I truly loved Angela! She was a Brentwood School mom where her two boys attended & where I taught. I had Marcel in my first grade class. She was such a positive lady who loved her sons. I would always run into her at Publix & we would have a moment to catch up. She always texted me & sent photos of her two boys. She always said how proud she was of Marcel & Myles. So sad to hear the news of her passing. She was a lovely lady & she will be missed ♥️
Myles and Angela’s mother & son dance at Myles and Natalie’s wedding was such a special moment and it has stayed with me to this day. My deepest condolences to Myles, Marcel, and your families.
My sincere and deepest condolences to Myles and Marcel. Angela will truly be missed by many.

Marcel and Myles, Your Mama was one inspiring woman. As you know she and I kept in touch often through her journey in the last few years. She was funny, real and loved you boys. She worked so hard to raise you boys in faith and love. I know you will miss her. Hope you can hold onto many of the wonderful memories you each have of her. She made an impact on me and many. In fact here last words to me in December where "Ain't God Good!"..
Come see us when in the Tampa Bay area.
With Love, Sally Scott
I have known Angela for many years, but she became my close friend when my husband, Steve, passed away two years ago. He was Sonlight Band Director at our church, and many times I observed Angela and Steve exchanging humorous conversations at the end of any Sonlight rehearsal. I can see them doing that again now!
God knows when we need people, and He knew I needed Angela's friendship at just the right time to help me in my grief journey. Angela always knew how to make me smile and laugh when telling me how proud she was of me throughout the past two years. Whenever we parted ways, she would say, "Soldier on, Girlie!"
We shared many meals together at church events, and at other places she looked forward to after her medical appointments. I became her "plus one" for her son's wedding becoming her chauffeur and assisting her in getting dressed up for the wedding. She made everything we did together fun. Afterward, I would text her to make sure she was alright, and she would respond with, "I'm snug as a bug in my bed!"
I miss you, my dear friend, but I am certain that you are snug as a bug resting in your Savior's arms!
