R.I.P Angie,my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Rest in peace.

Angie's family you are in my thoughts and prayers. Angie and I were friends for many years as kids growing up together in Groton. Jimmy and I worked together at EB for years. She would call me at work to let know how things were going with Jimmy. She was a very caring and loving person and I will cherish those years.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Enjoyed our time working together, Angie. You are missed.
