Dad, I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. Aunt Angie was a treasure. She always had a funny story and a twinkle in her eye as she told it. She told us lots of stories about growing up in a big family and having all the boys to take care of. She especially loved you. If there is anything that you need, just call. Love you.
