In my years of knowing Angela White as a friend and sister in Christ, her smile was so warm and loving. I always enjoyed being in her presence. Her words were always encouraging. I pray for God's peace to sustain the family who now has to walk without their matriarch. She laid a good path to follow. Love to all of you at this difficult time.
