About Angeline |
Angeline was an only child. Her body was found under a windowsill in room 211. She had not been burned but died of smoke, heat and the crush of other children pushing to get to the windows. Angeline's mother, Julia, never recovered from this disaster - she continued to dress in black even years later. There was no counseling for the families, and life was expected to just continue on.
Both of Angeline's uncles were in WWII, her Uncle Stanley was hospitalized at North Chicago Veteran's hospital with shell shock and her Uncle Joseph, a Lieutenant in the Air Force, died around 1995. Neither had been married.
All of Angeline's immediate family members are now deceased; only her Godmother and cousins are still living.
