To all the ECKSTEIN family: I am sorry to hear of your loss of Angela. She was always delightful and central to so many parties. In fact, where there was a party, there was Angela Eckstein and all her cousins by the dozens and aunts and uncles. How blest the Bob Schafer family was to have been able to call each and every person who answered to the name ECKSTEIN, their best friend (Bob Eckstein and Bob Schafer), their friends (Bob and Dottie Eckstein, Godparents of their son Steven), their relative (Eckstein and Schafer),etc. As Angela now sees the face of God and has had her earthly pain lifted from her human body, we thank God for giving Angela to us to enjoy, to party with, and to now savor the memories we made with her in life. Loving hugs and prayers The Bob Schafer Family (by Marianne (the oldest Schafer)
“Aunt” Angie was always a special lady to me and will always hold a special place in my heart. Our condolences along with our hugs and prayers to all of her family and friends. John and Sue Peters and family
