She was one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. We met when we both worked at GraceMed and were instant friends. One of my favorite memories was when we -although in the same town- FaceTimed so we could see each other’s fur babies! My love goes out to all her family and friends. She will be missed.
Angie always had a bright smile for me when I saw her. She had a way of making me laugh. She will be missed greatly.
So sad to hear of Angie’s passing. She will be missed. Praying for peace.
Lonnie and I are so very sorry for the loss of Angie. She was a beautiful soul. May she be at peace and flying with the angels. Hugs to all of the family. Sorry we couldn’t make it but you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
