Dear Dori and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. You are all so blessed to have such a loving and generous Mom like Angie. I have such wonderful memories of the family gatherings at Angies house and feel grateful to have been included.

Dear Jerry, Chris, Dana, Colin, Deanna, Dori, Pat and Mike, God bless you and comfort you in your loss of Angie. I wish I could be there and I wish I could have spent more time with Aunt Angie and all of you. Angie was remarkable, spunky, and amazing. Your entire family is wonderful and so blessed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all, Kathy and Steve Jolliffe (in Olympia, Washington)
Angie was like a second mother to me growing up in College Hill. As a classmate with Dana, I have many many memories of going to the house after grade school to play. I will always remember how beautiful Angie was, but also I remember her compassion and warmth she gave to everyone. What a blessing it was to have her in my life at that time. As with Jerry and the children, we too will miss her dearly.
Dear Jerry and family, My sincere sympathy and grief goes to you all on the devasting loss of your beloved Angie. I know how you feel, as I lost my wonderful wife of 45 years just last week. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Dear Jerry and family, Angie was our real estate agent and friend for 25 years. She helped us through some of the toughest times in selling and buying our numerous homes over the years. She put up with us when others probably won’t have. Her knowledge, compassion and advise was always comforting and helped to keep us strong. Angie will definitely be missed by Ron and I. We loved her dearly.
Jerry, the Valadez family wants convey our condolences on your great loss. Lou & Connie Valadez
