I am posting again. This trip has been a difficult trip. I enjoyed my family and friends here in Sadusky, but I missed time with you. I thought I would be able to attend your celebration of life, but unfortunately, my family and I will be flying back to Mississipi. I can't thank Angela enough for being my friend for 48 years and most I am most honored to have been her friend.
To the Thomas family, I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Love to you all!

I worked with Angela at the OVH .She always had a smile on her face and I loved her sense of humor. She always made me smile. If you were having a bad day, she would bring you right out of it and make you laugh. I will always and forever remember you Angela. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I will cherish them forever. RIP SWEET ANGEL

I am truly at a loss for words. Martha was excited that she was going to get to spend some time with you. I was looking through responses to a song I posted and saw your response. The song was Trouble Don't Last Always. Rest in Him my Bonus Sister.
