au revoir mon cher Angelique

I have the truly sad and unenviable task of reporting the loss of a gentle lamb, and fierce patriot, our own dear girl, Angelique.
Simple words cannot express the profound loss I feel. To say I have lost one of my closest and dearest friends would be to betray my own feelings, I adored this girl. Her warm sweet childlike voice, contrasted with her signature feisty repartee, and unbridled humor made her a one-of-a-kind treasure. Her combative defense of her deeply held convictions, crossed many a sword with the best of her friends including yours truly, and her few if any enemies. She was a model Mother, daughter, sister, friend, patriotic American, Franco-American and staunch defender of the principals of a Free Republic, and above all FreeRepublic itself. Angelique said what she believed, with straight talk, a savvy humor and wit, but at times with a velvet sledgehammer ....tears, that was our darling French pastry.
Pray for our sweet girl, as I will, in hopes that she has found comfort and peace in His waiting arms.
pour toujours,  mon cher Angel,  with love......... Carlo

No one can resist the power of chocolate.
I wish Spring was on the way instead of Winter. She will up there with her Spring flowers while we are down here shivering.

I am not gone, I am changed.
Have faith and please believe me.
God did not take me away from you,
He split the skies and received me.
~ Now.... ~

I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.

I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live.
Wherever you are - I am there.

Angelique was one of my best friends here on Free Republic. We shared many moments just laughing at all the funny post all you wonderful folk would provide. She like you Registered and all your funny graphics. She love LadyX and Cob1 as we were all Marines or Marines wives.
Angelique, loved vine riped tomatos. I always have a summer garden, and we would spend long hours on the phone talking about how I could ship her a box of my vine riped tomatos without getting caught or put in jail, LOL.
My freind loved to laugh. We'd share stories on the phone about our growing up. She had a brother, who sounded alot like mine, and oh how we'd laugh about what our brothers did or said when we were kids.

I will miss my best friend. I emailed her several times asking her "where the heck are you?" She did not answer me so I thought she had moved back to California. I wanted to tell her my tomatos didn't do well this year, and make up some funny story about wimpy tomatos. I never got a chance.

Sleep well my friend. I will miss you.

Lowie, our Angelique is gone. Thank you for the "Al Gore Taco bell dog" Graphic. Oh my how she loved that graphic. She would just laugh and laugh at the site of the picture.

Beautiful, and just perfect...thank you for friendship... :)

[Luis Gonzalez]

Sad BUMP.

[lodwick]

My regrets and condolences on your friend's passing into her next life. Be well. JL

Angelique, loved vine riped tomatos.

Oh boy Teacup, is this so true. She spent days asking how to invent, incorporate and enhance recipes and the use of homegrown Tomatoes.... LOL  I'm Italian so the tomato is an entire food group, but wow, she was infatuated with them. The cookbook is a reflection of her influence. ...Thanks for that memory.

Lodwick, thank you for your thoughts, and caring enough to say it.

Dear Carlo,

You're a sweetheart. Good to know that Angelique is getting the Heavenly moderators in line. I'll certainly benefit from that when I get up there.

To Angelique - Hope you are having the time of your eternal life, and prayers for your family. - E

[VadeRetro]

What I want to know is how she heard about my pantalons.

[LadyX]

How special that is, jellybean, and haunting - and so true.

All the tears are for us, of course, not our Angelique ~ ~ ~

Good to know that Angelique is getting the Heavenly moderators in line.

Imagine, what if there are some liberals up there... Holy smoke... Yo St. Peter ...Incoming.. . Liberal angels? ...naw, not a chance..LOL

Location: No where. A better place.

Kidnapped by a band of roving gypsies at birth, but saved by a pack of Jeffersonian wolves who speak french un petit peu.

I'm sorry I didn't know Angelique well. Her posts are full of energy and joy. Her presence is here in the sorrow of her friends on this day.

I hope you keep her suggestion of the Mr. Potato Head centerpiece for the potato salad in the Freeper cookbook.

[FrogMom]

Thanks for the ping, Carlo.

I am so sorry to hear that Arizona, the USA and all of us have lost this patriot.

I pray that she is at peace in a good place, resting in the sunshine and love of Our Father.

Rest easy, Angelique, you have passed out of this life but you were loved and will therefore live on in our hearts.

I want to know is how she heard about my pantalons.

She was an Angel, a French one at that... :)

She has left a deep space that may not be filled by one, or perhaps two, maybe 50.. what a loss... Thanks for your kind words
