What a dear and precious lady. True to her name she was once a precious Angel to me. 25 years ago, I had a horse training incident, was trapped and could have been dragged for who knows how long. The Lord sent Angel, she came out of nowhere, freed me from the horse and saddle and disappeared as quick as she came. I didn't know anything about her. Years later we met and she told me it was her that rescued me. She became very special to me, and I always cherished seeing her bright smiling face. All of us will miss you, but we will see you again in Heaven. She shared with me her personal testimony of knowing Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, Praise God!!! Condolences to the family!!

I was about 10 years old when Angel was born. I fell In Love with her the first time I saw her, and Aunt Beverly allowed me to hold her. From then on, I remember always searching her out at Family Reunions and making sure that I was right there with her and we would chase each other around. Of course, allowing her to win at tag since she was so little. Unfortunately, as I grew older and moved away, I lost track of her, but an Angel on Earth, is now an Angel in Heaven. She will always be with her Family, looking down from Heaven and Standing Beside Her Loved Ones when she is needed. You are Always Loved, Angel.

My fondest memory of Angel that she was a listener, and she always smiled. She was one of a few that gave me the time and the attention to burden her with my problems and situations she helped me get through stuff. She surely will be missed greatly in my Life. Wishing it was still a dream. My condolences to the family.
