May God bless you all and his hands touch all of you to bring comfort and understanding during this difficult time.

Craig, C.J., Liam,

We wanted to express to you our condolences for your loss. You are in our prayers for comfort, strength, and peace during this time.

Dear C.J. and Liam,
I was so greatly saddened to learn about your mom's passing. I will always remember the vibrant woman who came to open house at the middle school and parent/teacher conferences for you C.J. Although I only knew your mom for a short period of time, I know from our conversations that she loved you both dearly. I admired her for going back to school, as I know how difficult that is when you are taking care of a family. Always remember that even though your mom may not physically be with you anymore, no one can take away your memories of her. Please know that I will be praying for you and your entire family for healing, strength, wisdom, and peace.
With love,
Mrs. Reiche

I want to send my deepest sympathy to your family. Angie was a friend to all and knew no stranger. I knew Angie all thru school and everyone loved her. Know she is in heaven watching over all of you for she is an Angel.

Love,

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very sad time. Angie was a friend of our daughter Tonya and they took dance together for years. Our daughter Tonya went to Heaven at the age of 22. May God comfort you all.

23rd Psalm & John 3:16

I am so saddened for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers during this very difficult time.

Dear Angela's Family,

I wanted to send my deepest condolences to you. It must be so hard to lose a Mother, Child, and Sister. May you know that Angela was just what her name implies - an Angel. She was always so sweet when I was growing up with her in Plano. May you be comforted by knowing that while she has left us to mourn on this earth, she is now at peace in the arms of our Glorious Savior - Jesus Christ. We were blessed to know her for this short time, but we will see her once again in Heaven.

God Bless your family and may you find Peace, Comfort and Strength in Jesus Christ.

Dear CJ and Liam,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. She was such a warm, caring, and friendly person. I certainly looked forward to having her come into my classroom during CJ's first grade year. Although she is no longer with you, your memories of her will be with you forever! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Miss Boyk

To Angela's family, my deepest sympathies. There is overwhelming sadness from the Plano community for all that knew her. I have so many fun and funny memories of Angie. She worked harder than anyone I know to achieve what she wanted and with great success. Even though high school was a long time ago, it sounds like her strength, wisdom, and passion carried on with her children and her work. Blessings to all.

I remember hanging out with Angie in middle school like it was yesterday. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, daughter and sister. The earth lost a wonderful person, but heaven gained an angel. My families thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to the Morris and Schaffer families. Angie's beautiful smile and wonderful spirit will be missed tremendously.

My sincere condolences to you all. God bless you and keep you in this time of sadness. Remember the joy that she brought into the world and the smile that she had for everyone. I am praying for peace for all of you.

Words can not express how deeply sadden I am about the loss of one of my dearest friends. Angela always gave more than 100% to all of those close to her and I was truly privileged to have her in my life. We shared many life moments together ever since we first became friends at the young age of 5 and then continued that friendship throughout grade and high school, college and into the world starting families and making our own mark. She will always be my lifelong precious friend who is now watching over everyone.

C.J., Liam, Craig, Barbara, Jim, Laurie, David and the Schaffer family, my heart goes out to you and you will stay in my thoughts and prayers forever as Angela will.

Some people come into our lives and leave far too quickly but they make footprints on our hearts that last a lifetime and we treasure them forever.

We were so surprised and sad to hear of Angela's passing. CJ and our son, Matt, were in boy scouts and swim team together. We remember Angela's poise and vitality, and are very sorry for the family's loss.

Kindest regards,
Carol and Jeff Dielman

Angela was an incredibly bright and enthusiastic woman. It was truly a pleasure to have known her and it is with the deepest regret that I offer my condolences to her family. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family in this incredibly difficult time.

In the coming days, weeks and months I pray that all of you will find peace and cherish the fond memories that you shared with your beloved Angela. She was a beautiful and vivacious woman with so much potential who left all of us too early. Pax.

I am still so heartbroken at the loss of my beautiful friend. I have pulled out the photos~ beginning from kindergarten~ we were some kinda cute! Angie was an amazing friend to me in school, after graduation, and again during my divorce. She was such a lovely and caring friend and I feel her loss so deeply! I only wish she knew her impact on the world! I hope she is watching the tears falling from the people she touched and miss her greatly, so she can have some small idea of the amount of people who love her!
CJ and Liam, your mom loved you so much! She bragged about you to her friends in Plano/Frisco/McKinney, TX. She was so proud and loved being your mom!
Barb, Jim, Laurie, and David...I'll see you on the 29th!
Much love, peace, and strength sent your way!
Love and Big Hugs,
Pam

I am at such a loss for words at this time. Not sure that anything I say can bring you comfort as you are grieving the loss of Angie. She was such a vibrant, generous and beautiful woman. I hope your wonderful memories of her ease the pain. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I pray Angie has finally found peace with her Father in Heaven.

I was so sad to learn of Angie's passing. I have wonderful memories of her long blond hair, elementary grade slumber parties and her brother and sister coming home when they were born. So sad to be gone too soon. You're family is in our hearts!

Aloha from Hawaii, and my sad condolences to the Family and Friends of Angela:
Although I didn’t know Angela, we share a deep hearted common thread of having been Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders – a bond that only those of us who have been there understand fully. It is part of your soul, forever ingrained, through the experiences of the excitement, joy, fear and challenges of representing the Dallas Cowboys, Texas, your family and mostly yourself, as a person who believes that excellence in all things is the standard, not the goal. From the comments above it Angela had such qualities in all she did.
In Hawaii we have a saying that someone who passes has ‘changed address’, we just can’t see them. By talking about their life, love and remembering their stories, they are not really gone.

Her spirit will always be on the sidelines with all of us, and she will be missed by her sisters of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. We too have lost a family member.

My best wishes to her sons and family.
With love,

I was so sad to hear the news of Angie's passing. Although I have not seen Angie in many years, she was a great friend, that I will miss dearly. I have a lot of great memories with Angie, growing up in Plano. My deepest sympathies to Angie's boys,family,and all who loved her. We are all better for knowing her, if only for a short while.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. You will continue to be in our prayers in the months ahead, and hope that our prayers will bring you some comfort.

God bless,

I am very sad to hear about Angela's passing. Angela was a wonderful person who I met at USP. She was an intelligent, compassionate, and sincere person. I hope that her boys find solace in the immense love that she had for them-she always spoke with a lot of love about them.

I remember.... a lady full of joy. She gave of herself to her DCC sisters and would light up any room she entered. I treasure that she was a part of my life. Suzanne Mitchell, Former DCC Director 1975-1989

Okay, CJ and Liam- you know how wonderful your mom was, but you should hear some funny stories about her when she was younger. Angie was one of the nicest girls in high school, and she had some DRAMA to her too. As I'm sure you know being her sons. :) Things that come to mind: she always wore a lot of makeup and told me flat out that I "shouldn't even bother using any, if I was going to half ass it so obviously!" Looking back, that is funnier now than then! She tried futilely to get me to try eyeliner "her way." Which was holding a hot curler clip to a roller for a minute or so and getting it hot, then literally scooping out the blue or black from an eyeliner pencil and applying it to the inside rims of her big luminous eyes. TOO FUNNY! Does anyone else remember that? Her family had a parrot or something. That bird was a squawker and she used to lean her head out the bathroom when she got ready and literally scream at that bird and sometimes throw a brush at it laughing. She was so alive! So passionate. I cannot hear the song "You dropped the bomb on me" without seeing her in my mind, trying out for drill team captain. That girl could dance dance dance. One New Years Eve in high school, she and I dared to break away from our crew and spent the night at an EAST side party, can you imagine. She really liked Len Mulhouser (sp). I wonder if he knew that. But she ended up kissing some other boy at midnight who fell madly in love with her of course. Lots of boys loved Angie. She was a truly lovable woman. Great smile, heart, laugh, and warm warm spirtit. She's in the Good Place now, so I'm happy for that, but I do miss her.

CJ and Liam, please know that if we knew your mom, we loved your mom. I wish she'd known that and I feel very small I didn't let her know more. Try to glean some insight in that; always let the ones you love know it without doubt. LIVE. Really Live and celebrate. YOur mom is watching over you, boys. What a powerful angel you two have.

May God bless you.

Angie gave me my first (she said) decent lipstick and she would always give me a thumbs up if I was wearing it and a thumbs down if I wasn't. The woman was like a ray of light in every space that she entered. Even after many years of not seeing her, she could remember things about a person--like she was so connected. That was just radiating love. Angie did not leave any one person on purpose. I am sure of this. Kids if you are reading this now, just keep all of these messages until you are older and re-read them. Nothing makes sense. Nothing should. And that is okay- you are okay and your daddy and your grandparents and the rest of your family is going to make sure of that. Bad stuff happens, but you are okay. Your mamma loves you and she is resting. You are growing up to be the most awesome kids ever!!! Your family smiles when they think of Angie- God bless you and wrap you in that warm blankie....hugs and more hugs.

Typing through tears, as I have just learned this morning that Angie has slipped the bonds of this world, I attempt to alleviate the pain in my soul with the radiance of her smile and brilliance of her light. I LOVED Angie so.
Since our chance meeting on that Austin night in April 1985, as young teenagers, I loved, adored and dreamed of Angie. The letters we mailed, our incredible spring break together, her cheerleader success, our senior proms and the warmth of the Morris family. Kids...we were just cool kids full of wondrous dreams. However her grace, beauty and power were far beyond me and I knew I couldn’t contain her from flying away. But I would cherish my memories of our Angie for so many years.
At my initiation, we reconnected in recent years and were able to share a bit of middle-aged reflection, nostalgia and vision. What a beautiful gift. Her shining light unfaded, her altruistic goals and accomplishments ever-inspiring. ...and the handsome family she created.
Angie has now flown away again. Perhaps her immense spirit could not be contained on this Earth but is better served through her radiant embrace around us all.
Angie, you have been so loved and will be so missed. Fly high now Angle, powerful and free....
Love,
Andy

I taught Angie at USP. She always called me Dr. Cohen in class even after we became friends. She was so bright and enthusiastic. We bonded immediately. She seemed to want a future so much and to be working incredibly hard to get there. I am in shock right now. I do not know exactly what happened but less than a month ago, Angie was excited to be finishing her degree. With a background in psychology, I had no hint of anything but her courage looking forward.
I loved to have her in class as she always brightened things up. We talked afterwards about her life and her boys. I would do anything to just see her face and tell her everything would be all right. Unlike many students, Angie and I became more personal with eachother and she added a special positive touch to my job. I new she would get her PhD and I would shake her hand as she went forward. It is hard to believe that will not happen.
I will always have her in my heart and memory.

Angie was a Planoette friend of mine from 1984-1986 and I always admired her fun spirit and hillarious sense of humor.  She was also the SMU songleader instructor and I was also an SMU alumn.  I remembered seeing her close to 20 years ago and she was sponsored by Reebok and traveling the country!   She always had a sense of adventure and now understand she was a loving and devoted Mom.   The world has lost a wonderful person and my condolensces for you losing your Mom, sister and daughter.   We are having our 30 year Plano Senior HIgh School Class Reunion in Sept. 2016 and I know we will honor her.  Peace and Grace in our Lord Jesus Christ.
