My heart goes out to her two kids, husband, and all her family and friends. My Husband and I were the first on the scene. He was the one who helped get the boys out of the vehicle. It was very scary becasue we thought the car was on fire. He quickly realized he could not help Angela and the only thing was to try and get the boys out safely and calm them down. My prayers are with her family and friends as the suffer her loss.
