Not sure what to say?

I can not believe it has been a year, you are missed everyday.

My beautiful mother, how I miss you so much. Every day, I find myself wanting to call you after work just to hear your voice. I’d give anything to hear your infectious giggle again.

Words can’t express how much I miss you, but I take comfort in knowing you’re in a better place. I firmly believe that goodbyes aren’t forever, and I know we’ll see each other again. Until then, I will carry your love and memory with me always.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. You will be missed.

I knew Angela from work I translated for her so many times over the phone, she was always so patient and caring she transmitted peace and love to everyone she talked to. The 1st time I seen her in person she wall I had expected and more, a nice warmth hug and a smile on her face and that is how I will remember her. May she rest in peace

Angela is my brothers daughter. my wife and i loved her as our daughter. i pray for her soul and her family. Rest in peace Angela.

As with my sisters and the memories I have of childhood, it was far too long that we didn’t talk and be a part of each others lives. The 1 good thing that came of Covid for me, was you and I getting back in touch. Filling 32 years was a joy for me. You became my Confidant, helped me through Mom and other things, and I like to think I helped you, and tired to make you think in different ways through some things. A caring, generous, strong soul who loved her family heart and soul. I’ll miss...

My cousin Angela was a significant part of my childhood. Every summer was filled with sleep overs, swimming, movies, and walking to the neighborhood store where we would load up on candy. Her room was our fun place where we would sing songs to Grease and Xanadu over and over again. She was my friend, my fun, my secret keeper and we were very lucky to have one another. I will always remember her laughter and her caring nature. May she be in God's light shining down on all of her family. I...

To my beautiful cousin, Angela;
Instead of being sad, I choose to remember the days of family barbeques and swimming at your house, dancing in your room to the DeFranco family music, and when we had slumber parties at each other's house. Jacko and I wish you God's speed and eternal peace. God bless you, Ed, and your entire family. Love you

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
My life was better in knowing you.
Condolences to Ed and the family.
