Sailor, thanks for posting this link...
Keep trying. I was just able to get in. I'm sure it's a spike in traffic (understandably) that could not have been predicted.
This is a reminder to me about cherishing my remaining time with my own Mom. We never know. All we can do is live each moment to the fullest with the people we love the most.

I feel so horrible for Angela. She's one of my favorite skaters...first losing Elena, and now her mother... bless her heart, poor thing. I feel so awful and admit I cried upon hearing this. 
Prayers to her and her family of course, especially her poor father...

One of the guys I work with his mother was killed in a car accident right before Thanksgiving. He said he and his father were hanging outdoor decorations on the house when the Highway Patrol told them the news. He was telling me that he still has not shed a tear over it. He and I talked about being in shock. Anyhow, I guess the reason I told you that is possibly when Angela's coach died and she lost someone so dear to her it could help her now to deal with the loss of her mother. It's all so tragic though. Prayers to Angela and her family.

I would think that being there... being a part of the actual accident... would intensify the trauma even further. It is all just crushingly sad. One moment the thrill and anticipation of competition, the next, devastation. It really does remind us how fragile life is and how your world can change forever in an instant. She has always seemed to be a strong individual, but one wonders how much this young woman can endure. Words are superfluous at this point, but my heart truly goes out to her and her family.
Although I would think skating is far from her mind, there have been threads on other boards speculating over the possibility that the USFSA might give her a bye to Worlds.

How incredibly sad. I've never met Angela or her mother, but people I've talked to at various competitions always mentioned her mother as such a nice person.
I sent a note of condolences on Angela's site and hope many more GS members do too.
As for a bye to worlds......I doubt that Angela would want to go or would accept under the circumstances. And I wouldn't be surprised if this marks the end of her competitive career. I hope it does not, but we have no idea how this will affect this remarkable young woman.
Now, the ISU should certainly invite Angela to compete in next season's Grand Prix. After all, she was the gold medalist at Skate America.
I know it's selfish, but Angela, your fans would like to see you skate again.
