Remembering Andi Hardwick
To those of you who knew her, and those who had her on your watch list….
Hi Bette this is Mary Ann, Andi’s partner. Andi passed away Tues. a.m. here at home. The end was very peaceful…doing it her way till the end. She lives on forever in our hearts, memories and her art work. please keep us in your thought and prayers. Mary Ann and family
Andi fought a hard battle not once but twice against cancer, this time it won the war. She was so talented and I will miss her photography and her wonderful sense of humor!!
I don’t know what groups she was in, or how to let others know except this way.

Go with God Andi.

I know what you mean Von, she was a lot of fun and so very talented. I for one will miss her lovely photos. If you ever have a chance check out some others she posed on Eyefetch.com. She was on there as AHardwick. And I agree with you, Go with God Andi.

On Andi’s page she wrote this.
“Anyway, to me, my flowers, like life, are reminders that nothing lasts forever, take time to admire all the wonder and do, DO STOP to smell all the roses!”
Jamaboop replied
Thanks Von, I had forgotten she had that there…. I just keep seeing the beauty of her flowers!! It makes me sad to think she won’t take any more photos for us to see.

Cancer makes me very angry with its indiscriminate destruction of my friends and family.
Jamaboop replied
Oh do I know that feeling!! It’s a hard foe to fight, and it takes people way too soon in so many cases!! Thanks Al.

Jamaboop replied
Thank you Kate. I agree with you 100% it’s a horrible disease that doesn’t deserve to be in existence!!

You are welcome Gigi, although it is the kind of news none of ever wants to hear. I love what you said.

I am so sorry to hear that Jama.
Andi was an inspiration for me with her creative works.
I always looked at what she did and wondered who she really was she was so creative.
The longer I was on RB the more she revealed of her soul and the more I developed in my own photography based on what I saw her doing and what she taught me while I watched every angle she showed on RB.
She was one of the most inspiring persons for me here on RedBubble when it came to understanding shooting flowers and I can say Andi gave me a voice!
She will be missed and never forgotten as my work is part of her!
Its a reflection of her soul an I will remember her and thank her for that gift.
We wonder what in life can I leave to others and will I be remembered?
Did my life impact others in a good way?
Andi left to go on in her journeys an we are left an empty space in our hearts with her passing. But she will never be forgotten and her influence on me an my work is a direct link to Andi! She taught me so much and what she gave me will be passed on to others here on RedBubble an in other parts of my life as I show my work for a long time.
I posted this in my journal to my friends here on RB an she will be missed but always loved!
Jamaboop replied
David, thank you, you expressed so much better than I ever could how she taught, inspired, encouraged and kidded us into striving towards the wonderful impression she left us and awe inspiring work she showed us. She was truly an amazing person and you said it so eloquently!! Thank you!!
