It is with a very heavy heart that I am writing to inform you that our fellow Rotarian and dear friend, Andrea Johnson, has died. There are not a lot of details at this point, she was sick and suffering from her asthma this past week and when calls went unanswerred, a wellness check was requested of the RCMP and regrettably they confirmed that Andrea had passed.
 
Family from Alberta are on route, I am sure that Andrea will be taken home to her beloved Alberta. Any service will be at a later date. Should you feel so inclined, donations to the Rotary Foundation would be appropriate and encouraged.
 
Rotary and Andrea's  Rotary family meant the world to her and brought her joy, and we were blessed with her service to our club, community, District, PNWPETS and Rotary. Today as we mourn her passing, take a moment to remember her infectious laugh and beautiful smile and perhaps raise a glass of red wine to toast her memory. She will be sorely missed but I know that she would want us all to move forward and follow her lead of service. She was a champion of peace and today we must console ourselves knowing that she will rest in peace knowing we will carry on. She will be annoyed at missing the Olympics, World Championship Curling and the second half of the hockey season. Enjoy them for her.
