Angie was a very passionate, strong, and fearless woman who I had the honor of knowing. She welcomed me into her arms and her home and more importantly into her family. She was very opinionated (lol) always had something to say but she wanted the best for everyone and was very supportive of me even times of anger or misunderstandings. I always appreciated her dominance. She never accepted things that were not right. No matter who or what it was if she didn't agree than she would give hell until it was corrected and made right. Being her daughter in law was a blessing for me. Yes, she and I definitely had our head bumps. We are both strong and stubborn but with big hearts. I love her so much. I can honestly say that Angie and I had a true and genuine relationship. We loved each other, we accepted each other, we disagreed with each other and yes we've even gotten mad and upset with each other. Anyone who knows Angie would say" God forbid if she doesn't get her way" because that's how determined she was. It was never even a thought. It was second nature for her. I always believed that if Angie had the opportunity to do something so much more, bigger than she ever thought, she would conquer. Looking back now I am so thankful for her, she raised some damn good boys. Her family was her devotion. Her heart reached far and beyond reaching children from other places and homes that needed the extra hand of her grace. Nuffie and Angie together expanded their love to so many people. Even in their own times of struggle they still came together and touched the lives of many. That's something that I will never forget. Even in our headbutting times, Angie and Nuffie were always there for their children and even more so for their granddaughters. I smile now because I realized how similar we are. Woman to woman I recognize the struggles that she overcame, as a wife, as a young mother especially to a house and surroundings were she was outnumbered by the men. She thrived and stood tall amongst them. She was the backbone that always pushed them hard for what they deserved and for what they wanted to achieve. She never accepted anything less of them. She was proud of her boys. Proud of her roots and proud of her family. I'm definitely going to miss many things about her and miss her presence. She had a fastest smart mouth I ever did hear. She could cut you down or bring you up in a sentence so fast by the time you hear it and catch it it's been said over and done with.
Angie, you will be missed and forever loved. Family is forever no matter what. My girls share your bloodline,your honor and you will forever be in our hearts. May you rest in peace Angie and watch over us. I love you.
