It is never easy to say good-bye, although it is extremely important!

Angela Darlene (Payne) Hess was born Nov 2, 1970 in McDowell Co., WV.

She was predeceased by her parents, Roland Payne and Chloe Margaret (Mahan) Beers,

two brothers, Mark and Keith Payne and son, Jarrod DeChristian (JD) Payne.

She's survived by two sisters Shelia and Kathy, son Tommy Gene and many beloved neices and nephews and her beautiful companion Robert (Bob) Altare.

Angela was a gifted artist and loved writing poetry.

As you may know, Angela loved others deeply and enjoyed each moment she got to spend with each person that ever crossed her path.

Angela also was passionate about family. Family was so much more to her than just a decorated branch in the family tree. Family, to her, meant connection in your soul. Family meant love, meant God. Family meant forever.

Angela was special.  She spent every thought with God in mind. When she felt sad, she talked it over. When she felt pain, she talked it out. When she felt happy, SHE TALKED IT LOUD!!  I loved to see her get excited and get to laughing out loud ... That in itself was a contagious blessing!! I'm proud to say Angela mattered! She was proud to say you matter too. She was here and made a powerful impact on many of our lives. I admire the way Angela loved. I especially admired the way it was so natural of her to make sure each of us were reminded that we are loved. I personally admire her outward reach and desire for more of the Lord in each relationship. She is truly a soul to learn from . We will miss our beautiful Angela so much. Thankfully, not for too long though.  For in just a twinkle we will all be as one together again. Praising God right along side of our Angel Angela

Thank you all once again for joining me in honoring The Lord  and being thankful for each memory of Angela that we hold in our minds.   For every  moment of her that we shall forever carry in our hearts. May we all continue to love deeply, wholeheartedly, with absolute joy. I pray each gift of love from Angela remain a part of us, that we share often in our own journey.

To defeat a world of pain, you need only to smile.
