Official statement of Big Ang's death(USmagazine)
"Thank you for
your love, prayers, and unconditional support of Angela right to the
very end. She truly went out richer than any monetary value could ever
amount to. The family asks for privacy, and peace during this most
difficult time. In typical Big Ang fashion, we know she would say 'Love
you my babies!' This page will remain open as a celebration of who she
was and will always be. It has been my esteemed privilege and honor to
represent her in the highest regard via social media. Vinnie Medugno."
Raiola
was diagnosed with throat cancer last year in March after doctors
discovered a lemon-sized tumor. After two surgeries, she thought she was
in the clear only to be diagnosed later with stage IV lung and brain
cancer.
