“We met Angela when she move next door to us in Homosassa. We were only there a few times a year. If she wasn’t on a cruise with her family or in the hospital, you could count on her inviting me over for tea or coffee and a chat about her family. We had many wonderful conversations even though we only knew her for a short time, Your loss is heaven’s gain. “
