Angela


My friend Angela (the adorable blonde on the right in pig-tails) passed away 2 days ago from cancer. She has been battling with cancer for a long time now and she has been amazingly tough. I met Angela on our study abroad in Israel. We were in the same group together and you couldn't help but love her!! She was so fun and sweet and kind. I chose this picture because I remember this day as one of my favorite days in my 2 months there. We had the whole day free and a bunch of us girls decided to go shopping in the Old City and on Ben Yahuda Street! We had bags and bags of goodies by the time our day was done.......4 of us also had new ear piercings!! It was a fantastic day and I remember having so much fun with Angela. We only recently got back in touch, but I still consider her a good friend. I know she is in heaven now and free of pain, so for that, I am happy.

Kami, she was married, no kids. She had melanoma for 10 years and just about 2 years ago they found out it had spread to her lungs and brain, etc.
