She was such a strong woman; formidably intelligent; principled; quietly charismatic; practical and businesslike; organised and committed; gracious, dignified, and a great cook; a pleasure to talk to (but she knew the difference between talk and action); and with an immense kindness. If you oppose the death penalty, people always ask you: "But what if it was your child/spouse/parent?" Almost uniquely in my experience, Angela did not falter at that. She could distinguish between principle and private feeling, and knew that there is no solution in vengeance. It seems inutterably cruel that such a valuable human being, with so much to give, should have been so violently deprived of son, husband, mother and sister, enough to break anyone's spirit; and then should should have to succumb herself to the insidious disease at only 66. Lord, what a waste. Do not think that life is fair. Perhaps the Cropper Foundation could invite sympathisers and supporters and fellow-travellers to find in this a way of greater involvement, by helping it develop and implement a programme for change? A way for people who care (but perhaps lack Angela's clear vision and dynamism) to push forward the work she wanted to do? RIP.
