Dear Angie,



I remember the first day when I joined the RP list....there you were, a most welcoming shining light. You gave hope to everyone in the group, and at the same time, you also showed your fierce and unconditional love for Jerry and Mario! Oh, how you loved them! I know you are still with them, in the love you shared and in the memories they carrry within their hearts, as well as ours.



Thank you for listening....to all of us. Thank you for listening when I shared with you what was working for me...using antibiotics to treat this terrible disease. I'll be here to support anyone who wants to look into other treatments, as you were always open to do the same.



Your legacy will live on, Angie. We thank you for your vision and your dream to work for a real cure through the RP Foundation.



With love and sincere admiration,



Connie

To Angie's family --

Angie was my guardian angel and to many other people around her. She was courageous and lived every moment of her life to the fullest. I will get out my Christmas cup and have a cup of tea to celebrate her wonderful life. I know at this moment she is figuring out how to sign up to be guardian angels to as many people as possible and get some Christmas decorations up. :) Thank you Angie for sharing yourself so selflessly with everyone. Thank you to Jerry & Mario for supporting Angie through good days and bad. Angie has touched my life for the better.

God Bless!

Angie, I loved you. Simply put, thank you for all you meant to so many people. Thank you for the AI list, and for being the person you were. Jerry and Mario, I am sorry that I did not know of her passing until today. I am

sure that she would be the first to cheer for the reason why I learned of it so late -- I am about to be married to a wonderful man, and I've been nomail on the list for about 2-3 weeks to finish the preparations. She would be happy for me because of the marriage I left one and a half years ago -- the end of which was hard for me but it was necessary, that Angie knew, and bless her heart (may she rest in peace), even though I had not "spoken" with her for nearly a year, she would be happy. She was a sweet, wonderful friend, whom I'm happy to have been blessed to know. I am sure you have heard what I am about to say more often than you want to hear it, but it is

very true -- she is in a better place, and out of pain now, and for that I am thankful. Take care yourselves and each other. That's what Angie would have wanted.

So long, Angie, till we meet again. Love, Deanna

Angie, we miss our mother. You loved us, comforted us, encouraged us, leading by example and words. You scolded us when we needed to refocus, and coddled us when we felt broken and sad. And we loved you for it.



Mario and Jerry, it is thru your mother and wife that we know you. Whenever she spoke of you it was with such love and pride. And we know you loved her and took pride in her, too.



I'll never forget her joy and excitement in planning your 21st birthday party, Mario. And her determination to be able to dance at that party. Then she sent us a picture of the two of you dancing and we knew her dream had come true. I have not often witnessed such open and full-hearted love in a family. Without your knowing it, I'm sure, the love in your family--the love between the three of you-- was also a source of encouragement and strength to us.



God bless you as he continues to bless dear Angie, until we all meet in His home.

Dear Angie, God Bless you and keep you. You are a great inspiration to many. I thank you for starting the autoimmune group. I met you and lots of other dear friends who kept me going through my life.

Melinda Hohenberger

I am a member of the Aces Autoimmune List that Angie created.

I never knew her except by her biography on the list. That really doesn't matter. Because of that list, I am able to cope better with my auto-immune problems. I thank you, her family, for allowing her to have the time and space needed to do all that she did for these lists.

You gave more than you will ever know. I pray that you will know the comfort and peace of our loving God as you move forward in the days ahead. Blessings,

DEAREST MOM,AUNT,AND BEST FRIEND

ALSO TO EVERY KIND HEART THAT SIGNED

THIS QUESTBOOK!!!



I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW HOW TO PUT

IN WORDS WHAT I WANT TO SAY, BUT THE

FIRST THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY

IS THAT EVERYONE KNEW WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON SHE WAS,AND HOW STRONG SHE WAS, ALSO HOW COMPASSIONATE SHE WAS TOWARDS OTHERS. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR

HEARTS TILL WE MEET HER AGAIN. I

NEVER KNEW WHAT A TRUE MOTHER WAS

TILL I MET HER, AND WISHED THAT I

WAS HER REAL DAUGHTER. SHE MADE ME

FEEL LIKE I WAS SO IMPORTANT AND THAT NO MATTER HOW SICK SHE WAS, SHE

WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. IF SHE

WASN'T THERE FOR ME, I WOULDN'T BE

HERE FOR MY SON TODAY!!! I MISS HER

SO MUCH, BUT SHE WOULDN'T WANT ME TO

BE SO UPSET, AND NOT GO ON, SO I AM

STAYING STRONG FOR HER, BECAUSE THAT

IS WHAT SHE WOULD WANT FROM ME. I

JUST MOSTLY WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU

TO EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE FOR HER,

AND WHO CARED FOR HER, I WISH SHE

COULD HAVE ONLY KNOWN HOW IMPORTANT

SHE WAS TO EVERYONE, BUT ACTUALLY

NOW I KNOW SHE CAN SEE IT!!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MOM

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!

LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER

YOUR DAUGHTER

Angie we will all miss you dearly, if it wasn't for you and the website I know that I wouldn't be getting the treatment that I am today. A friend of mine said that when we think of someone we've lost to remember them with angel wings. I know Angie you have been an angel for us all.

She is truly an Angel to me for reaching out and helping others. Thank you Angie. I will be Praying for your family as you look down upon all of us.

I know you are happier now that you are with the Lord because you no longer struggle to breath or feel any pain. I hope to see you again some day and I pray for comfort and peace for your beloved family. Thanks Angie for all you have done and all that you are! love, sue

Dear Angie,



I am so grateful that you were the driving force to start the RP group, this has provided many with the scarce information on a disease that little is known about. This group and foundation is a wonderful legacy that you have left.



Until we meet again!

Dear Angie

I remember reading your story and thinking to myself, what a woman this is, here is someone I'm going to pay attention to. You gave me clarity when I was in a fog about RP. You gave me hope and showed me that you could get thru the worst of times. Your words were more than words on a screen, they gave me insight into you and how much you cared for others. Although we never met in person, I looked for emails from you, and smiled when I got them, I feel very fortunate to have known you. You were my contact to others who share this bond. We are a very small group of people, but the love you showed in your caring will live forever in those you touched. I will never forget you Angie, you, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. We will meet one day. Til then.

Mike

I miss you already, Angie. You were my greatest source of strength and support when I was first diagnosed with RP. Your dream will live on in the Foundation and we will do our best to continue making all of your dreams come true. I feel blessed to have known you, and feel privileged to call you my friend.

From time to time, God sends us angels here on earth. If we are wise, we cherish them, love them, and never forget them, when the good Lord calls them back home.

Loving thoughts are with Angie's family.

Angie was not only a dreamer but a dream catcher. She caught the vision, and carried through with her vision of forming this foundation. Her biggest wish was not only education but a cure for Relapsing Polychondritis. We have all laughed together and cried together, and I'm sure as we are left here on this earth, Angie will be in heaven like a Mother Hen watching over her brood. She will be sending us encouraging thoughts, and dreams, so lets latch on to her dream and become Angies dream catchers and carry on to find the cure for this awful disease. Till we meet again at Heaven's Gate, I will always love and care for you Angie. Jerry and Mario the support group will always be here for you, we will continue to keep you in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

Angie, your fight for RP will continue as will your dream for the RP Foundation. You touched the hearts of so many and you will remain in our heart and souls. Like the RP lighthouse, you will continue to guide us on our path. Until we meet again, you will be forever missed.

My dear friend, you will remain full of life in my heart and I will keep your legacy alive in the Autoimmune list you founded online. You were an angel to so many who were in need and your list remains to bring people together in your memory.

Until we soar together......

Angie was an inspiration to all those whose lives she touched. Despite her health problems, she always had a warm heart, listening ear, and willingness to comfort others in distress. Angie was "list mama" to our Autoimmune list and it will continue to be strong because of the leadership she showed. She will be missed.

With love,

Jane Hutchinson
