Angela, Thank you for coming into my life and showing me that there are no limitations unless you set them. You were infectious with your nothing can stop me attitude that I will carry with me forever. I am sorry we will never get to take that row you invited me on or spend the weekend surfing. But I know you are rowing your way across wherever you are. R.I.P sister your duty is done its our turn to carry on what you started.
