Keri's Eulogy to Angie:
Angela is a fighter, a dreamer, my partner, my sister, my best friend,
and a mother to Cole. She is my source of confidence, encouragement, and
my source of strength. She taught me the importance of living and to
face life's challenges bravely. For 12 years she was my pillar and my
partner. Now that she is gone, I feel half of my life & soul has gone
with her. But I am very thankful that she passed away peacefully and
happy. As I go on the journey of my life, I always know that Angie will
still be with me. My defender, my partner, and my best friend forever.
Four weeks ago while going through her items I found a poem she had
wrote prior to me meeting her. Angie described in verse the pain she had
in her heart for not being able to share her heart, to not be able to
give and receive love and happiness; it was a very dark time for her. In
2002 Angie met me then our son, everything in life that she did not have
prior was fulfilled, her heart had the love and sharing that she always
dreamed of, yes Angie, they do go hand in hand, thank you for showing us
that!
Life has to, and will go on without her, I truly miss her everyday but I
know that she's there watching over me. This experience has helped me
see that death is not something to be scared about, but something to
look forward to. It's about living life to the fullest and being the
best that you can be.
Dignity & respect Angie - I love you! ~Keri
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are
between you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her. When
you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by
yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering
you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf,
and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you, or
come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters,
sisters-in-law, mothers, grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins and
extended family all bless our life.
When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the
incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead, nor did we know how much we
would need each other. Every day, we need each other still.
-- Angie
