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

Angelique's spirit is as beautiful as her name....

[carlo3b]

Thank you so very much for your concern... She will be missed by more than a few around here and elsewhere...

[Alamo-Girl]

Sometimes we entertain angels unaware, sometimes we suspect we have. May God bless you, carlo3b! What a beautiful tribute you have written.

[carlo3b]

Sometimes we entertain angels unaware, sometimes we suspect we have...

Bless you dear girl...I have been in the aura of an Angel, I know

[carlo3b]

AuntB, I thought you might enjoy this post from our girl...I'll try real hard to take her advice

To: jellybean, snow bunny

I think you'll enjoy this simple piece. It is the FReeper spirit!

One
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference,
You see it's up to YOU!"

Thank you Carlo for having Angelique's photo posted to the album. I have made a copy of it so I can include it along with hard copies of all her posts and recipes. In this small way, I can keep her memeory alive.
