It was an honor to run the race in Angie’s memory on Saturday. Most of the group, who became known as “Angie’s Team” ran this year’s race in her honor. She fought a brave fight and she has won the ultimate race of eternity. She was strong in her faith and loved her Lord, so after winning her final race on Feb. 11 of this year, she is now in the presence of her Saviour. We were work out partners for 20 years, working our on Monday and Wednesdays every week. I never will run another step or take a bike ride that I don’t think of her. She was an inspiration to many in the way she handled her illness and treatment and I was blessed to be loved by her. We ran four races last year and “Angie’s Team” members will run those same run this year with her name on our backs in her honor. Thanks for this article as a tribute to her on this special day.

Mrs. Angie was an inspiration to many…When my mother Martha Anderson was shot in 1981 she faced many obstacles in her recovery and Mrs. Angie, Mr. Earnie as well as Mrs. Jo Nolin were very positive and helped my mother and I through many rough times. I appreciate everything they did for my family. I think the world needs more people like them in it….What a Blessing it was to have Mrs. Angie in my life as a Friend and an Honorable Person to whom I looked up to. This is such a touching story and I Thank NorthEscambia for publishing it on here for all to see that Mrs. Angie is Still a Hero and will be remembered for all the Good that she did while on Earth.

I went to school with Angie (McCall). She was four grades ahead of me, but she treated myself and everyone else as if we were all in her class. She is and will always be a true hero.
