You will be deeply missed, Aunt Angie. I’ll always remember the fun we had and the humorous family stories you told me when you were down here in Florida. Dad (Jimmy) , I am so sorry for your loss. I know you looked up at Aunt Angie and Uncle John as your other “Mom” & “Dad” and I’m sure they recognized & appreciated all you did for them. My deepest sympathy to all, we have all lost such a kind, fun, loving person and she will always be in our hearts.
She is now resting in peace. She’s with Uncle John and probably bowling with her new pals she met in heaven. My love to you always Aunt Angie.

Angie was a vibrant woman who was full of spunk and laughter. We spent many decades enjoying her summertime presence at Saunder’s Point in Niantic. She will be dearly missed as we have lost a favorite long time resident.
To the Petrillo Family: As each day passes, we hope you swee less of a shadow and more of the sun. You are in our thoughts~Beth
