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

Hey JE! You weren't wrong! We can eat beef! Oprah--look out!

A dietitian was once addressing a large audience in Chicago. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.

"Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it."

"Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding cake."

Rest in peace Angeligue. I am so very sorry to hear this very sad news.

[carlo3b]

Thank you all, it's quite an honor to post my memories of this angel, but I will not be able to do her justice. Thank you for your assistance.

No, Wasperman, she registered two years after the Original Freeper Island of 1998, where Billie and I were.
We had her aboard the 'Sea Sagas' that began with my being spirited by Scuttlebutt and COB1 and CHIEF to rendezvous with ofMagog in New Zealand.

She now is our guiding star for the voyages.

[Angelwood]

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Prayers for her and her family and friends.

[carlo3b]

Thank you so much, she was remarkable in the way everyone thought of her. She wouldn't back down from a fight no matter how often she was outnumbered, as in the French bashing threads... poor baby, she really got her dander up over that, and I know she was baited because of that..it was a site to behold! Now they will have me to contend with! If she was a representative of the French, they are worth my strongest defense. I will introduce THE ANGELIQUE ARGUMENT!

I woke up this morning to find out that I have just won a trip to Hong Kong.

Then, to hear that Angelique, a lady I am proud to have sparred with , has passed away.

Ces't La Vie...

[Alamo-Girl]

I join in prayers for Angelique and all who loved her and those she loved!!!

[firehat]

I lament.

Norm

[carlo3b]

She would thank you I am sure. I really don't have trouble wondering what she would have said or done in response to most of the comments, because she was so predictable in her principles.... truly unique.

[AKA Elena]

I tearfully join you -- I know I was often on "her side" which makes that now the side of an Angel, in truth! How sad and sometimes, how much can we take?

[Aquamarine]

How sad. We'll miss you Angelique.

[firehat]

I lament.

Norm

[carlo3b]

Thank you dear girl, she will be missed by many, in many ways.

[f.Christian]

for awile my world revolved around two people...

another sunset/sunrise---one tear drop!

[carlo3b]

My sincere thanks to all of you. I am proud to be her friend, and yours.

[gc4nra]

May she sit at the right hand of the Father.

My condolences Carlos.

[carlo3b]

She was a treasure of charm and wit with a loving nature and gentle manner.

She admired you dear man, she would be humbled by your words,....well maybe not humbled...LOL, but surely honored.

[carlo3b]

Thank you so very much.

It all comes 'round again Angelique.
