I am so very sorry to hear of the Angela’s passing. I went to GC with her and remember her (and her “sisters”; Christie, Becky, Dawn) very well. Where there was one…there was often three others. Always a smile on her face. I pray for her friends and family and most specifically her son- may her spirit live on in him.
Brian and Karsten – I met Angela in 3rd grade at Holy Cross School in Collinsville, IL and celebrated with you when you were married; I am shocked and saddened to hear about her passing. As you both know, she was an amazing person who loved Jesus and never felt sorry for herself. To say there was anything wrong with her heart is simply false; she was one of the most loving and caring people to ever walk this Earth. We are praying for you all in Chicago and heartbroken to think of a world without Angela. Praise God from whom all blessings flow, especially the blessing of Angela.
God Bless and Keep You Always.
Kathy and Keith, we are so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a loving woman of God. Gabby and Joan
Dear Kathy and Keith, You and all of Angela’s family are in our prayers as you grieve the loss of your beautiful daughter. May God grant you peace as you celebrate Angela’s life and recognize all of the lives that she impacted in such a positive way. With sympathy, Doug and Marilyn Huber
From Bobby and Kimberley Smalt –
Kim and I send all of our love to you! We are praying for all of you and know that our Living God has all of us in the palm of His hand!
Love always,
Bobby and Kimberley Smalt
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Angela’s death. I’ve known Angela and her family since she and our son Joel attended 3rd grade together at Holy Cross. Through the years, I have seen her persevere and miraculously recover from so many serious medical crises. I feel privileged to have known her and am grateful that Joel and I were able to be with her on the day she married Brian.
Arny and I send our deepest sympathies to Brian, Karsten, Kathy, Keith and Travis. We pray that God will give you strength to deal with your loss.
Brian, I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss. You and your son will be in my thoughts and prayers.
It is painful to watch a loved one suffer and die. We naturally grieve such a loss. It is comforting to know, however, that our Creator, Jehovah God, understands our grief. More than that, he longs to use his almighty power to restore life to the dead. Notice the hope conveyed in the words of Job, recorded at Job 14:15: “You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.”
Kathy, Keith, Travis, Brian, Karsten…… I struggle to find words to express my sadness. I’d met Angela several times, followed her blog, and was in touch with her here & there. Knowing her was such a blessing. She had a tremendous impact on my life. God be with all of you & grant you comfort.
Dear Moore and Rule families,
Angela was an amazing individual who affected many individual lives. She was an inspiration. I know she will be missed by all who met her and whose lives she touched. One blessing to remember, she left this world knowing she was loved and cherished. That is powerful. That is how she was able to accomplish so much out of her life by all of your love and support. That was how she became the woman each of you knew her to be. Hopefully, by filling your hearts and minds with memories of all the good times and struggles she shared with each of you, you will gain more and more comfort during this painful time of her passing.
Please accept my deepest sympathies, heartfelt prayers and warm thoughts. I feel very privilege to have known her if only briefly and the wonderful people who stood beside her in her life’s journey.
Dear Brian, Kathy and Keith,
I just learned of Angela’s passing. I am sorry for your loss and hope your memories comfort you in times of sadness. Brian I am so very happy that Angela had you in her life and that you became parents together.
Angela was such a pistol in her younger years when I knew her best. She was stubborn and strong willed and kind and loving, all rolled into a small bundle.
Know that I am praying for you all.

Angela had a mother in law as well. She was overlooked. Her mother in law wrote a poem dedicated to her “Do Angels Cry When Someone Dies.”
Do Angels Cry when someone dies? the boy asked his Dad. I need to know the answer. My mommy went away. Do Angels sing when someone leaves while people that loved them pray? Do Angels dance upon the clouds and lead them through a gate, or do they smile and welcome them to a place where no one hates? Please help me understand why we were left behind. I feel so very sad. I miss my Mom and need her. Did I do something bad? Is my mommy now an Angel watching over me each day. I want to know she is here with me. I wanted her to stay. His father brushed away a tear, And struggled just to speak. But nothing uttered from his lips as the pain had left him weak. Instead he opened up his arms and hugged his son with love, And hoped he’d find the answers with help from up above. The words he spoke came slowly as he searched for what to say. He knew his words importance and what impact they would play. “Yes, Mommy is an angel and watches over you and me, And, if we look inside our hearts she will never go away. We will hear her voice in the wind that blows and think of her when the Daisys grow. She will send a tingle when you do something kind or when you send a Valentine. You will see her in your Grammas eyes and in your Grampas smile, And in my voice when I say her name. She has been here all the while. Tell her you love her when you pray, Every night at the end of day. If you do these things, you will keep her near and will help to keep away your fear. She never really left us and I know she never will. And one day when we go to meet her, the love will be there still. Yes son, Angels cry when someone dies, and they smile, and dance and sing; Because, the love inside of someone Never goes away. The love will make us stronger to face each and every day. A book of poetry in which this poem is included is dedicated to her.
