Dear Lucie and friends of Andrea,

I happened upon this site and just recently learned of the news of Andrea's death. I share with you the feeling of sorrow. I also am concerned for the establishment of a proper monument for Andrea. I began to brainstorm about it, and thought that it would be perfectly fine to ask for the assistance of the personalities and companies she had worked for over the years. Surely the adult industry has also felt the deep loss from her passing. She had many friends in the industry. She also helped the adult companies make great profits. And her involvement and support of the adult industry also contributed to the defense of freedom of expression and artistic freedom not only in America but in Europe and other lands, for where most commonly is the freedom of expression challenged but in the persecution of the "obscene"? The woman I knew only as Lea De Mae wanted to live life as she chose to and let you choose whether to enjoy her work or not. Millions of fans around the world did enjoy her work. Those who were close obviously knew here as more than just a pretty girl, however. They shared good times and bad times with her. I salute mainly her family here, for they didn't abandon Andrea for her life choices, but rather embraced her yesterday and today in their hearts.

It is time to build and place a monument to Andrea. It can be done...it must be done in honor. May I suggest that friends and family make their presence and purpose known at some of the awards ceremonies of the adult industry, strong in resolve and purpose, to request the assistance of the personalities and companies that Andrea knew and worked for. They can and should show her honor. I believe truly hat the funds required for Andrea's monument can be gathered by this method. The adult industry will also gain the respect of millions (certainly of myself) for publicly contributing to such a cause to commemorate the life of one of their stars.

Hail Andrea!

May she live in eternal memory!

P.S. It shames me that I cannot donate myself to the cause at this moment, being just a soldier in the US Army. However I will continue to think of ideas and bring them to you. Have great hope Lucie! Know that Andrea lived well and she will be remembered!
