Dennis and Mark, so saddened to hear of Angela´s passing. She was a sweet, good person, always had a smile on her face, and when we´d see her at family functions, I loved to talk to her, she was so kind. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I will be praying for both of you and all who loved her. May God bless all of you. Linda (Schwartz) Noblitt

Mark, I never had the pleasure of meeting your mother, however through our many conversations you made me feel like she was a feisty lady…and someone I would love. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, and I lift your family up in prayer. May we all learn from the way you cared for your parents. Your mother was lucky to have you..just as you were to have her!
