Angie. What can be said about Ang? Things like: sweet, easy to know, easy to talk to, understanding, integrity, helpfulness, caring, outgoing, loving, funny, big hearted, hard working, thorough, meticulous, smart and missed. These, to name just a few descriptions of our Angie. I had the luck of working at hospice with her. She brightened up a room when she walked in. I don't understand why God takes such a shining star from us too soon. She will be missed.

My dear cousin Angela, may you rest in peace. Although we did not keep in touch over the years, there were many times I thought fondly of you while reminiscing about my childhood. Visiting your family in Chicago for your moms ravioli, arguing who was sexier - Tom Jones or Elvis (say Hi to Elvis for me), listening to Micheal & Bob scream at the TV when the Bears were playing. Those are my memories. Since those times, years and years have gone by and your life has been filled with love and happiness with others. I pray your loved ones will remember their memories with joy knowing that you are in a better place and someday you'll meet again. God Bless you and you family. Marilyn
