What an introduction for me to their talent and gratitude. I feel like I've found them too late.

"To die is to be reincarnated in those we love while they are still alive." The world will miss you, Andrea.

I think this is the most beautiful poem I’ve ever heard. I know nothing of Andrea Gibson…yet. I need to learn who she was because this was amazing.

I’ve never heard a poem more true. Chills , tears. This will be a life long etched poem in my vault to pull out when I need a reminder that our loved ones never leave us. Andrea Gibson you are here. More so than ever. May your loved ones feel your presence ever so sweetly. 🦋

Andrea Gibson’s words will live on forever. 🫶🏻 I hope their soul rests as gently as the comfort, courage, and truth they offered to queer hearts, tender spirits, and anyone who ever needed to feel seen. Their voice changed lives—and it always will.
