Lela's Story
Life
I am doing well, I guess over all, since my sister Angelia died Oct 20, 2009. Angelia was my only little sister, she was 48. Angelia will be missed so much. I am still having a hard time realizing she is gone. I just cannot believe it. I feel as though I am in a fog or a dream and I am waiting to come out of it, just wishing it were not true. Angelia lived in Michigan with her spouse Jon and her 2 children Sam & Elise. Angelia was brought home and laid to rest in Plainfield Indiana. Angelia was the 3rd child of Jane & Bill Riley. She Has 2 brothers-William & Richard and I am her only sister. Our sister Angelia had been depressed for some time, and unfortunately it was like a disease and consumed her mind. I had her at my home for 4 days. During her stay with me she was very quiet & ver hard to have a conversation with. Angelia was not herself and It was like I had already lost her then.

e some blood work done to see if the medicine she was taking was working so, I returned her to Michigan on the 16th, and Angelia made the call and decided she wanted out of this world that was too painful to her, Angelia took her own life on Oct 20, 2009. I wished I could have helped her. I feel as though I failed my little sister, I always protected her when we were younger and I am so saddened that I could not help her to be happy and enjoy life the way she used to. Life is a struggle now & then, and these are the kinds of struggles that I have the hardest with understanding. I am sure I will never really understand it. I think I will shed a tear for Angelia every day the rest of my life. I will always miss her. Life is so worth living.
We will remember all the great laughs & special times
It was almost time to add another candle on the cake. Happy Birthday Angelia!
We miss & love you more than you ever knew.
