Not sure what to say?

I've known Angie for over 20 years. We shared joy and we shared tears. She stood beside me on my hardest day. Most of all we shared grandchildren. She willed be missed. Hug my baby for me Angie and tell her all about the babies. Until we meet again rest easy my friend.

Angie was such a beautiful child and my sweet little niece. She stayed with her Grandparents quite often and we loved having her. So sweet and loving as a child. I'm sure she will be missed by her family and knowing she will be in heaven with her Mom and Grandparents will give us all a feeling of peace and joy. She was truly a blessing to all who knew and loved her.
