She was released from hospice at Rose Linn Memory Care Center on May 1, 2023. Everyone expected her to last far longer even with the diabetes, kidney and cirrhosis, and issues. But something must have gone terribly wrong during a seizure to officially cause them to desire to provide such drastic hospice treatment ultimately ending her life three days later; official cause of death still unknown, perhaps overflow as she was taken to the overflow.

Presently I am watching the Celebration of Life found on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITC4zga0LIw At Clackamas Valley Baptist Church the picture at 36:10 a photo of me to the right Title: The Unforgettable Legacy of an Extraordinary Mother Introduction: My mother, Angela, holds a special place in my heart as the epitome of an exceptional mother. Her unwavering commitment to providing a Christian education, her devout Catholic faith, and her nurturing spirit set her apart. Through immense trials and tribulations, her unwavering relationship with God remained steadfast, untouched by external influences or materialistic values. Angela, my mother, always remained faithful. In this tribute, I will honor her memory by sharing the profound impact she had on my life. Body: The Guiding Light of Faith: Angela's dedication to my education extended beyond academics. She firmly believed in the power of faith and miracles. Her unceasing prayers, encouragement to read the Bible, and strong faith left an indelible mark on my spiritual journey. Angela's belief in angels and her unwavering faith served as a constant inspiration. She not only believed in the existence of these celestial beings but also believed in me. Her support and belief in my abilities mirrored the faith shared by countless others around the world. Lessons in Unconditional Love: Angela's love knew no bounds. She taught me the fundamental skills of education, including spelling and early grade levels, while also fostering a love for learning and encouraging me to dream big. Angela never imposed limitations on my aspirations; instead, she knitted a multicolored sweater and treated me like Joseph King of Dreams. However, there were moments of betrayal, such as when she signed a check that caused strife between us. Nonetheless, Angela was the only person in my life who ever apologized for her actions, showing her exceptional character and willingness to make amends. A Mother's Belief in Miracles: Angela's unwavering belief in miracles transcended her own experiences. Despite enduring great trials and tribulations, she never lost faith in God's plan. Her resilience and ability to navigate through adversity left a profound impact on me. While I wish I could have saved her from the hardships she faced, her strength in the face of adversity, like my own journey through trials and tribulations, has shaped me into the person I am today. A Shared Spiritual Journey: As a young child, I cherished the moments when Angela and I delved into the Bible together and engaged in nightly prayers. Her presence nurtured my spiritual growth, and I felt a profound connection to the Lord through our shared devotion. These moments of spiritual closeness strengthened my relationship with God and allowed me to find solace in my faith. The Profound Impact of Apology: Among the many unique qualities Angela possessed, her willingness to apologize stood out. Despite our conflicts, Angela was the only person in my life who recognized her mistakes and extended a sincere apology. This act of humility showcased her exceptional character and further solidified the bond between us. Biblical Passages of Reflection: Two passages from the Bible hold particular significance in understanding Angela's spiritual journey. 2 Samuel 12:15-23 resonated with me at the moment of her passing, as it reminds us of the transformative power of forgiveness and the consequences of our actions. Just as David mourned the loss of his child but found solace in knowing they would be reunited one day, I find comfort in the hope of a future reunion with my mother. Similarly, 2 Kings 2, which recounts Elijah's ascension to heaven, served as her final Bible study. This passage symbolizes the transcendent nature of the human spirit and the belief that, like Elijah, Angela has been carried to eternal peace. Conclusion: In the tapestry of my life, the imprint of Angela's love and faith remains etched. Her teachings, unwavering support, and unyielding belief in my potential continue to inspire me. Though her passing left a void in my life, her legacy lives on. Angela, my mother, was an extraordinary woman who epitomized the virtues of love, faith, and resilience. She nurtured my dreams, created beautiful knitted garments, and acknowledged her missteps with heartfelt apologies. Her memory will forever inspire me to embrace unconditional love, walk in faith, and seek forgiveness as a testament to her remarkable influence. As I reflect on her life, the biblical passages of 2 Samuel 12:15-23 and 2 Kings 2 resonate, reminding me of the transformative power of forgiveness, the eternal peace that awaits, and the profound impact of our shared spiritual journey.
