"Dearest Zarzour Family, I am very sorry that you lost Ms. Angela. I pray that you can find comfort in one of my favorite scriptures because it says that He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and that death will be no more - Revelation 21:4. This helps me feel comforted and supported and I hope it does the same for you."
In loving memory of

Tributes
"I would like to extend my deepest sympathy for the loss of Angela. Our loving Creator has given us loving comfort through his word the bible, Hosea 13:14 says in part "From the power of the grave i will redeem them, From death I will recover them." May this passage, and your loving memories of Angela comfort your hearts and give you a measure of peace during this most difficult time."

"Angie, you left an indelible mark on my heart and soul forever. Rest in eternity sweetheart. "
"Almost twenty-two years ago, 50 unique, individual, and yet forever bonded souls participated in one official last act as the sum of a whole. When we graduated from Lookout Valley High School in June of 1995, most of us had known each other from the ages of daycare through all of our years of school. Some of us were, and still are fortunate enough to have been friends since birth. It seems like only a brief amount of time has passed, even though we are now screaming, like myself for example, literally, into our 40's. We always felt invincible. Powerful. Even with our differences, we somehow were a mostly cohesive bunch. We always were there for each other. We are lucky to still be a part, albeit small parts, of each other's lives, mostly. Thanks to social media. Life happened to us all. Good and bad. We still know we can call on one another. We have now started to experience loss. Things like tragedy aren't supposed to happen to us. It happens to other people, but not us. We never think it can come for one of us. We are wrong. Our invincibility was an illusion. We have now lost another dear friend. I think this is now the third out of the 50. Please, if I'm wrong, please correct me. Jodie, Joseph, and now Angie. That veil of power is quickly dissipating. I last talked to Angie over Facebook Messenger in November. We talked about "getting together after the holidays" and catching up. She was so proud of and loved her children who I never got to meet. As I love and am proud of my husband that she had not yet met. We were going to rectify that, again, "after the holidays". Now we'll never get that chance. We lost that sweet soul of Angie's Wednesday. She will forever be etched in our hearts, like all those we have lost too soon and too young. She was so selfless, that even in loss, as an organ donor, she not only will live on in our memories, but her gifts of life will help others to live. I know that whoever the lucky ones are that will receive a physical part of our friend will be blessed and hopefully, will feel as loved as our Angie. Please make and take the time to reach out. If you love someone, tell them. Mend a misunderstanding or right that wrong. If you want to talk to an old friend, do it now. Live, laugh, love, dance, see that place you wanted to always visit. Eat dessert first. Be spontaneous. Be brave. Help others when and where you can. Be like Angela (Phipps) Zarzour. Be selfless. Ricky Hendricks Smith"
"Angela was a strong, intelligent and lovely woman that had tremendous faith and took amazing care of her children. She worked hard and you could always rely on her to pick you up when you were down. Sadly, she left this life too soon. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her. RIP Angela!"
"Angie, i will never forget how full of life you were. Such a beautiful and unique person who lived for your children, family, and friends. A sweet soul that left this earth way too soon."
