“Ho Hum”
You will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and memories and will never be forgotten. You are free, Dad. Time to catch the big one! We love you until we meet again.

Husband sadly announces the passing of Angie. Loving wife, mother, friend and artist, her memory will continue to light our hearts.
