My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. Angie was devoted to her family and was very pleased with all of her children’s accomplishments. She was a kind hearted,caring, and loving person and never spoke ill of anyone. She will be missed by many friends and family. Everyone is hurting from the shock of her passing, but God probably spared her from further health problems.
She has gone home to join HIM, her husband, parents, and sister. May God bless each of you during this sorrowful time.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Angela had been in my life at one point or another, spanning over 40 years. We had a mutual respect for one another and I will truly miss her witty humor. God bless the Putnam family and will still pray for you all.
