It was an honor knowing you. I will miss our conversations.
So sorry for your loss. Although I only met Angela once, she left a last impression on my husband and I. Her memory will live on forever. God Bless,

Amazing person, friend, co-worker and educator. I am so pleased that you were a part of the WHS family. I am honored that I was afforded the opportunity of working with you all those years. Heaven will be a better place with you there. ❤️
Sorry to hear about Angela’s passing. She and Loyd were the BEST neighbors ever. I was blessed to know both of them.
Mrs. Dutton was one of my favorite teachers. She was endlessly kind and supportive during difficult times. I think of her often, especially when thinking of the British accent I have when speaking French.
