Angelina Malfitano Obituary

Angelina Rose Malfitano December 12, 1983 - May 30, 2006 Angelina's amazing smile had the capacity to light up a room. Her laughter was contagious. Her irrepressible spirit will provide an enduring legacy and will be a source of joy for those who knew her. With focused optimism and unlimited energy, Angelina accomplished more in 22 years than most people are able to do in a much longer lifetime. Angelina will graduate from the University of California, Davis on June 17. Her sister, Daniella, will walk in her place receiving a double bachelor's of arts in political science and women and gender studies with honors. Among the many honors she accumulated over the past four years, Angelina was awarded the Chancellor's Award of Merit (2006), the Margarita Robinson Student Leadership Award (2005), and the ASUCD Commission Chair of the Year (2004). Above all, Angelina felt most proud of her in-progress Senior Thesis, "Queer Activism at UC Davis." In addition, Angelina was one of two student assistants to the chancellor of the university, and was active on campus in a wide range of activities. She was a Unitrans bus driver, a drummer in the Cal-Aggie Marching Band-uh!, an intern for the LGBTRC. UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef says that Angelina "brought such passion and warmth and extraordinary ability to her role as student assistant to the chancellor. Angelina inspired me - and countless others, I'm sure - to always see the opportunity in every moment and to energetically seek ways to make a positive personal impact. For that - and for her - I am immensely grateful." Angelina attended Deer Valley High School in Antioch and graduated in 2002. She was class president for three years and was the rally commissioner her junior year. Angelina provided enthusiasm in her affiliation with the Deer Valley High School Leadership Class. She was a scholar athlete and was the recipient of the prestigious Principal's Award. Angelina was the loving daughter of Roberta Baumgardner and Dr. Vince Malfitano and stepdaughter of Steve Baumgardner and Roseyln Malfitano. As a big sister to Daniella, the bonds of sisterhood could not have been closer or more loving. Angelina took great joy in her siblings: Vincie and Gianna Malfitano; Sonya and Johnnie Graham; Adrianna Baumgardner and Arthur Gonzales and Vanessa Turner, and her darling nieces and nephews, Isabella Gonzales and twins, Maximus and Michael Graham. She was the adored granddaughter of Millie Solari and the late John Solari, Robert Montoya (deceased), Luciano and Rose Malfitano, Gus and Marion Favalora. Angelina will be missed by her aunts and uncles: Marie Montoya, Carmela and Frank Macaluso; Joseph and Joni Malfitano; Lou and Lynne Malfitano; Gus Favalora; Anthony and Christy Favalora; Michael and Eileen Favalora, as well as her 18 immediate cousins. Angelina had a wonderful array of friends who will always cherish the time they spent with her. Her friends will continue to proactively infuse the professions of education, law, social work, and public policy with Angelina always in spirit, mind, and heart. Angelina's personal compass seemed to always point toward a genuine hope for a better world. After working in Washington, D.C. with the UCDC internship program for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Angelina wrote these words: "We are all connected. I believe we all have the capacity to impact each other. As individuals we must accept the responsibility and the possibility to create change. Then, as a community, the impact is far- reaching and tangible. Join me in believing in the power of your impact as a mentor and a teacher and as an individual in this world." After her graduation, Angelina planned to join Teach For America. There is no doubt that countless children and communities have and would have been impacted by this amazing educator and remarkable womyn. Services for Angelina will include a Visitation on Monday, June 5th, 3-7pm at the Higgins Funeral Chapel, 1310 A Street, Antioch with a Rosary Service to follow at 7:30pm at Holy Rosary Church, 1313 A Street, Antioch. The Funeral Mass is on Tuesday, June 6th beginning at 1pm at Holy Rosary Church. UC Davis will be celebrating Ang in a Memorial Service on Wednesday, June 7, 12pm in the Activities and Recreations Ballroom in Davis, CA. The Angelina Rose Malfitano Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established to honor young people who personify the values and goals that Angelina found such enthusiasm for. Those who wish can send their contributions to The Angelina Rose Malfitano Memorial Scholarship Fund, care of Percy D. McGee, Jr. at Merrill Lynch, 1111 Broadway, 22nd Floor, Oakland, CA 94607, (510) 280-3800.

Hey sister,:) Just want to let u know that I love u so much it literally hurts me inside. So many things have happened since u left. Sissy im turning seventeen in five days. I havent seen unsince i was 12. sometimes I just really need u. But u aren't here so I live my life to the absolute fullest because I don't kno when I will die nd I want to be happy while I'm here. Sissy I never got to tell u, I'm gay. Nd I wish u could see me change the world around me. I've been to so many places and done so many things that u would never think dad or anyone else in the family would let us do. Nd it's all cause u truly paved the way. Nd I don't kno how to thank u. The reason y I post this now and not a long time ago is because right now sister, I am at a loss. I don't know what to do, nd I don't have u to help me. I go through so much everyday Daniella has cried bout it. I also wanted to let u kno that I have a huge picture of u in my room. It will never leave my room. Sometimes I change the picture but it is always of u. Sometimes I'll sit in my chair nd talk to u for a bit. I've laughed, cried, and sang to u. Nd ur picture is always of a smile to help me carry on. Sissy things are getting harder to manage nd I don't kno how much longer I can truly wait. But I just wanted to let u know that above all things. Sister I miss u nd I cry nd call for u every single night. Love, ur little brother Vinny

My Dolly Angelina,
You have been on my mind, in my mind very strongly these last few months. Wondering about you, missing you desparatley. I go out to the club very often now, becasue i know you come to me there always. There, In the quite of nature all around me, your images and voice, and all my wonderful moments with you come alive. I see you in the break of day from my duck blind, as the clouds part and the sun peeks out to reveal you. I see you from inside the clubhouse in the pouring rain.
Your two sisters and Brother are longing for you always, but my baby, i know that you are very much aware of that.
Just know that not a moment of every single day goes by without thoughts and Love for you.
With all of our Love,
Papa

My Sweet Angelina,
Merry Christmas to you,Dolly from all of your Family.
It is one of the most difficult times of the year for us all.
I miss you so desparatley and so profoundly... we all do.
The thin space that lies between us keeps us always aware of our separation. As you know, your spirt is always around us....always, and provides us the smallest, most intimate attachment to you. Every sound, every smell, gives me a trace and awareness that you are near...yet so far.
There is no Joy, no rest, no fulfillment to my life untill I see you again. The only small bit of comfort that is available is the knowledge that our Loving Jesus has his arms wrapped around you and you him......As you cheerfully and lovingly greet others that are passing and moving towards you.
Happy Birthday and Merry christmas my sweet Angel.
Daddy

Ang,
You have been in my mind for a while now. I'm been thinking of you and your family, especially Gianna and Vince! I had the pleasure to meet those loving children of God and know that they are so lucky to have a sister like you. Vince is adorable and has a love for life, just like you. I have always loved you and admired your personality and your ability to love anyone 10 times more than they can imagine. Our DV family misses you and I know you are all looking down with your high spirits with your contagious laugh and smile.

Thinking of you,

Jessica Fajardo aka..."RugRAT!"
02 you know!

Angie,

I knew you once. It was Jack London Elementary School and you were my first crush, a crush that lasted until the eight grade, when I moved away.

Over the years I stayed in touch with a few friends from home, but not you, because I don't think we were ever what people would call close - we didn't talk much, we didn't hang out after school, I doubt we were invited to most of each other's birthday parties. But you were always close to me; I treasured the thought of you in my heart in a secret and personal pre/early adolescent way way that I could never share with anyone.

After I moved, we met one more time. It was high school and I was visiting Dave, my best friend from home. I hadn't seen you in a couple of years, and you were stunning. Your smile radiated a welcoming warmth that I'd almost forgotten and your eyes still projected the intelligence that had made me admire the smartest kid in class when I younger. You were still so sweet, smart, and funny; I was still so awkward, and we never spoke again after that day.

Last night, I had a dream about you. The details are hazy even though I only woke up an hour ago - all I remember is that in the dream we met again and you still had that same smile. When I woke up I was so struck by the thought of this girl with whom I'd had no contact for years, I though "Well when I was a kid, I always watched her from far away. I might as well keep going," and I googled your name in search of a MySpace, a Facebook, something to tell me about what you had become.

Instead I found the Davis Wiki in your memory. It was a shock - this was all of twenty minutes ago, it's still a shock - but I made myself finish reading the entry. And by the end, I was smiling and even now, I'm smiling through tears. Because I read about the amazing things that you did, because I always thought "Angie will do something, she's so smart, one day she'll do something important," and that was such a big part of why I had this puppy dog love for you. And you did, you went on and did important things and touched people and made the world, as much as you could, a better place.

I'm sorry I'm so many years late to say goodbye. But I'll always love your memory as a ten year old boy loves the girl on the other side of the classroom.

Every time I think your not here you show me a sign. Today I met a woman that had a tattoo on her arm. When I asked what was the meaning of the 2 symbols on her forearm, she said "No Regrets". Wow!!! Thank you once again my girl. Love Mommy

Hey sissy girl:
I've been missing you like crazy lately. Funny actually, remember when you worked the Little Champs Sports Camp and I went with you for a session? There was a set of twins in that same session named Nick and Jessica that you absolutely adored! & I just found out the other day that they go to my school. I see them around a lot now. I picked up my phone to dial your number because I was SO excited about it, but then I remembered: You can't answer. That's okay though, you know now. I've been looking at pictures of you in high school and it feels like I'm looking in the mirror. I am finally starting to see the resemblance. ;) Well my love for you never stops, and the void in my heart will never be filled. - Take care up there Big Dog.

Dear Angelina,
I think About You More Each and Everyday. I went To Your Birthday Party Last Night, and Your Dad Gave A Speech. It Was So Loving and true,. it Almost Made Me Cry. I Remember the Last time Is Saw You. It Was The Day I Had Spent The Night At Vincie And Giannas House And you Were there. It Was A Sunday, I Think, And You Would Be Leaving To UC Davis The Next Morning. You, me, and Daniella All Took A Nice Bikeride together.....My Last Great Gift Of Seeing You. I Knew It Was One of he Greatest Gifts God Could Have Given Me. when We Went home And You Packed Your stuff And Drove Off. As You Left Me And Vince And Gianna Were All Outside, And You Slowed Down, Looked At Us And Said, " Bye Guys, Love You!" And We Said in Return, " Love You Too, Bye!!" not Knowing I Would be the Last Words I Would Say To You. But They Were Good Last words, And i Meant It. i Love You Ang. And miss You everyday. I Love You With All My Heart. Always and Forever.

Hi Dolly:
Happy Birthday Sweetheart. What a wonderful day this is...it's the day when you came into this world and brought your mom, dad and entire family all of the joy in the world. The joy swelled with each and every day that you touched family and friends. Your love of people and life endures and we feel your presence and loving touch more than ever. I am so happy to be celebrating this special day with your family tonight. Thank you for bringing your daddy and me back together. I missed him for such a long time. The moments that he and I share are special and sweet. We have a bond that can never be broken thanks to you. I love your toothy smile; your curly hair and your sparkling eyes. I pray that God will see fit to allow me to see you again in the most special of all places. I thought that you might enjoy this picture of your dad and me.
All my love,

My dear sweet Angelina,

I was there the day you were born. Your old St. Louis connection. You were a tiny spitfire even then. It's hard to believe that was 25 years ago. Your birthday is coming up & it makes me reflect back on those days. I know you are keeping watch over us all. I love you & miss you. Kathy

Just wanted to write you to let you know I brought in your lamanated picture that has the picture of you in the yellow sweatshirt that says "Forget Regrets or Tomorrow is yours to lose." into the voting booth with me to vote NO ON 8! I thought you would want to be there, and it was funny because you totally drew me to you that morning. I miss you. Happy Holidays, can I say that yet? Vanessa tells me it's too early. Stay close.

Angelina,
I was shocked this morning when I just recently found out what happened to you. I recently ,moved and in doing so I was setting up my pictures and I still have the one of you running down the hall at Girls State with a big smile on your face. Whenever I get the chance I google your name to see what exciting things you might be doing because you were going to go places and I knew you would be something.

I remember the day I met you at Girls state, you were so outgoing and friendly and knew so much. I knew you were friend to hold onto. I'm sorry that I never went to visit you like I said I would. I still read the e-mails we used to send eachother occasionally. I am so sorry that this happened and I wish I would have known sooner. I can't believe someone with so much light is no longer here. But I have your picture that I will never take down and will keep as a reminder to live life to the fullest as you had. I hope you have found peace and that you know all the lives you have touched near and far. I miss YOU!

angelina,

so i was sitting at panera today and someone on the phone said something about picking up gianna, and i thought of you and your family.

so here i am. and in looking back, my last entry here was exactly a year ago today. you know as well as i do how much has been going on, and i don't nearly come see you as much as i want to.

i've been writing a lot more lately, and i'm also directing a play at school next year (but of course you already knew that). It's going to be a tough run, we open on my advisor's birthday and closing friday is on your birthday.

you never broke your promise, you told me you'd be at every show.

i miss you and love you everyday.

There was once a little ladybug who had a heart of pure gold for those who would behold, she radiated a kind of glow... she'd do kind deeds like planting flower seeds where ever she would reside- spreading beauty far and wide in the countryside... as if meant from Heaven to be sent, to spread love was her single intent... one day a spider who lived in a Wood, and heard about the little bug's nature to do such good weaved a pair of wings from the finest lace to match this ladybug's grace... and for all to see as a sign for whom it was meant, that a life of compassion is most noble spent.

Hello Our Little Lady Bug, I just wanted you to know, I know you were with me last week when I was swimming in my pool. It was so nice of you to land on my shoulder, and hang with me while I was swimming. I so miss and love you so much! Uncle Joe even told me you paid him a visit while he was golfing not too long ago. It's nice to know you are thinking of us, as we are ALWAYS thinking of and missing you! We all love you Lina Rose!

Luv, Auntie Joni

Dear Vincent Malfitano
Its very hard for those of us left behind to see even a little joy when someone we love leaves this earth early in their life. Yet we may find much joy in knowing how much longer their stay in heaven will be with our Lord and the Saints. May The Great Saint Michael The Archangel Protect all whom you love, All whom you meet and All whom you touch, here on earth and in Heaven.
God Bless you.

When ever I'm lost in that down mood, I always find my way here. Angelina's smile is contagious, it makes you forget about this material world and all its head ache..And before i could log on here, I was at a wedding over the weekend as the newlywed walked down the isle to exit, There was this woman singing one of my favorite song In acapella by Luther "So Amazing" She sang it so good, made me fell like Stella when she got her groove back. I had to return the favor and give that girl her Prop! I told her that was beatiful you did Luther proud, she smiled and thank me..she through down, i'm glad i went..smiles were contagious on that day,like Angelina's....Love has truly been good to me..

Hey Angelina! It sure has been awhile since I've written but I've been thinking a lot about you and everyone back home lately. Life is kind of stressful at the moment, and Im starting to feel a little homesick. But whenever I think of you and Hannah it always brightens my day. Did you know she still remembers you? When I was living at home she would see your picture on my desk, and say "Auntie D-dan-gellina!" She always gets your name mixed up with Daniellas! Well anyways, I just wanted to say I miss you very much but I feel your presence here in the apartment all the time! And when I feel you here at the apartment, I feel a little less home sick.

Vanessa Turner

Hi my Angelina, I have been thinking of you and missing you a lot lately. I had a slight breakdown in Chicago cause 1: I know you would have been there and 2: cause I was looking at pictures of you from when you were little (when I met you) and how much I wish you were here with us still. All that being said I am so so so grateful to have had you in my life and so happy that I can look back with love and fun and so many memories.
You were such a good girl; I always called you my over-achiever.
Please look over your lil sis, Daniella, as I know she is missing you right now especially.
What are the chances that we went to Bobby Falay's (sp?) restaurant on your 21st and Rick Bayliss' on Daniella’s? You Malfitanos and your Cooking Network!!!!!.

Anyways, Ang, I wish I could feel your warm hugs around my waist and see your beautiful green eyes and smile.
I do want you to know, I will always cherish every moment with you, especially your last memorial day bbq, all sitting around the table laughing at Isabella saying "an-he-lina" and calling her daddy "Arthur". We were all making eye contact with amazement in our eyes. How could we possibly be blessed with more love than we already had?
I am so blessed with this life, and even though we have lost you, I am so grateful, every day, to call you my sister. I love you, Ang, love you, love you, love you.

Angelina,
Just the mentioned of your name invokes deep, deep sorrow, and an Intense Love that will both, never, ever deminish.
You are forever inbedded in my heart and my soul.
I am, who I am because I knew you....Just simply because of You.
With all my Love,
Daddy

Hey Sis.
Well looks like my new PE teacher is Jessica Fajardo, she used to play basketball with you. She came up to me the other day after class and said, "Are You A Malfitano?" And then she continued and told me that she knew you, and what a great girl you were. Amen to that. So I think this is going to be a good year. Watch over Daddy for me ok? I Love You.

Wishing You Were Here,

Angelina,
I know I didn't see or talk to you much over the last couple of years, but the other night I was cleaning out a drawer and came across some letters from Gina. She was talking about GJAM NGLU and how different high school was from middle school. I remember playing softball with you and my Dad coaching our team. I remember all the nights at the Daley's house and us singing or reciting one of GJAM NGLU's songs. I'm sorry we lost touch but you and your family are in my thoughts, prayers and heart.

Hey Sissy.
I really miss you. I wish you were here. Well Ang I just got back from camp. It was soo amazing, life changing you could say. I met the most incredible people, did things I never thought I would. Next summer, Im pretty sure I would like to go for about five weeks. I know you were there with me. Keep it real sis.

Love Love Love.

So many of us at times when things just aren’t going our
Way having a negative streak. We seem to pose that question
In our mind and eventually to our father in Heaven. Why me?
Why me father, emotion over comes you to the point
Tears is rolling down your cheeks…Could I we be honest.
When was the last time, that we ever said a thank you prayer?
To our father in heaven with the same emotion. So grateful
That in our heart you feel like the most bless individual on
Gods green earth, and your so over whelm you just can’t hold
Back your tears and you’re thanking the good Lord for all of his
Blessing in your life for many of his blessing you feel that your
not worthy, and yet humbly thank thy. I used to remind my kids
all the time when they were down on there luck. There is always
Someone out there in the world worst off then you. Its been a long
time since that last reminder…And no I’m neither rich or wealthy.
but my home cars and bank accounts has its value. The wealth of
Love I have in my heart is priceless. I’m almost 42, and if it could
be possible. I would trade what ever years left in my life just so my
13-year-old cousin “Hope” could live a life independent from her
Wheelchair. She was born with spinal muscular atrophy….Be
thankful be grateful. Do you know what “all” the lucky angles in
Heaven are saying deep in there heart and soul. Thank you father
thank you thank you…..thank you for allowing me here, for me
this site is a sanctuary. Sites like these help reenergize this Old Souljah.

“SLHB” Princess, I didn’t forget birthday, I have my reason.
Always,
D~

Dear Lina Rose, we are hurting so badly right now. I have been praying and praying to god and you for strength to get through this yet another difficult time. I know you know Gabby is gone, and I am hoping she is with you and Geena, jumping, running, licking, simply playing and at peace with you in heaven. I know how much you loved her and we all are lost without her as we are without you. She was a part of me, and I don't know how to be strong and be better for the girls who are also hurting. I couldn't wait to come home from Italy to see her, hold her, smell her play with her. Please do those things for me and help all of us here in our house be strong. I know she's with you now, but I was not ready to let her go she was only 1 1/2.. We were supposed to take family photos with her when we got back from Italy, now all we have are memories. Please give my baby girl love from her mommy, daddy and sissys! We love you Lina, and we miss you! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU GABBY GIRL R.I.P.

Our family is not complete without you. Our holidays just arent as fun and vibrant.Im sure your up there with Geena and my cousin Aaron so if you see them could you hug'em for me. Please watch over all of us Lina and help guide me through this complicated "LIFE" Until we meet again cuz I LOVE YOU!

Hello my beautiful Angel.... I miss you so so so much... you are constantly on my mind. Although we did not spend too much time together, you have forever been an impact upon me as well as my sister. I now regret being so closeminded and stand-offish with you at times.... and I apologize... every time i think of you, I apologize. I hope you know how much you meant to all of us. You continue to inspire us each day. We talk about you constantly, introduce you to everyone who has yet to meet you or hear of you. I always remember my birthday in Vegas... and those extra shots of 151 you asked the bartender to put in our yard sticks!!!! And watching my brother dance for the first time ever to "Brick House". oh...=)Angelina, please watch over him. I have never seen him smile like the way he used to smile while in your pressance. He talks about you and YOUR love all the time. Give him guidance as he journey's through the path of his life. I hope to see you in my dreams soon... so we can dance and sing and giggle and sip Malibu and eat ice cream till eternity's end. I love you always!!!

Angelina Rose....
What a day...not just anyday....but the day that marks your passing on, and a day that could only intensify the sadness, the despare, and the incredible sense of loss that we feel for you. As we gathered in church, Father Vicente spoke of you freely and lovingly. He praised you for your contributions to his church...his parrish. I listended with intense pride as well as the deep sadness we all feel. It will never get better...it's not suppose to. We are all altered significanley becasue of your incredible life, while at the same time we are deminished tremendously because of your abscense from our sight, our touch, our human grasp.

I hear your voice and see your face only in my mind and heart now....Still not ever able to understand why out Lord has taken you...and left us all wondering...wandering.....and longing for you.
Life on this earth will never, can never, ever be the same for us, for one our lambs has wondered away.
I pray that our Christ will continue to hold you and fill you full of his love.......
Help him so that his will be done, my Angel....

Daddy

Angelina, I miss your beautiful smile and your infectious laughter. Brittany, Vanessa and I were talking about you the other day...girl you still make a difference in peoples lives. I think of you often, but I always think of you when I hear the Band-uh! play Crazy Train. We know how much you loved playing and rocking out to that song. Of course, you're still rocking out :o)

Angelina,

One year ago today I was deep in the Georgia woods a world away from you. I guess it was a metaphor for what was to come, what is to be. As a new crop of Fellows prepare to start, your memory is alive and well at the Task Force. We've honored you at several trainings and events and Moof and I talk about you constantly. Just the other day we were trying to figure out why you--unlike other folks--left such an indelible mark on those you met and things you touched. Not just why, but why in such short time frames were you able to connect with and touch every person, every project and every thing you came into relationship with. What an honor it was to be your colleague and your friend. You continue to teach me each day. I miss your TANGiness. I miss you.

Love,

Sarah

Good morning my girl. Today you have been gone for 1 year. Thank you for all the signs you have showed to me this last year. I want you to know that mommy still see's your beautiful smile. I can hear your voice saying I'm okay, really I am. I love you Angelina.
Forever Mommy

It has almost been a year since God called you home. I have been dreaming about you and missing you a lot a lot. It is also the time of year that all of the beautiful ladybugs are coming out. Every time I see one I think of you, say hello to you and Thank God that your spirit is still with us in so many ways. Thank you for continuing to show us all that you are still with us.
