Mom you are deeply missed. I will miss are talks and laughing with you over silly stuff and your sense of humor. I’m grateful for the last 15 years of our relationship and how we connected. Grateful I could hold you as you passed. I miss you. ❤️

I will always remember my Aunt Karen. As the youngest of my mom’s sisters – Aunt Karen always seemed like the cool Aunt. I will never forget going over to her apartment and seeing her album collection. It was unbelievable. To this day – I have never seen another collection as large as hers. Aunt Karen always had a smile to give, regardless of how much pain she might have been feeling. She had a beautiful smile and a spirit to match. I know her family will miss her very much. 💕

A As a young man I always looked forward to my family’s frequent visits to Nitro, West Virginia. Karen was my aunt and my mother’s (Sonia) youngest sister. She was always kind and sweet to me even though I was a geeky young boy and she was growing into a very lovely young woman. Shy and unassuming she always had a warmth and charm that always made us feel welcome and at home. She is sincerely missed. The stars in heaven always shine a little brighter when another Angell returns home. ❤️
