Dear CEO Setarek
 thank you so much for your email

I am very sad and shock to hear the news and it's reminds me to turn back
to 2010 the year for TTM first funded by the DRF through PDF,  and that was
the first time I met Angie when she came to TTM Kiribati, represented PDF
to help our DPO.

I really known her as well that she was honestly, kindness and always
fighted on the CRPD for us (PWDs) especially for women and girls with
disabilities.

Also she was the one who always standby helped me to many kinds of my
responsibility for PWDs. Thank you so much Angie.

❤ Angie, even though you left this world, you're always alive in our
hearts, but the treasures gona missing too. Big thankful to you so much and
may the good Lord bless your soul  to rest in peace. Love and miss you our
Champion. 😭😭😭
 My condolences to your husband and your son and God be with them all.
