Houston, TX Monday, May 17, 2010 Angela was such a good person. She was one of the first people that I got to know at NRCS when I started my coop program in 1996. I was elated to see her when I arrived in DC for work in 2002. I enjoyed talking to her because she was always helpful, down to earth, and encouraging. I am so happy that I was able to maintain contact with her through Linkedin and Facebook over the past couple of years and got a chance to see her happy with her kids and family. That's the Angela I will remember! Until we meet again....Kafi Cook

, TX Wednesday, May 12, 2010 To All Affected By This Loss,I wanted to express my deepest sympathy and concern for you and also share with you the wonderful hope for our dead loved ones. As you grieve Angela’s death, please reflect on the hope in question, which comes from Jehovah God. By means of the Bible, He allows us to understand how He’ll eliminate death for good one day and bring our dead loved ones back to life. This is evident in Scriptures like (Isaiah 25: 8), (John 5: 28), (1 Corinthians 15:26), (Revelation 21:3 and 4), which can comfort you in this time of sorrow. God’s promises are guaranteed because He cannot lie. Moreover John 11 verses 11-14, 39, 43, and 44 attests that Jesus, whom God appoints to bring the dead back to life, can do it since he did it when he resurrected Lazarus and several others when he was on earth. As you await Angela’s resurrection, please heed Jesus’ counsel in John 17 verse 3 and take steps to gain accurate knowledge of God and Jesus by studying the Bible with the Jehovah’s Witnesses. In John 5 verse 39, Jesus explains that such study is imperative for all who want everlasting life one day here on earth, which will become a paradise where you can be re-united with Angela again in a world free of violence, war, sickness, old age etc… (Ps 37: 9-11 and 29), (Psalms 46: 8 and 9), (Isaiah 33:24), (Job: 33:25).

Benton, AR Friday, May 7, 2010 Mr. & Mrs. Cook,I have been praying for you and your family. Angela was a very dear friend and classmate and she will be missed. May God pour out His mercies and grace on your family during this difficult time.
II Corinthians 12: 9, 10 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
