To My Dear Friends....Angie and Rock's Family,
Being a Jew....not sure how these things are supposed to go. So forget protocol, here is how I feel...I loved Angie sooooo much. She made me laugh and taught me a few lessons. Never stop moving. Even when her heart was broken over the loss of the love of her life she never stopped living herself.
Here and there I would stop over to help break up the day for Angie when "Matt and Company" were hard at work and school, and I was available. They felt guilty asking me to hang with Ang for lunch and some chit chat or a drive here and there. The truth be told, I felt honored they asked me. The insight I gained looking through Angie's eyes at life's little unexpected twists turns and how to just laugh at the end result... That is why I feel like I owe Jackie and Matt for the pleasure of her company!!! Forever Grateful!!!
In closing, all of Angie's 90 lbs loved like she weighed 700lbs.!!! She was so proud of Robin and her boys and the additional family they brought to the table. She was soooo proud of Debbie and her beautiful family that just added yet another beautiful boy to the mix!! Of course, Lenny and his wife, his kids and grandchildren that will keep the DePaul name alive and well for years to come! But, closest to my heart (as they are my bff's) would be the great DePaul's of Black Ave East (won't hold the "East" thing against ya!!) They took such excellent care of both Rock and Ang. They were close, that is a fact. But the love, time, respect, devotion and comfort Matt, Jackie, Kayleigh and Dylan offered Rocky and then Angie was second to none. It is a tough thing to open your home and heart while busy in your own lives but the four of them did it without a second thought. And I know Angie loved them so much for that and their constant visits when Ang got to sick and needed round the clock care.
Love You All!!!
P.S. I know I feel better knowing Angie is taking care of business in heaven and keeping an eye on those she loved here on earth.....
