  6. I met Petrona Andrews when we both worked at American Airlines, she was my first Jamaican friend when I migrated to the USA. She took me around Dallas and showed me the ropes, explained to me the good and bad about what to expect living here. She was a kind loving mother and always put her family first. She was also very personable and “Funny” always knew some sort of funny jokes, especially old Jamaican folklore, she truly knew how to put a smile on people’s faces, mostly always saw the glass half full. I was very heart-broken when I leaned of her passing, you will truly be miss Sis, continue to RIP.
