RIP sweet Angel, as long as your name is spoken, you will never be
forgotten. "The most beautiful people we have ever known, are those
who have known defeat, known suffering, known loss and have found
their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a
sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with
compassion, gentleness, and a deep-loving concern. "Beautiful people
do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
Arrangements are with Mohave Memorial Lake Havasu Mortuary, Lake
