I am deeply saddened by the passing of your dear mom. It´s been years since I´ve seen her but I remember so well growing up all the gatherings at your house on the lake for countless summers filled with food, laughter, and love. I will always treasure those times together. I´m in Florida and unfortunately will not be able to attend services. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to the family. Angie was a very special person. She made everyone feel like you were part of the family. Boy, could she cook!! She taught me how to make spaghetti sauce with fresh picked tomatoes. I have such fond memories of Mike and Angie. My heart aches for all of you. God bless all of you. Rest in Peace, dear Angie.
