Death of a friend
Heck of a way to find out that one of your dearest friends has passed - through her mother's obituary.
I met Angela in pre-school when we were 4 years old. We were best friends in grade school and again in high school. We lost contact a couple of times but we always found each other again and picked up where we left off. In recent years we remained in touch via e-mail. Around the time of her birthday I really started to worry about her and wasn't able to reach her through e-mail or her work phone. I suspected her cancer had taken a turn for the worst. Looks like I may have been right. Unfortunately I didn't really know her husband Bryant and I had lost her current snail mail address.
I would of liked to say good-bye. =(
Does anyone in Oregon have a mailing address or phone number for Hustad? I'm guessing it's a funeral home. I'll try to look it up later too and the church.
