Hi I'm Mark Abrahamson Angie Probst Father.

We are gather here today to remember Angie (Abrahamson) Probst

She was born along with her twin brother Andy in Minneapolis, MN at Fairview St. Mary's hospital (or MN Health) on February 3, 1984.We grew tired of the jets flying over our home and the truck traffic a 1/4 block away on Penn Ave so we moved Rolling Meadows by New Prague. While in New Prague Angie and Andy started Preschool at Small Wonders and later attended New Prague Grade School. My job at Honeywell ended and I found a new job at OTC/SPX/Bosch in Owatonna. A year after getting the job at OTC we moved to 120 Webster St, New Market, MN and after a month found that I was in Kidney Failure and started on Peritoneal dialysis in November of 1990.While at home in Owatonna Angie attended grade school and graduated from Owatonna High School June 2, 2002 and she moved to Medford Manor in Medford, MN around that time.

There was a graduation party held for Angie and Andy at their parents' home in Savage, MN. This where she met her husband Jason Probst. In June 9, 2012 Jason and Angie were married at Daybreak Church in Owatonna with the reception at the Monterey Ballroom in Owatonna. Angie LOVED her home because Her & Jason (and sometime I) worked together on many projects to improve their home and beautify their yard. She loved putting many flowers everywhere outside and feeders for deer, geese, squirrels, and many kinds of birds. And most especially she loved her pets: Her Dog – Beebe, and her Cats – Sebastian, Mouse, Caramel, & Woodsy. Angie worked at various places like Subway, Rue 21, Marices, Journey's, and Laura Baker until finding her final job at Steel County Public Health. Angie also planted and cared for flowers and vegetables at Steel County Public Health building which was lush & beautiful last summer. Angie did attend church with our family as she was growing up where we attended Spirit of Life church in New Prague and Christian Family church and Bethel church in Owatonna. She did her water baptism at Bethel.

Her favorite Bible verses were 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, & love.

But the greatest of these is love.

Angie wanted to hold on tight to people, animals and things she LOVED. So it was very hard for Her to let go: her Brother, her Animals, Jason, her Home, her Clients, her Friends, and anyone or anything that was Dear to her. Angie would go overboard to please her clients take them places, picking up groceries, medicines & other items, and advocate for her clients. She would help them discard things taking them home and giving them to other clients that needed them and sometime she would use the things herself.

Here is a quote from a daughter of one of Angie's clients:

"Angie used to take care of my dad. She was always so good to him. She cared so much for other people. She will be missed dearly".

And I heard this many times from her client's friends and family.

Angie had many funny things that she would say or do when we were around. The best was when she would go to her favorite restaurant Olive Garden. She would order a Shirley Temple and she always asked Extra Extra Extra Extra Cherries, most of the time she would get maybe five or six cherries but what she really wanted was about twenty cherries. When they would bring her, the big bowl of salad the server would ask if she wanted cheese and she would literally have them turn the crank while she counted to sixty in her mind. One other thing she would order is a bowl of Alfredo sauce to go with her bread sticks along with about four bread stick refills. When they brought her, her Shrimp Alfredo the server would ask if she wanted cheese again and she would literally have them turn the crank while she counted to sixty in her mind again. She would also do is fill up on salad and bread sticks and take her entrée home. And of course now Olive Garden has unlimited refills which she really loved.

I was her main Safe People so she would unload all of her hurts and being wronged on me and at time I felt like I was trying to love a porcupine because sometimes it really hurt.

I understand that what Angie did was shocking and she caught me of guard too. For all of you who are hurting and are caught up in the shoulda's. Like I should of said this or I should have done that. There is nothing that we could say or do that will change what happened. She had her mind made up and that was it.

I tried because I was the last on to see her on Christmas Day where I made her ham and she made the fixings and before I left, I rubbed her neck to relieve her fibromyalgia pain for about forty-five minutes and it wasn't enough.

Don't look back with Regrets but look forward with Hope.

The Hope of seeing her again one day in Heaven.

I know that she is up in heaven with Andy now because I heard her voice say "I'm Alright Daddy"

GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING!
