I’ve known Angela for over 21 years and I would say that she is one of the most giving people that I have ever known. She was always giving me useful things that I could use and be thankful for. I still have many of those items and am still using them.
She was also one of the most considerate people I have ever known. She was always concerned about others, how they were doing, if they needed anything. She would always go out of her way to try and be a blessing and help to others.
I think those are the two most outstanding things I admired about her, and the two things that were probably the greatest sample to me of someone truly living these Christian principles. But there was so much more about her that was good and positive that I don’t think I could even list it all.
She was almost always very cheerful and fun to be around. Her name used to be “Joy” for awhile, and she really lived up to that name. Her spirit was full of joy and happiness and she enjoyed being a help in any way that she could find to be.
Her passing is going to be a tremendous loss to those she would have yet come in contact with if she were still walking the Earth, as her desire was always to bring something good into the lives of those who crossed her path, and to show them the Lord’s love in some way. I know she will now be such a tremendous help to many from beyond the veil, but we here will so very much miss her presence while we remain in this life, which is unfortunate for us.
In a way, it’s fitting that she gave her life as she lived it, trying to help someone else. Now she is truly living up to the name we most recently knew her by: Angela has become an angel. She was an angel here while she was with us, and now she is an angelic being that is truly “out of this world”!
