  1. My deepest sympathy to all her children, husband, mother, and father. I wanted o express that my daughter loved her still loves her and will never forget her. She was a great nurse always comforted her. When my daughter would go in for a physical Angie talked to her about the danger of strangers, made she wore a life jacket. Words can’t express how wonderful she was. She also helped me in my difficult time, gave me advice. She will never be forgotten. Angie you are in God;s hands let him be the caretaker of you. Miss you Always

  6. You have our deepest sympathy for your loss! Our hearts go out to her children as they have lost the beacon to guide them through their life. At any age, everyone relies on their mother for support and guidance. A favorite quote of mine is ‘A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us; when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.’ ~ Washington Irving Now you will have to fulfill that role for her and assist Angie’s husband to keep her dreams for them alive. May God bless you with comfort and peace during this difficult time. Joe and Sharon Haskovec

  11. My husband and I would like to convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Angelica. We would like to share with you something that has brought us much comfort at a similar time in our lives. John 11:14-44 shares with us the experience of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus here on earth before the very eyes of those he loved. We can only imagine the tears of joy when we too are reunited with our dear loved ones.

  18. Angie was a wonderful woman. She was very bright and always had a smile on her face when I saw her. Angie was my doctor for almost 8 years. We will truly miss her and never forget all the jokes and good laughs we had with her. I was just glad that she touched my life and was always so kind hearted. My condolences go out to the family in their time of need. She will always be in everyone’s heart that she has talked with.

  19. ‘We can shed tears because she is gone or smile because she has lived. We can close our eyes and pray that she’ll come back or open our eyes and see all that she’s left. Our hearts can be empty because we can’t see her or we can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. We can remember her and only that she’s gone or cherish her memory and let it live on. We can cry and close our minds, be empty and turn our backs or we can do what she would want, smile, open our eyes, love and go on.’ Author Unknown. So, so true. We will remember our visits on the cabin deck and smile with tears in our eyes. Our deepest sympathy to the Angie’s community of friends and family. Gooter and Connie Straw

It saddens me greatly that I will never get to see her beautiful smile, here her laughter, and be able to join her in tears of joy, but I will never forget the great times that we shared. I will treasure the memories forever as well as tell great stories of Ang while having a beer. Love you forever Angelica Lynn…………friends for ever!!! Love you!!!! Barb Meissen
