au revoir mon cher Angelique
A heavy heart | Sept 28 2002 | Carlo3b

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

My condolences and may Angelique rest in peace. The loss of active Freepers always seems like the loss of a distant family relative who I did not know as well as I wanted, but liked a lot from what I knew or remembered (thinking of an uncle and fond childhood memories). Prayers for Angelique's family and friends, like you carlo....

That's beautiful lodwick. Thank you!

If I can get the FR's Finest thread to open for me later (it doesn't always), I read it.

Good grief - what's up with the thread not opening?

Are you mashing the button, or clicking the listing on FR's splash page? (Or do we load it up with too many graphics for your connection?)

Keep banging away at it - it's a nice way to get to know some freepers that we don't ordinarily hang with. ;-)

Friends are like ANGELS

by Peggy Jo

Friends are like angels
Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wounderful ways
Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel surrounded,
By warm caring love
Like upside-down rainbows
Their smiles bring the sun,
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things
