"She has slipped the bonds of earth to touch the face of God". Ronald Reagan (speaking of the Challenger Tragedy.

Aunt Angie would probably laugh at being remembered with a quote from a republican president, but it is so appropriate.

Aunt Angie,

Your chicken soup with "ginger" was always a treat. I enjoyed our dinners together with Aunt Fran at many Chinese buffets around Binghamton. Thanks to you and Angie's Tours, my parents could take Jim and I to Florida. We had many fond memories on those vacations. You will always be in my love and prayers.

Angie and I worked together at IBM. She was such a ball of fire-- working hard, talking and always smiling. She loved her children, grandchildren and family. After we both left there and I would see her out around town- she was still the same. Always happy, glad to see you and ready for a good chat! Rest in Peace, Angie. We will miss you.

Our deepest condolences go out to all of Angie's family. I worked with Angie at IBM and I was honored to have her in my car pool..if anyone truly knew Angie, she had a sense of humor beyond belief and told things as they were. We had many many laughs together, and that will be one of the saddest things that we will miss was her smile that she always had on her face. She was like a family member of ours. Angie has been greeted with open arms of our Lord and reunited with family and friends in Heaven who have passed away before her... Oh what a party that will be!!! Angie will be deeply missed by us all.
With our deepest sympathy, Donna & Greg Villanti
