Ang, Angie-
My first memory of you was when I was just your little "bug" bothering you because I wanted to go wherever you were going. I think you went to the mall with your friends and you bought me two cassettes-don't worry be happy by Bobby Mc Ferrin and Michael Jackson. I have to say it must have been funny to see a 3 year old make her barbies sing to Dirty Diana and Man in the mirror.
You started my love for music so young. You took me to my first concert. You did those special things a big sister could...taking me shopping for my dorm, endless relationship and friendship advice, sunglasses, pocky books, pool time, on the border, little Christmas.
I was so proud of you...your art breathtaking...your educational accomplishments...your beauty.
Thank you being my big sister..you'll always be my miss America with those earrings.
Please hug daddy for me. I promise to watch and enjoy star wars. More importantly, I promise to share your beautiful art every chance I can especially with your nephew and niece.
I love you
Your Bug

Dear Angie, I'll think of you often. I'll miss you so much with your talents and gifts, you always brought out happiness- your mural paintings, in all your art works and the love and caring you showed everyone, but more so for your family and my family. Now, you're in a safe and protected place with your Dad. I love you "Leaky". -Uncle Dave

Angie, you always had a spark and a gentle heart. The world can be so cruel for a beautiful spirit that you were. But you shine anyway. You gave the city your beauty which will last a long, long time. Thanks for the great memories. I can still see you playing at my house in the field with my kids and nephews. I just close my eyes and remember and there you are, and always will be. Your smile I will always see. Your beautiful kind spirit will always be with us. Until we meet again. I love you Aunt Bonnie

Angie, you will be missed but not forgotten. Our hearts are heavy, and if love and prayers could have kept you with us, you would have been here forever. As we gather and search for the peace that will bring us comfort, and the courage to face the days ahead, I thank you for the many loving memories that I can hold on to. Rest easy with Dad in Eternal Paradise. When tomorrow starts without you I won't think we're far apart For everytime I think of you you'll be right here in my heart

Im so glad we talked, became good friends again...I always wondered about you after high school. I always wished nothing but the good for you.
When we talked and hung out after that it was as if 25 years never passed. Peas n carrots. Im going to miss your vibe. Because we do not forget the kids we grow up with. Thank you for being in my life...

Angela, you are a beautiful person inside and out. You have so many wonderful gifts and talents. Thank you for all the memories. I always enjoyed our visits and will cherish our trips to the beach, your visit to see me in VA, and all the lunches and shopping trips. You are one of a kind and you will be missed. While your presence here is gone, we know you are now an Angel and reunited with your dad and loved ones, having a good time. Watch over us ❤ love you and miss you

Angela -
I am thinking of when you accompanied me to see Les Misérables, after my Mom passed. You went in place of my Mom, and you lit up the room. I know you are shining bright with your Dad, our Grandmother, your Aunt Marilyn, our Aunt Loretta, and our cousin Joe. You are so loved.
Until we meet again.
Love Always.
