staff member to take our picture and I’m so glad she did.  Andrea, I love ❤️ you and will miss you terribly.  RIHP

May God comfort the family 🙏🏾 My Condolences.

So sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences to you and your family. Her beautiful spirit will be missed.

My deepest condolences and prayers to Lakeeshia,Kevin , Keyon and the rest of the Peebles family.  Ms Andrea was a beautifully vibrant person.  Her presence will truly be missed!! May GOD keep you and cover you with a comfort only he can provide during this incredible loss.  Her spirit will always be with you. ♥️🌹🌹

Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted".

Andrea, you may be gone e from my sight, but you are never gone from my heart.  It’s hard to forget someone who gave me so much to remember.  The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love left behind.  Thank you for your friendship and times of unforgettable laughter.  

Sending your family so much love and comfort.  

Rest in peace, my dear friend. 

Love,

JJ

My dear, dear Andrea.  I am at a loss to accept that you will no longer be here with your infectious smile and laughter.  I worked with you for nine years and in that time I grew to admire you as a friend and confidant.  You are pictured with our friend, JJ, at my home.  We had fun times together and we were all guaranteed to have a fantastic time when we met.

I know you are making Heaven your very own and giving fashion tips to one and all!  You’re making it a haven of “Orange”, your favorite color.  May we meet again one day.

You took care of Amir since he was 4 months old. You taught him so much and gave him so much TLC.  Your dedication to making sure our son felt safe and welcomed will never go unnoticed. Thank you immensely for welcoming him with open arms and an open heart. We will forever be grateful for Mrs. Andrea and Best Hands Daycare. The kids were truly in the BEST HANDS. We will truly miss your energy, your smile and overall your spirit. We love you!

We are truly heartbroken over the news of the passing of Mrs. Andrea. This photo here was our gender reveal and we told her once we had our son, there was no doubt in our mind that we wanted her to care for him. Once the availability arose, we jumped right on it the following week. She became Amir’s 3rd grandmother and we trusted her with ours son’s life. Amir truly loved you as much as you loved him. Mrs. Andrea was and forever will be a ray of sunshine and we’re beyond thankful. Such an infectious smile that lit up a room. Sending our condolences and prayers to the family during this difficult time.

Thank you for the love and care you gave to Destiny during her time at daycare. You truly were a part of our village, and your kindness and dedication will always be remembered. We miss you and are so grateful for everything you did for Destiny.  RIH...Love you forever in our hearts 💕 💞

My deepest condolences 🙏 to the family. I became friends with Andrea through a weight loss group. She had such an infectious smile and style. I was immediately interested in knowing more about her. I enjoyed her daycare videos, along with her fashion pictures. She left a beautiful mark on this world and in my heart. I will always remember her and remind myself that I want to live life just like she did. The handbags and earrings were always a reflection of her personality. Rest in peace, my dear friend!! I love you!

On behalf of my family—Jonathan & Sharae  Parris and our boys Jalen, Yoel, and Zaire—we extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Ms. Andrea. She was more than just a caretaker; she was a nurturing, compassionate presence in our children’s lives and in our own. Her unwavering love and care left an undeniable mark on Yoel during his time at daycare, and her impact was so profound that we entrusted our youngest, Zaire, to her as well, even after moving further away.

Ms. Andrea’s warmth, kindness, and dedication will always be remembered. She held a special place in our hearts, and her memory will live on through the lives she touched. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May her legacy of love and care bring comfort to all who knew her.

Ms. Andrea welcomed our son Yoel into her daycare when our family first moved to Maryland in 2017. She provided exceptional care for him until 2019, when he transitioned to pre-K. We held her in such high regard that when our third son Zaire needed daycare, there was no question where he would go. Despite relocating from Laurel to Baltimore, we made the effort to bring him to Ms. Andrea’s center in Laurel because of the loving and attentive care she provided at Best Hands Family Day Care. Our family deeply loved and respected Ms. Andrea, and her memory will always hold a special place in our hearts. She will be greatly missed.

Andrea was my friend through FB , we were kindred spirits, fellow fashionistas. She was everything that is good & right in this world. I am so very saddened by this news. My heart goes out to her family & friends. May her precious memory be a blessing & comfort to all who mourn the  loss of this incredible human being.

To Andrea’s family and friends, I  am sooo saddened by this news! My deepest condolences to you all! I was only friends with Andrea through FB. In fact, she is my only FB friend that I did not know personally. Her smile, faith, positivity and zest for life was so admirable! I never made a comment on a post that she did not respond to. She also always had such kind words when I made a post.  I so wish I could have known her in person! She seemed like such a genuine and kind soul!  I will miss her posts and pictures. They always made my day. I can’t even imagine how much her family and friends will miss her. Hugs and prayers and know that she is still with you! God apparently wanted another angel in heaven for Christmas.💜

Ms. A always hosted the best parties . Beautiful soul and spirit you will be missed. We love you 
Asha, Shawn and London

Your energy and blessed spirit is why we chose you as our daycare provider. You have been a tremendous inspiration to all of our kids at the center and you always taught my son to dream big. 
I’m going to miss our daily ‘outfit check’ every morning. We would give each other two snaps & one twirl and wish each other a blessed day! 
You are in good hands now - thank you for teaching to live fully and love deeply in every lesson. 
Rest peacefully Ms. Andrea. 

From, 
Arielle, Jon, & Roman

Thank you for all the love and kindness you have shown my family. And encouraging Melissa to find her love in child care just like you. We all will miss you so much.

My eldest does landscaping, he’s 17 now, he was 15 in this picture. Of course she showed her support to Jo, he cleaned up her yard two summers ago. RIP Ms. Andrea

What a joy it was to know Miss Andrea! She played a vital role in laying a solid educational foundation for my grandson. She was the most joyful and kind person I was blessed to know. My condolences to her family. "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your lord."

Good evening everyone. I didn’t know Andrea but we met at her sisters wedding vow renewal just a couple months ago. I was sitting at my assigned seat alone at the table when Andrea and family came to sit. We introduced ourselves but you could tell she was a great spirit. Although I was alone, we had nice conversations like we all knew each other. Biggest chuckle at the table was my ink pen did not work , and she chuckled about it. And for that moment we had a good laugh. It was a short time while she shared a blessing with me.

My auntie stayed camera ready! I am deeply saddened at this tragic loss my Auntie was the life of any event anyone she met instantly loved her . I am glad to have shared this much time with her on earth! You will truly be missed auntie love you, my prayers are with my cousins and family at this time

I am still in disbelief over this loss.  Ms. Andrea was such a kindred soul and one of the many few who took in our family with such an open heart.  Her and my wife were the best of friends because of their wonderful personalities and abilities to just be themselves.  Her angelic presence did not go unnoticed and it showed in how she carried and conducted herself… you felt her impact and knew she was in the room displaying her elegance.  I am praying for the love ones during this most difficult time but please know that Ms. Andrea is still smiling from the Heavens above.

She will be deeply missed… we love you all.

I met Andrea online, she was an inspiration to me as a childcare teacher, and in life. Her pictures that blew up Facebook everyday brightened my day with her smile, confidence, and excitement for life.  Though we never met in person she blessed my life with her presence and messages. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

My name is Marvena and I am Andrea’s youngest sister 🤗. We often spent a-lot of time together at either her home or my home. She is already missed by many. She was the bright light 💡 in our family. Full of laughter 🤭, fun and loved the daycare children and her biological children. I will see you again Andrea on the other side❤️

This picture was taken literally 2months ago. You were loved . You were funny. You was fashionable. You were unique & you will be truly missed

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Andrea. Her beautiful smile lit up every room, and her laughter was truly contagious. Her impeccable sense of fashion made her stand out, but it was her kindness that truly defined her—a warmth and generosity that touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time. May you find comfort and strength in the love and memories she leaves behind. Rest in peace, dear Andrea.
