For Her We Mourn...
''Angie Zapata had the eyes of an angel. To look at pictures of her are to see beautiful, deep, soulful eyes that speak in ways that transcend words. They speak of a difficult life, but also of a sense of deep inner peace that belie her young 18 years of life. AngieZapata.jpgThey reach off of the page as if to invite you to be her friend. And it's hard not to want to take her up on her offer.'' --Donna Rose
Angie Zapata (1990 - 2008)
Angie Zapata was brutally murdered in her apartment on July 17, 2008 by Allen Andrare. He beat her with his hands and fists, then hit her repeatedly with a fire extinguisher. Most chilling of all, he then recalled that he ''thought 'it' was dead, but it started making gurgling sounds. I hit it again till it stopped.'' Angie was only 18 years old. And, worst of all, she was murdered for nothing more than her gender identity.
Angie was a transgender. What was done to her is unthinkable, and must never happen again. Please join us, and help protect the transgender community. Angie's beautful life gives us hope; we must make sure what happened to Angie never happens again. Please, light a candle for Angie.
