Welcome to HATS
Angela Edgecombe
Last Wednesday Angela finally succumbed to the cancer she had been courageously battling over the last few years.
The great sadness felt at losing such a good friend, is mixed with happiness at the thought of the inspiration and joy she brought to everyone who knew her.
Just thinking about her makes you smile!!
She was a gifted performer on stage, appearing in a number of HATS plays. More recently, she pursued her passion for singing, developing into an accomplished and inspiring singer.
