Thinking of You  / Alyssa King (family friend )
Angie I was thinking of you today and needed to say hi and I love you. I hope all is well in Heaven as it should be. You're thought of with love everyday. Everyone misses you sweetie and loves you very much. Close

Happy Birthday Angel   (grandparents)
Our dearest angel, grandpa and grandma are missing you a lot.  Happy belated birthday.  I'm sorry I missed it.  But as you know I was in the hospital.  I got a tattoo of your picture and I talk to it all the time.  It looks just like you.  Now you and I will be together forever.  I hope that you were there to meet Nana when she joined you in everlasting life.  Grandma and Grandpa love you and miss you every day and always and I hope that you will continue to watch over all of us.  Love you much, grandma & grandpa.

10th Birthday  / Steven Totty-Hefley (Arndt) (biological brother )
Steven and I (his adoptive Mommy) just stopped in today at his request and see that you just had a birthday and would have been 10.  It is hard for both of us to believe that this could be true. Steven's heart has been healing from all that you both suffered and he misses you. Close

Happy 10th Birthday, Sweetheart!!!!  / Donna Pavlik (Mom)

Angie,

Happy 10th Birthday!! I can just imagine the excitement you would have had this morning turning 10. I wish you were here with me so I could see your smiling face. It seems unreal that you would be 10 already. It seems like yesterday that we celebrated your 7th birthday. You were so excited over birthdays, even other peoples. I wonder what kind of presents you would have been into this year. I doubt that you would still want the dolls that you loved so much at 7.

Today is a tough day not having you here with us. I miss you so much and it is so hard on days like this. I hope you know that you are always with me in my heart and in my thougths. I love you so much and miss you like crazy. You are NEVER forgotten.

Happy 10th Birthday, Sweetheart!!

I love you and miss you so much!!

Love,

Mom

our sorrow continues  / Carol Retzer (mama carol )
I have formatted several letter and they don't seem to go through.  I hope the family is slowly healing.  We went to Disney and it was hard for all of us as we had sooooo many memories of Angie and Lindsey together.  I feel for you and your family.  We have such a difficult time with it all and we did not go through the trauma you all did.  I agree that you wonder about all the people involved,  do they ever feel the pain that we do?  The pain that our children feel because of this.  The fear we have for kids in the system right now?  A child was killed in Milw. and now Angie has been in the paper some but the outrage is because the child is black and the bio aunt killed him,  so Angie just kind of gets thrown in there.   Please try to enjoy the holidays and we still have many blessings in our lives they just get cloudy with our tears.  Mama Carol Close

Another Christmas without u, It doesn't get easier  / Donna Pavlik (mom)

Hi Sweetheart,

Two days until Christmas and you are on my mind constantly. Every year is just as hard as the last, it just doesn't get better. I miss your excitement as the holidays near and wish i could see the excitement in your eyes and the smile on your face. I always have your picture and ornament on our tree and they will always be there.

I want to only remember the happy times with you but it is so hard not to dwell on what those people did to you that took you away from me. I don't want to stay so angry but it is hard not to when this all could and should have been prevented. I miss you so much and wish I could have seen you grow up into the young lady you would have been today. To think you would be going on ten years old is hard to believe.  I bet you are the most beautiful angel in heaven. I hope you are spending Christmas with grandpa Potter and little Brett.

I love and miss you so much! You are always in my heart and on my mind! You are never ever forgotten!

Love and miss you sweetheart!

Love,

Mom

thinking of you always.  / Caitlin Hoefs (Cousin)

Hello Ang,

I can't get you off of my mind. I miss you like crazy. I keep getting replays in my mind of that horrible day and its driving me insane. I hope you enjoy the fireworks this weekend. It seems like just yesterday that we lost you. I try to just remember all of the good times we had together, and how much you looked up to everyone. I feel like such a bad person because I never got to simply say "I'm Sorry" for EVERYTHING that I did to you that hurt you. I regret ever doing anything to you. Like simply not playing dolls with you. I love you soo much Angie. I want soo bad to just be with you again and see your beautiful heart-warming smile. Give hugs & kisses to Brett & Grandpa for me.

I love you always & forever.

Love,

Caitlin

Two years and still missing you like crazy  / Donna Pavlik (Mom)

Angie,

In some ways it seems like we lost you just yesterday and in other ways it seems like forever since I held you in my arms. It has been a very painful day thinking of that dreadful day, rushing to the hospital and then having you airlifted and rushing again to another hospital and just wanting so bad to be by your side. Dad and I sat at your bedside holding your hands and rubbing your face and hair wishing so much that something would turn it all around and keep you with us. We would have taken you home no matter if it was in a wheelchair or whatever, just to have you stay with us. It was an agonizing time and I wish I could get it out of my head and just remember the good. I would do anything to curl up in bed with you one more time like they let me do at the hospital. I miss so much about you. Your funny "blonde" sense of humor, the many nights of movies and of course popcorn, all the birthdays and holidays that you loved, the camping, and sleepovers with Vanessa. There are so many memories that are so good with you and I hope we gave you the happiest 18 months of your life. Your gave us a wonderful 18 months and taught us so much about life. I miss you everyday and you will always be remembered.

I love you so much sweetheart and miss you always,

Love,

Mom

Two years ago today....  / Julie Hoefs (Aunt)

Sometimes it seems hard to believe that it has been two years since you were taken from us. There are times that it feels like it has been so much longer, but then I replay those few days leading up to your death and it feels like it was yesterday. I think about you all of the time! I still feel so much hate and anger for everyone that was there watching and allowing  you to be held down that day until you died. I hope they suffer daily with guilt, because all it would have taken is for one of them to step up and stop the torture you were enduring. You never deserved that Angie!! You were a good person who had so much potential, and such a positive future ahead of you. I love you with all of my heart. God Bless you.

Julie

Happy Birthday!!  / Julie Hoefs (Aunt)

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

I can only imagine how much more grown up and mature you would of looked by now. I am sure you would have been all smiles today. I miss you hun, and I think about you all of the time. I wish we were together to celebrate your birhtday. I know that this is all in Gods plan and someday I will understand why you were taken away from us so young, but for now all I can do is wonder why!!! I am still so angry that you are gone. I love you and miss you so much.

Sending my love to you in Heaven,

Julie

Happy 9th Birthday, Sweetheart!!!!  / Donna Pavlik (mom)

Angie,

Another difficult day as we miss you so much on your birthday. You would be 9 years old today and I just know how excited you would have been. You loved all celebrations we had even if it was for someone elses birthday. I am sure Vanessa would have been coming over after school to play with you. She misses you so much as does Caitlin, Riley, Jeremy, Sasha and everyone else. You would have been so excited to bring a birthday treat to school and get all dressed up in a beautiful dress for your special day. Things are just so unfair. Never does a day go by that I don't miss you and think of you. Today you are on my mind and in my heart more than ever as I miss you so much. I love you so much.

Happy 9th Birthday in heaven. Hope Grandpa Potter and Brett are there with you celebrating.

Love and miss you sweetheart,

Love,

Mom

Thinking of you  / Cynthia Totty (bio brother's adoptive mom )

Hi Guys,

I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are all doing.  Steven is doing okay- talks about his little sister Angel a lot.  I hope that you are getting through this long, harsh winter and find warmth and comfort in your memories of you time with Angie. 

Take care,

Cindy

Another Christmas without you  / Donna Pavlik (Mom)
Angie,

It hurts so much having another Christmas without you.  In so many ways it seems like it has been forever since I held you in my arms and then when I think of that tragic day it seems like just yesterday. I miss you so much. I try real hard to hide my tears to not upset anyone else but this time of year is just heart wrenching to not have you here. You so loved the holidays and always showed so much excitement. Don't ever think I have stopped loving you or thinking of you. You are on my mind constantly and in my heart always. I love you more than anyone knows. 

Merry Christmas and I miss you and love you so much!!

Love you sweetheart,

Love,
Mom Close

Rest in Peace dear child  / Jessica
I have family in Ladysmith and have been following Angie's case from the start. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.  I created a memorial for Angie at Find a Grave (click here to view Angie's page). I hope you don't mind.  I just wanted to do something to honor her memory and to show her family that she will not be forgotten.  May your family find peace and comfort in each other and in the wonderful memories you have of your beautiful little girl.

You are on my mind and in my heart today and everyday!!  / Donna Pavlik (Mom)
Thinking alot about you today. Tomorrow is my birthday and I just know how excited you would have been and how you would have made sure dad and you had something to give me. I miss all the celebrations with you and just the days of sitting around the house. I hope you know you are never forgotten and mentioned all the time as we talk about how we remember you. You are so much in my heart everyday. I miss you so much and still think of that terrible day as it replays over and over in my mind. We just had our foster baby at the children's hospital in minnesota and all though it was the st. paul one instead of the minneapolis one, it freshed up the horrible panic and feelings of what we went through in the day up there with you. It is so hard to think of only the good when the memories of that day keep coming into my thoughts. Thank God we have so many fun times we can think of to keep us going. 

I love you so much and miss you like crazy!!

You are never forgotten and never will be!!

Love you sweetheart!!

Love, 

Mom Close
