I miss you mom hopefully everything is good up there and say hello to everybody for me and family

Angie was always like a mother to me.  She made me breakfast before taking me to practice, went to my games, brought me food home from the cafeteria she worked for, and always told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear.  My Angie was my soft place to land, but with her experience, she always gave me advice that helped me mature and grow.  And, just like my Angie, I need a little sweet after every meal.

In my last conversation with Angie, she told me she had a dream about when I was a little girl, and how I wanted to come over and visit and play with her.  It was so hard not being with my Angie, but she still called me to check on me.  I will miss her forever.  Angie was like Wonder Woman to me.


Angie,

You've always glowed with spirit and love,
I was blessed to have you from our Father above.
It was clear that your husband and children filled up your soul.
You were the heart of us all , we are no longer whole.
Your shy smile and kindness always welcomed me in.
As my mother-in-law, you showed me "family" again and again.
We spent so much time together raising Jenn, Ash and Brother.
You seemed to cherish every moment as if there was no other.
I learned so much from you and became a much better mom.
Put family first, love God and yourself and try to keep calm.
It's rare that you meet someone so sweet and easy to love.
My family and friends know that's why I call you "my dove".

I miss you so much Angie!
