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

It seems we are not alone in our grief...so sad

[carlo3b]

Thank you, from the bottom of my empty heart...(

[carlo3b]

May God grant her rest and peace. From a long time Lurker.

Thank you for speaking out tonight, don't be a stranger, Angelique would have invited you to stay.

[carlo3b]

Your cartoons were her joy and everyone who knew her, heard about them, she just loved you. Thank you for your support and friendship..

I am so sorry to hear this. I remember her well from the cookbook threads, such a wonderful sense of humor. May God hold her in the palm of his hand.

[Terry's Take]

I am so sorry to hear this news... she will be missed.

[RedWing9]

I will make sure Angelique is mentioned in my weekly prayers. You will also be mentioned with a plea to God for your continued strangth.

May her wings keep her aloft. God Bless.

[carlo3b]

...sweet Angelique now resides in His loving Kingdom for all eternity.

God Bless her, she had a big heart, and a wonderful humor, knowing our girl was happiness and her attitude was infectious....I miss her so..

[carlo3b]

We will remember the good times.

Yes my friend, we who were close enough to her to have so many wonderful memories to reflect on for a lifetime, enough until we meet her again.

[carlo3b]

It is always sad to hear of a departed freeper.

She is making her friend Chief negotiator, ROTFLHAO, just like old times...PeacePipeup

[carlo3b]

"She would have made the Queen look plain..."

How beautiful,..and so true...we all loved her in life, and now we can tell her through our prayers

[carlo3b]

Have you told someone you love them today? Don't wait, Don't let them slip away Without letting them know They're in your heart to stay! Have you told someone you love them today? You may not have another chance...

...I will never forget her, she will live in our hearts forever...tears

[carlo3b]

Yes my friend, it was tragic news...I am at a loss as to realize the total impact .....how terrible...Thank you for all the the fun days on the Food threads with our girl..:)

[carlo3b]

Her appreciation of freeper humor is shown in her selections for the margins of the freeper cookbook. We surely need to publish this work now, if we didn't need to before.

We're trying my friend, we won't give up until we get it done.... Thank you Firebrand, for all of your hard work..it won't be in vain :(

[carlo3b]

Thank you my friend, she wouldn't believe all of this love just for her...pity we didn't think to do it a lot earier

[carlo3b]

Today I am posting this for you Angelique, Rest In Peace.

Colleen, what a wonderful treat to see her own words bless her memory...thank you...hug

[carlo3b]

Thank you Bobby, until I personally thank you and shake your hand, accept my gratitude for all that you do to further the FR causes... and for caring

[carlo3b]

But our loss is Heaven's gain.

They are indeed in for a treat....she'll have the angels bellylaughing..what a sight that will be...thank you

[carlo3b]

Condolences to her family & friends.

They will be given this tribute, and know how their lamb was loved by all of us...thank you

[carlo3b]

... but there will be a later meeting. What a chapter of freepers there will be 'up there'!

I just know the party has started already...what a happy thought...smile
