I just so happened to see Angelo's service on YouTube after watching church services all the way here in Hawaii. What a brave young man from what I have read. We certainly don't know what the future holds. So to his mom and dad and siblings. I encourage you today in The Lord. Angelo was healed not the way we think but whether it's this side of life or the other. One things for sure "Absent from the body present with the Lord." Be encouraged. God bless his Family, Loved ones and Friends

Even though we only knew each other by sight, he inspired me with his show of strength and determination as a young man of God. Mrs. Denise (Randy) Singh and Rev Richard Wilford you all are to be congratulated in the raising of such blessing from God. Thank you for sharing your blessing with the world. May God continue to bless and keep you and the family in his loving arms.

To: Pastor Richard Wilford and Family
My daughter and I are deeply saddened about the loss of "Angelo!" Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. As you said Pastor it is a bitter pill but can be swallowed. Take comfort in knowing that Angelo was an angel here on Earth, but now is safe, pain free, resting in the arms of his Heavenly Father.
He was anointed, appointed, designed by God as a messenger of unshakable #Faith, #Courage, and #Inspiration. He has captured the hearts of "The World"! He was a walking, talking, breathing miracle for eyes to see, and ears to hear! He was favored and blessed by #TheMostHigh! He completed his assignment! He was the epitome of #KeepFighting4It #DontComplain! I am in the hospital with my daughter as I type this! #SpiritOfAngelo all up in here!
Our lives, perspective, and way of thinking has changed 4ever! When the tears, whining, complaining start... We hit the pause button! I ask my daughter what would Angelo say or do? She said fist bump #KeepFighting4It #DontComplain! At 12 She is growing and maturing in this concept!
She got her wish to finally meet him because of your willingness to share Angelo and the transparency of his journey! I am so thankful. Her meeting him at Riley's was no incident or accident!
God sends what and who you need. Sharing in the event @ the Avalon , Skye's birthday , the basketball game, meant so much to her! It's the small things that mean the most!
Army4Angelo is 4 ever! #KeepItGoing I just feel so blessed to know you guys and be apart of and witness such a blessed and momentous campaign!
To God Be The Glory!
Praying for all of you! Pray for me! In spite of I hope I can attend Angelo's home going celebration! What's life and legacy for a 20 year old young man!❤❤❤❤
Love y'all To the moon and back!

To Pastor Wilford, You have my Deepest sympathy and Condolences. I just want you to know that your son was truly a fighter and inspiration to my life. Words really can't express what I'm feeling but just know that Angelo has fought a Good Fight and he kept the faith and his Crown is waiting for him. Just know that he is now safe in the Master's arms and as he would say "I may have cancer, but cancer don't have me" That is true, he just had to be a Testimony to all of us that in spite of what we go through God will heal and deliver us. He healed him and delivered his physical body from all the pain and suffering that he endured. He now has a new body and a new home. Yes, you will miss him but just remember as long as he is in your heart, he is never gone. Much Love to you and your family and may God continue to strengthen you each day and give you peace as you go through this Trying and Difficult time. Remember to hold to God"s Unchanging hand and you will see him again one day. Much love to you.
