It especially means a great deal to me coming from someone who knew Angie so well. Ironically (or perhaps fittingly, depending on how you look at it, I suppose) I looked again today at the last e-mail I got from her, from around the middle of January. I think you were copied on it as well. It was a forward of a piece written by a 90 year old woman, about the 45 lessons life taught her. All 45 were positive, life-loving thoughts that might just as well have been written by Angie herself. We mourn her passing for sure, but how lucky we were to have had her at all.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708314072246136972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881394120770048684.post-5058536227335525282011-03-16T08:49:56.910-04:002011-03-16T08:49:56.910-04:00Ben, I folowed you oever here from a comment you l...Ben, I folowed you oever here from a comment you left on Angie's page. She would have loved this. What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady. I miss her every day. I was so shocked when her sister called me to tell me of her passing. I couldn't believe it . . . still can't. I was able to attend her funeral and it was lovely. I don't think up to the point of her passing, her family (other than Keith) had actually realized just how witty, brilliant and wonderful her blogs were, and how very much loved she was the whole world over. I loved her dearly. We talked every day and set the world to rights every time. I truly believe that Angie lives on in those who knew and loved her, warts, anorl. xxMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881394120770048684.post-88507968578855249132011-03-15T22:58:05.377-04:002011-03-15T22:58:05.377-04:00Welcome, Bonnie.

Both of my sons cook. It's a good thing. And, to come here, find you and realize you knew Angie is a really good thing!!<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881394120770048684.post-47904497716802640652011-03-15T19:59:28.162-04:002011-03-15T19:59:28.162-04:00Thanks, Sandra.

Angie was special indeed, and so alive that is difficult for the heart to recognize the reality of her passing. You're completely right that Angie's heart had equally genuine love for many. She truly will be missed.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708314072246136972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881394120770048684.post-48494188480248436842011-03-12T13:32:19.127-05:002011-03-12T13:32:19.127-05:00Hi Ben - - - seems we were doomed to ONE day find ...Hi Ben - - - seems we were doomed to ONE day find each other's blog since I too was a HUGE Angie fan AND the mother of Keri.<br /><br />I've noticed your little icon at both of their blogs and wondered about you - - - who you were and how they BOTH found you etc.<br /><br />Just yesterday I went back to Angie's blog to see if anyone had been able to post an article there telling of her loss. I then looked in the comments to see if there was anything there - - - and found yours.<br /><br />I believe you and I felt just the same way about Angie.<br /><br />I will confess, that while she was still living, still blogging, still commenting, and still e-mailing I deluded myself into believing I was her "special bloggy friend." Now I know the truth - - - she loved us all. She was special to us all.<br /><br />I still grieve her loss.Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881394120770048684.post-61020754780037540162011-03-12T10:27:03.531-05:002011-03-12T10:27:03.531-05:00P.S.
