“Heaven just gained another angel. (For all those who feel I didn’t mention Angela last night, I did. But I also did not speak of her situation bc it is Not my business nor place to speak of it until the time was right. You have to know when to respect someone’s privacy) You will be missed beautiful @biggangvh1”

“We’re not here for a long time, we are here for a good time” Big Ang used to tell me this all the time, as she would point to her tattoo of the words. She would adamantly tell me this while going through my trying time, this is how she truly lived. She was always happy and positive and wanted to spread her Love to everyone around her to be happy as well. She gave so much of herself to all. She had that special gift to make everybody feel like a somebody. My boys and I adored her, she will be truly missed. Our prayers are with her family, they were all that mattered to her. May God Bless her Beautiful soul✨#bigloveforbigang”

“The night I first went @biggangvh1 bar we had a ball and it was just us and family! I met her on a few occasions and I said she always reminded me of myself. She is full of life, laughter, joy, a strong matriarch and every time we got together we had a ball. The Jones’ will like to send our deepest and most sincerest love and condolences to the Raiola Family . She’s in a better place smiling down on family and friends, a true angel. May God bless the Raiola family ? #SIP Big Ang you will never be forgotten. #FuckCancer”
