So very sorry to hear of the loss of such a sweet and kind young lady. My family met Angela in June, in Erie PA., when she photographed an event for my daughter. She was such a sweet person and just lovely. Our deepest sympathies to her husband and all of her family and friends.

I was shocked and saddened to learn about Angela's death. Although I did not see her often, when I did see her I always came away impressed by what a beautiful and good person she was. I have had the opportunity to know some of her friends who admired and loved her. I know it was her strong faith that made her the lady she was. May God give you comfort at this time of great loss. Love to all of you. Aunt Judy (Judy Mumau)

Mike,

It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,

Dear heather and Josh, as well as kim and leroy: My hands can't even write the extent of sorrow I feel at this time and send out a loving outstretched hand at this great time and sorrow for angie, a young soul gone to soon. I remember playing with her on terrace st ext as a child and her little "curly haired" brother. Even though we lost touch, I will always remember seeing her at kings and other places from time to time and it was like no time had lapsed at all. May you find peace in god and the strength to get through these tough times. Hold onto the fleeting memories and smile in her rememberance.

As Angela's co-worker I got the enorumus priveledge of getting to see her on a daily basis and it would alwyas bring a smile to my face. She will be greatly missed by all who came in contact with her. My heart goes out to her entire family.

Mike and family,
All of Mike's former classmates are praying for him during this time of unspeakable tragedy. What keeps running through my head is a song I love from Church, "better is one day in your courts, better is one day in your house, better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere."
Love,

Heather and Josh, we have spoken every day since Angela's passing and no matter how hard I try to express in words trying to ease your pain, or my sincere offer of sympathy to the family and trying to express in words the deep sorrow I feel from my broken heart to Josh and asking you to hug Angela's Husband and Josh's your parents and all you family. Its not enough, words no matter how kind and heartfelt are not enough at a sad time like this, but when you and Aunt Jody shared with me the simple things the kids are doing for thier Aunt Angela and how hard they are taking the loss but at the same time the little things that Angela has imprinted on thier young hearts the beauty of a ladybug, the butterfly, the beauty of a common wildflower the daisy with the beauty of a rose together. Thats the answer fom the actions of children, they will show my emotions of grief and sorrow by giving hugs and sheding tears and as Aunt Jody said the bond between a Parent and Child ,I will feel thier hugs in my heart and the tears they shed while hugging Angela's husband and Josh your parents and all your family every time from this day fourth any one close to Angela that see's a butterfly, or a lady bug or the flowers, your seeing Angela. I cant see thru the my tears but I know God will be thier today and tomorrow next to Angela's love ones but know this I am the guy sitting next to him. God Bless

You are in my thoughts in this trying time for you. Angela was way too young to be taken from this earth so soon.

I was shocked to hear about Ang. Although I haven't seen her in almost a decade, she left a great impression on my heart. She was a loving and caring woman who will be missed immensely, by everyone she encountered. Those that didn't get a chance to meet her, missed out on an amazing woman. My deepest sympathy goes out to her entire family. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

When i first met Angela, I immediately noticed a glow to her,the radiance of an Angel. Though I didn't know her long, her sense of humor, her gentlness, her ability to offer comfort,all came so naturally to her. Such an unforgettable personality. I thank God for the opportunity to have met her, and I know he has a great plan for her. My Sympathy goes to Mike and family.

Mike,

My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

I had the pleasure of working with her. My memories of her will always be the young lady that could get your day off to a good start with a smile or a joke. When I rescently lost my brother she was a great friend and confidante.

With her passing we have all lost someone very precious. I take solice in the fact I believe we've all gained a new guardian angel.

Dear Mike,
As a student of Angela's I opted to not take digital photography last term, I took the course this term with 2 others. When I met your wife I knew that there was something very special about her and I couldn't put my finger on it, but when I completed a 24 hours My Way. I realized the extent of her compassion, empathy, non-judgemental. I thought that I'd never like to take pics like I did back in the day. She helped me realize that even though I didn't have much power with my little camera, and she taught me how to work with the camera that I had. I loved the trip to Presque Isle, she was taking pics on her phone to send to someone. She was always thinking of others. I know when she met Jesus in heaven his words to her would be "Well done my faithful servent. Go and recieve your crowns, and your Whole Glorified Body in the kingdom of heaven your mission is now complete."
Please accept my deepest heart felt sympathies for you and Angelas family.
Rest In Peace

My heart broke when I heard about the news of Angela's illness on Monday and Tuesday was a day like no other. Mike and family I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Angela and I had a great heart to heart a couple of weeks ago and I hold that memory as what I remember of Angela... a kind caring, giving, person who I will never forget. I cried myself to sleep Tuesday, but I don't think Angela would hae wanted it that way. She would want us to keep our faith in God and know there is a higher mission for her.
My deepest sympathies,
Lisa Peszel
