She had a contagious smile & energy to match. She would often use this energy to enjoy R&B soul music & dance;….dancing was something she loved & even as she fought to confront life’s endless challenges, as well as subdue her most recent medical illness, she could always be seen rocking her head, snapping her fingers & jamming to the music.

Angela also was involved in activities to improve services for people struggling with substance abuse & in need of quality HIV/AIDS medical care. She was also passionate about supporting the fight against cancer during the last few months of her life.
