Angeline Dorothy Rago

November 7, 1919 - May 30, 2009

My mom passed away suddenly last Saturday night. Though she was elderly we are still in shock. This photo is one of my favorites, taken of her by a boyfriend of mine way back in 1971. Unfortunately, he is also deceased. The photo was taken in her kitchen in the house I grew up in and the house where she passed. Though she had her struggles, she was funny, philosophical and loved music. She taught me not to judge people by how they looked; it was how they behaved that counted. She was a very spiritual person. Though I will miss her terribly she has not left me. I imagine she is with her parents, now, who she loved so deeply and missed dearly; plus many other family members and friends, including my dad. I am trying to imagine what their reunion was like after all these years. I know she died quickly, did not suffer and left five great kids behind who loved her very much and will miss her.
