Larry Love wrote the following to let members know of Angie’s passing.
The time has come to celebrate Angie’s life. She passed peacefully at 11:58 pm Tuesday and I was blessed to be holding her hand when the time came for her to begin her new wonderful life. Let us all rejoice and be thankful that we had the opportunity to know her and experience the joy she brought to our lives. Even though her body was ravaged with cancer, as an organ donor, she will make it possible for two people to see. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support during her courageous fight against this terrible disease.
“Live each day to the fullest folks. If you’re not having fun, do something else. This philosophical moment has been brought to you by Dr. Love.”
