The best way to describe Angel is through her favorite quote by her favorite actress, Audrey Hepburn; ""Happy girls are the prettiest."" Angel lived these words every day of her life, all 6,869 of them. She had a smile that would light up the room and it very rarely left her face. She loved to laugh and joke around with people and often stumped many with her witty remarks. Angel had big dreams-she wanted to pursue her passion of becoming a make-up artist on Broadway. She loved the theatre and all of the magic that goes into making each production come to life on stage, and she wanted to be right in the middle of it all. She also loved music and spent hours listening to her vinyls or playing her keyboard, guitar and ukulele. She was kind and generous, fearless and ambitious, and she never wanted to miss a second of life. The love she had for her family and friends, especially her baby sister, was unwavering. She couldn't stand to see people in pain and always wanted to help. Angel wanted to make a difference in the world and even though she only had 18 years, she did just that. No matter how short her time on Earth was, she lived and she lived good. Pallbearers will be Chuck Gross, Kris Colburn, Doug Walker, Chris Sentell, Drew Dockery, Logan Whitehead and Steven Camp.
