Angela was a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother, niece, cousin, and friend. Her beautiful spirit and smile filled our hearts. Her personality was gentle, quite, and loving regardless of the situations. She had an intimate relationship with God that kept her sprits high in spite of her illness also a strong believer. She always found time to pray with others never thinking twice about herself. She was not complicated she appreciated her life and those that she shared it with. |
