An everlasting love

Editor’s note: Angela Whitlach was born in Newton. This handwritten letter was received in the newsroom on Friday.

Angela Marie Whitlach — this larger than life personality would light up every room she entered. She never knew a stranger. She had a heart of gold, and like her mother, would do anything for her friends.

She had the most beautiful smile.

Her favorite shows were “Criminal Minds,” “Pioneer Woman,” “The Long Island Medium,” “The Waltons,” and “Little House on the Prairie.”

She had an affinity for a good cup of coffee, great conversation and visiting her friends.

Her favorite flower was calla lilies. Her favorite color was green.

I love this woman today just like I did before her passing on Nov. 14, 2014. I miss you Angela Marie Whitlach Lowry so very much. She was my wife.
