I happened to see Vangie on Wednesday before she passed. I told her who I was and she said it had been a long time, so she knew I was there. She and McCoy helped a young couple w 4 children in brick home above theirs. No matter what I needed they always helped me. They were my guardian angels. I know God sent me there that day and am so glad .
