So sorry. I just read the write-up - said she contracted Lyme in the Seychelles (in the Indian ocean).

Andrea Ortiz Peterson 1981-2009
"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long." While she was healthy, her light burned long and strong!
Andrea Ortiz Peterson, 27, of Graham, WA, passed away from complications of Lyme Disease on September 1, 2009.
She was born December 31, 1981 in Renton, WA. She grew up in the Renton Federal Way area, graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School, where she was an award-winning golfer and played the violin.
During her short life she also resided in Richmond Beach, VA and New Orleans, LA.
Andrea loved the sea, securing a job following her passion as a Merchant Marine Able Bodied Seaman, and sailed the waters of the world for Military Sealift Command.
Her travels of the world included the Seychelles, where she contracted Lyme Disease.
She remained strong of will and optimistic until the end of her life, in spite of her overwhelming medical issues.
Her love of the sea encompassed her life so much that she had purchased a sailboat and planned to live aboard.
Surviving Andrea are her parents, Sherry (Clark) and Dean Peterson, her sister Erin Moon, and many others who will miss her intelligence, love, warmth, and energy.
Family and friends will celebrate Andrea's life promptly at 1300 Hours (1:00PM) on Monday, September 7, 2009, aboard the Virginia V, 860 Terry Ave. N., Lake Union, Seattle, WA.
