I remember the day Angela was born. I believe one of God's gifts to us is our memories and I thank Him for blessing me with so many precious memories of Angela. She touched us all and will live in our hearts until we get to be with her again when we go Home. So for now, we lay our Sweet Angela to rest in the arms of Jesus... healthy, happy and whole. I pray that He will dry all of our tears and give us peace. Love, Aunt Jan

Angela helped God to refine me. She brought up and cleared out much of the dross. And, she was often the mirror the Lord used to show me what was in my heart, good and bad. My sister is the reason I have a deeper love, compassion, mercy, and sense of responsibility toward others. She's blessed me with two precious neices and nephews, many memories, and a ministry I'm only just now beginning to understand. I long to see her in heaven and to present her with the fruit that has and will come from the extraordinary seeds she planted in my life.
