Dear Rada Family,

I send my best wishes to your family during these difficult times, I apologize for a late reply as I have only seen this post only today. 

Andrea has one of the most smartest, keenest and creative minds I have ever encountered in my life. She was such a dear friend to me when we were much younger in elementary school at STS.  I remember us running around in her neighborhood off on our own adventures and reading our favourite book series ‘Warriors’. 

Andrea will be dearly missed, she was such an amazing and beautiful person and I will hold on to her memories forever. 

Sending our love,

Erina and the Lo Family 

Mr. and Mrs. Rada, my heart breaks for you. I am very sorry for your loss. Andrea was a beautiful person inside and out who lived her life fully.  We became close in 2014 after I had left the Semiahmoo Strings and moved to Toronto. She confided in me about school and her friends, and even though she was going through a lot herself, she was always willing to listen and offer encouragement when I needed it. She was incredibly selfless and always caring. She was also a very talented and sensitive violinist and an invaluable member of our orchestra. I found a card she had written to me the other day and I will cherish it and keep it forever. You were so loved, Andrea. I hope you have found your peace, you beautiful girl.

I know this is a little late, but I didn't see this page until just now. I only met Andrea in the lab course we shared this term - we sat next to each other. But she was friends with a good number of my friends. 
She was a very kind person. Always outgoing, and sweet. We got along instantly. 
I hope she found her peace. 
My deepest condolences. 

Dear Rada Family,

I was one of Andrea's Biology lab instructors at UBC. My class is small and the students work closely together in groups. There were only 18 students in Andrea's class and she worked in a group with two other students. We are all very very sad.  Andrea was very well-liked by her group. We last saw her on Friday Feb 28th. I read how many different talents and hobbies she had. Here is another one you probably didn't know about: she was able to look through a microscope and pick up microscopic worms very easily, --it's the kind of skill a surgeon would have. In my class this made her a very skillful "worm picker" and her group members say it was entirely due to her speed and skill that they won the Worm Olympicks team relay, a fun event that the students do.  She and her group mates laughed and enjoyed each others company while they worked. They told me that they had gotten to be close so that they were making plans to hang out together outside of class.  My very last memory of Andrea was of her with a nice smile on her face leaving for the weekend, wishing me a nice weekend.   Her classmates and I are very shaken. I know it is nothing compared to the grief you feel. But if it gives you some comfort,  she was part of friendly circle in each of her biology classes here at UBC. We had a vigil for her in our lab with a candle, her picture and her "worm pick" all last week.  I will not forget her, nor will her class mates. Our thoughts are with you.

It is with abysmal sadness that I send these few words to mourn with you the loss of your beloved Andrea. I wished I never had had to express this sadness and my deep compassion for her, and for you, loving and caring mother and father. I wish you eternal peace Andrea, I will forever remember the joyful image of the young girl when you were busy discovering Paris and the passion and enthusiasm with which you expressed yourself during these visits and which made me so proud of you and your parents.RIP my only niece.

Dear Sorana and Novac,
We have been so fortunate to have shared with you over the years Andrea's successes and accomplishments in so many areas: academic, music, painting, crafts and the list is endless. 
The sadness of her passing affects us all, but keeping her memory alive will remain a source of strength.
All our love,
Charles, Daniela and Ana


Sorana and Paul 

Words cannot express the how deeply sorry I am to hear about Andrea. My deepest sympathy for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Paul.  I remember the day Andrea came to the office for first time. And the items I brought through the school from her. With heartfelt condolences.  Debbie Gillies
