May The Most High CREATOR be pleased with my Sisterfriend's life. "Angie" was a very special person. She could be serious and humorous simultaneously. Angie had a zest for living, and was a champion for the underdog. Angie was loved and shall be missed.

The day God called her home
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw her tired face.
He put his arms around her
And lifted her to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
God knew that she was suffering
He knew she was in pain
He knew that she would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough.
And the hills are hard to climb,
So He closed her weary eyelids
And whispered Peace be thine.
It broke our hearts to lose her
But she didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
That day that God called her home
Love always,
Margaret and James

James and I were saddened and our hearts broken when we heard of the passing of Angie. The thought of never seeing her again brings tears to our eyes. And even more so, because all of this was such a surprise. So as we sit here and mourn the loss of a beloved friend and cousin, we have to keep telling ourselves that we will see our dear friend and cousin again.
