Today we held your funeral. The church was packed to capacity. Many of your friends travelled from afar to say their goodbyes to you and to celebrate your life. You touched the lives of so many people, everyone who’d ever met you loved you for your sincerity and kind and generous nature. You cared so much for others and never said a bad word to anyone. It was a beautiful service. Your niece stood up and read a poem that you kept under your pillow along with a photo of your beloved kestrel, Fidget. After the service we took you to the crematorium as you wished. Angela we love and miss you more than words can ever say. We will never be able to understand how this happened or why you have been taken from us so soon. You and Derek were so looking forward to the rest of your lives together. How do we ever learn to live without you? You will be forever in our hearts and prayers. Until we meet again....

Father in Heaven, God help us. Father in Heaven, God help me. The moon, the sun, the wind, praise be to you, oh God.
