Angie, my Piggy Perch, my Lady in Red! How I will miss your cackling laugh, your witty, biting asides, your passion for life. You were a loyal friend, a fierce Mama bear, a loving Grandmother. You gathered the people who mattered to you and held on tight. And I admired you. At a young age I saw you as a strong, intelligent, independent single woman, a role model for me, just in my teens when we first met.
Later you met the love of your life, Peter and together you created a miracle, Sam. Although I saw pictures of Sam throughout the years at different ages and stages, I only just had the honor of "meeting " her recently. And what a wonderful person she is, Angie. I know you loved her deeply and now I see how deeply she loved you too. Looking in from the outside, I see Sam as a strong, well spoken, extremely caring woman, in fact, I see so much of you in her Ang. I hope my new relationship with her will continue and she will allow me to be her 2nd Auntie for years to come. Piggy Perch, I miss you greatly; there is a place on my heart that belongs to you now and forever. Farewell my friend...
