One conversation and you felt like you knew Angie for a lifetime. Her kindness to Lorraine will never be forgotten. Her photo tribute and Mass brought us to tears. How lucky you were to have her! Our hearts are broken for you in your loss. Please know we will help you to celebrate her life whenever you are on Aunt Janes Road. Jeanne and Doug and family

I was lucky enough to have Angie and Mike attend my wedding in 2019. Having worked with Mike since 2006 we built an instant connection. He quickly became my 'work husband' and we shared everything with each other. Most especially about our family and what was going on in our lives. I felt like I knew the all the Parsons on a deep level having Mike trust enough in our friendship to share so much. There was never a time that he spoke of his beloved Angie that I didn't see a sparkle in his eye and a deep, true love that most people desire. There are no appropriate words to carry you through this grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole wonderful family. xoxo

Angie was a colleague and mentor to me but also and mostly an amazing person and friend. A loving, caring, compassionate soul. She always had time for you no matter how busy things were. She was a soft place to land and always had a gentle ear to listen. She was gentle and kind and also strong and full of fire. She loved her family, her daughter Ashley and son Jeff, and talked about them often with me over the 20 years I was so lucky to have known her, she also often spoke of her husband Mike and her parents and extended family. She cherished her family very much and it shined through when we talked. She was supportive both professionally and personally and I will cherish our relationship on both ends and carry her with me always. She was many things to many people and she will be missed by many. My thoughts go out to her children, husband, parents and her extended family and friends.

So sad to hear this news about Angie. She was a wonderful woman and I had the great pleasure of working with her previously at CHI. She was kind, caring and always put others first and was a great sales leader. Always smiling, fun to be around but super organized and led by example. She was an inspiration to us all.
Thinking of you Mike and family at this difficult time.

I'm so saddened and shocked to hear of Angela's passing. I had the privilege of working with Angela for several years now. Angela made sure that our company was well taken care of at the events that we sponsored. We recently met in May in person for the first time, and it saddens me to think that was the last time we spoke and laughed together.
Sending my sincere condolences to Angela's family, friends and co-workers.

I met Mike Parsons a short time into my tenure at New England Telephone. We became instant friends.
A short time later he introduced me to his stunning girlfriend, Angie. We also became instant friends...and then my girlfriend Lori...an instant bond between the four of us...beyond friends.
Decades of laughs, ridiculousness, children, travel, food, fun, and living life to the fullest ensued. Durable friendships are rare, and to be cherished.
Angie is a remarkable soul; she was everybody´s mother, friend, advisor, confidante, protector...
Words will never capture the feeling of losing our friend Angie, or the gratitude we feel for having known this beautiful soul and having her in our lives.
Our hearts are broken, but our memories of Angie will continue to bring a smile for eternity.
Our condolences and love to Michael, Ashley, Jeffrey, the Cerra family, the Parsons family, and the army of Angie fans and friends.

Angie was such an amazing woman. Even though she was extremely busy as a VP, she always made time to check in with me (and so many others) to ask how I was doing, what my kids were up to, etc. We shared
a birthday and I was always greeted at the beginning of the day by an email from her wishing me a happy birthday. That's just who she was: kind, thoughtful, and always up for a celebration. She also always had a supportive word for me whenever being a working mom felt too overwhelming. I really cannot imagine CII without her. She was such a huge piece of the heart of our company, that she seems too irreplaceable. She made time for everyone and we're all going to miss having her in our lives.
To Mike, Ashley, Jeff, and her extended family and friends, I will be holding you in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have with her.

CII has lost an amazing leader, but we have all lost an even better person. Every colleague or client who was lucky enough to spend time with Angie was better off for that experience. And they knew it. Her genuine compassion and depth of caring was clear to all. No one can take her place, but her memory and legacy will live on forever.

Angie had such a huge impact on my life. She was a loving and caring friend, as well an inspirational and visionary leader at NMHCC and CII. In my personal life, Angie was there to support me when I lost a loved one or when I may have been faced with medical issues. At work, she was my supervisor and an indispensable coach. Like me, there were so many colleagues at work who admired and respected Angie.
Angie was so engaging with everyone. When it came to teamwork, she knew how to turn 9 individual parts into 10. From forming a social club at work to hosting lunches at her home, she always found a way to bring people together. When I walked by her office, I would often see her eating various fruits. Like she would do with everyone else and with a big smile, she would invite me in to enjoy the same. Angie had all the traits and qualities of a truly, extraordinary person her loving kindness being the greatest of all. Thank you for everything, Angie!
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike, Ashley, Jeffrey, her parents, and the rest of the family. Angie will be watching over all of you from Heaven.

Angie was such a wonderful person. Always showing concern for others. She will definitely be missed but try not to dwell on the loss and think instead of where she is now....out of this horrible world and experiencing ultimate bliss. She's happy, be happy for her. You'll continue to miss her for a long time but be comforted in knowing that she is happy and in God's hands. I love you guys....Big hugs to you all.
