Angelica Gonzalez, 1985-2009

Angelica Adela Gonzalez was killed in a car accident on May 15, 2009. A recent college graduate, she was still waiting for the chance to show the world her potential. Originally from Texas, she moved to Kansas City for an internship at Hallmark. When they didn't offer her a real job, she was devastated but decided to stay in the city. As of the date of her death, she was grudgingly working a customer service job because she never found the courage to quit and pursue her dreams. She really didn't even know her dreams. She is survived by her parents and two younger brothers. Angelica's sister died at age 14 in 2001 from complications of scoliosis and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Angelica always feared death because of this event.
