Dear Warda Family: It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love no matter how young or old they happen to be. We are reminded in the Bible that God sees our pain and sorrow and has promised that soon death will be no more.(Revelation 21:4) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our loved ones to life again.(John 5:28,29) I hope in the days ahead as you reflect on the life of Angel, and the beautiful memories left behind, that you will also find comfort in God's promises to us for the near future. I am so sorry for your loss.
Our Family is heartbroken as we have lost a truly great friend and extended family member. Angie will always be in our hearts and prayers. Knowing and loving Angie for over 50 years was one of the special blessings of my life. May she rest in peace and love. Tony Unruh
