My sweet older sister Angela passed away on Saturday as a result of cancer. Angela was diagnosed with melanoma in 1999, which has gotten worse over the past few years. My whole family was with her and it was a tender and sweet experience.
Angela was always the sweetest older sister to me. She'd let me follow her around the house, made up dance routines for me and my friends, introduced me to the Beatles. She wrote me lots of letters on her mission, we shared a car during my freshman year at BYU, and went to several Salt Lake City Olympic events together.
Most of all, Angela was an incredible example to me of kindness, graciousness and love. She had a testimony of her Savior Jesus Christ and his Resurrection. She loved the temple and loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and helped me to gain my testimony. I'm grateful we'll be sisters forever.
Here are the funeral arrangements:
