Our dear sweet friend Angela,
It is so hard to try to put into a few words all that you have meant to us.
We both helped you pack up your home to move. You were so supportive of our marriage.
We got to know you through Prison Ministry at Groveland's Fully Alive Program every Tuesday evening.
For me, Loretta, you taught me so much. You gave me wings and taught me to be so much more than I thought of myself.
I think of the many hours we spent in your green van, driving back and forth to Groveland. The many times with my sister and Lourdes having dinner with you in your screened in porch. Your beautiful flower gardens. The stories of your parents and your brother and sister, and your neices and nephews.
I think of the many visits with you in the hospital, and what a fighter you were. You were so independent, compassionate, and loving. The many hours we would spend on the telephone. Always concerned about me and my needs and always asking if you could be of help to me.
The last time we spoke, we were going to get together in your new home in October. Our only regret is that we never got to do that.
I know you are so happy now reunited with your family and in the presence of your loving Lord. We will deeply miss you but always hold you in our hearts and feel your Spirit with us.
Goodby dear friend until we meet you in our heavenly home.
We love you,
Sammy and Loretta+
