I just recently found out that an ex co worker of mine, Angel passed away a year ago. Although we only worked togethr for 3 months, we were in training for Santa Clara County back in 1991, and we were dispersed to different offices, 3 months were enough for me to never forget Angel again. She helped us survive this training with her laughter, and spirit, and everytime I would think about this horrible rigid training, I thought about Angel, and her goofiness in class. May she forever rest in peace, and I am so sorry for her familys' lost.

Angel, you were the sister anyone would have wanted to have, you gave me my first vinyl, first bite of cheesecake & was shocked that I didn't like it, as of today, I love it and think of you whenever I have a piece. You also took me on my first airplane ride to San Diego and my first Prince concert, not knowing I'd become a fan later on. I also had my first roller coaster ride with you as well as the first bumper car ride. Later on, as a result of your playful antics I also got to have my first swim at night, of course, fully dressed in my PJ's. Sneeking into the R movies was also a blast for someone my age.
I remember you, Dee and I, playing board games at the end of the hall and other nights laying on your waterbed watching movies & eating popcorn, or going downtown, cruising while the music blasted away in your car, seriously, I didn't think my ears would stop ringing... but whatever we did, hanging out with you was always a breath of fresh air, for me.
Looking back, as an older sister, I know you tired to protect me, I wish I could have told you, that you never let me down. You did not fail me. Those one on one talks we had... I get it now. I want to thank you for being the sunshine in my life at that time. I've missed you terribly.
I also want to thank you Dee, for all the love you shared with her and for the true joy you brought to her life.
Angel, though this life kept us apart all these years, you have always and will continue to be a part of me.
I have never stopped loving you.

To my baby sister,Angel: I am sorry I was not able to bring myself to speak at your rosary. I feel that i couldn't do you justice. I have always admired your charisma and talent for walking into a room and owning it.I will miss your smile and beautiful eyes. I was honored to have held your hand as you left us. Big hugs and kisses to Mama Chielita, Mema and all those we miss and love. I pray someday to hold your little hands again.
Thank-you to all my family we held each other up during those difficult last days (Rosemary,Yoli,Yvette,Marti and Zynthia). Dee and Julio we love you.
Baby set up your DJ equipment for us and start the party "May Angels Lead You In".
To our sis Rosemary we made it through together. Love you forever

I didn't have the courage to speak at my cousin’s rosary or funeral and know she is going to give me hell for that when I finally get to see her again. So this is my last chance.
I just wanted to express how truly fortunate I was to have had the relationship I had with my cousin. She is the reason I have turned into the woman I am. Our timing for becoming close was perfect. She was becoming her true self and needed unconditional love and I had nothing but that to give, she was my older cousin I absolutely adored and her love for life was contagious. It just seemed whenever we were together life was good. We had so many good times, she was always there to protect me, take me in when needed and guide me in life. Teaching me the importance of hard work, to ALWAYS be strong and never take life to serious.
I know Angel had special relationships with everyone single person who came into her life, this is based on our deeper moments when she would confide in me about how she felt about things going on in her life. She loved her mom, brother and sisters more than they will ever know. Her nieces, nephews and Fabian truly meant the world to her because they were the younger generation that she wanted to protect and she would always accept without judgment hoping for each of them to become whatever they wanted in life as long as they were happy.
Angel has always surrounded herself with many friends and extended family who also meant the world to her, unfortunately some still haven't received word of my cousins passing and a lot just weren’t able to attend services. I have received lots of calls and texts expressing how much they also loved Angel and wished they could be there to give her one last hug and kiss goodbye. I know she is watching over us and believe she is very aware of how many people’s hearts she touched and how loved she was. I know Angel will never be forgotten and that's exactly how she wanted it.
Special Thanks:
To all my close friends, Thanks for being there and for all your support! To Rosemary, Linda, Rosendo, Marti, Tia Lupe, Fabian Dee and Julio we will always have that special time of spending Angel's last days together and we will see each other more often and all take part in Fabian’s life in memory of Angel. To my mom, brothers and sister I will love you always.

Dear Aguilera Family,
I'm so sorry for the loss that you are living through. Angel and I worked together for many years and as we worked together we came to be friends that laughted together, a lot! Angel was a very special person, she was one of the most loving people that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She was beautiful, inside and out, and she will forever be in heart. Thank you for sharing all the pictures at the rosary tonight, they were wonderful.

With great sadness I remember my cousin Angel's birthday today. I am still trying to accept this tragedy. We were close as children and teenagers and I miss her laughter and how fun she was. I know that she is in peace at last and surrounded by family like my Tata and Tia.
I want to send my love to Rosemary, Mike, Linda, Rosendo, Marti and Sasha, know that I am thinking of you.
Happy Birthday Angel, I love you very much.

Today would have been our baby sister Angel's 43rd birthday. Her death has torn our hearts wide open. I would like to thank Dee and Julio for making us at home in their beautiful home in Arizona. They were constantly at our side the whole time we were at the hospital and the hospice. Angel was so blessed to have a best friend like Dee for so many years. Dee's husband Julio is a wonderful man that we have come to love like a brother.
Thank you so much to cousin Zynthia who came with us to Arizona to be at Angel's side until the end. Zynthia, for the rest of my life I'll remember you were with us- I'll always remember our common birthdays- and I'll never forget how we all helped hold each other up. You'll never know how much Angel loved you and we do too.
Our baby Angel is surrounded by her late brothers, uncles, aunts and cousins, her Grandpa and both her Grandma's. Angel, we love you to Heaven and back.
Love, Your big sis- Ro

My dear friend Angel came into my life when I was only 18 years old and I never knew what an impact she would have on my life. Angel was a very caring and loving soul and I will never forget her! Angel walked into that music store where I worked and we started chatting about music, that woman LOVED music! She was the inspiration for a lot of the music I listen to today. She was so good at what she did that I had her DJ my wedding and a company party. Shortly after that I lost contact with my friend Angel and had regreted that moment forever but I did think about her often, wondering what have ever happened to her. Several years later I started working at a company in Palo Alto where I met a wonderful person and became to know her very well, she had Angels same spirit and soul. In short, this person that I have a wonderful friendship with turned out to be Angel's cousin. I did not realize that for the past 4 years I had known Angels cousin and how truly close I was to Angel. The unfortunate part is that it was too late when I found Angel. Her cousin and I realized that I had known Angel so many years ago and that the reunion I had wished for would never be. I know you are looking down on us Angel laughing about this and how such a small world we truly live in. My heart is with you and only memories of what could have been linger...I miss you and love you and there will not be a day that goes by that I don't think about you...rest in peace my Angel.

I love you very much Angel and someday we will meet again, until then I know you will be still watching me & watching over my family. With lots & lots of love. - Dee, Julio, Nick & Diego
