Mi'Angel Riche

On August 29, 2012 an Angel was "airlifted" to heaven because HEAVEN needs angels too. On February 14, 2002, in Saginaw Michigan she was born to LeDante Riche and Zleta Vanburen, her parents appropriately named her Mi' Angel Iglesia Lanae Riche, because she was a true Angel.
She accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Community Temple C.O.G.I.C. Mi' Angel was truly a gift from God and was a blessing to her family and friends. Angel was full of spunk and energy throughout her life and was a constant source of amusement to her family. From dancing at Ann Herzberg Dance Studio, where she took, Tap, Jazz and Hip-hop she was a pleasure to watch, to her constant singing at all hours of the day and night. Her favorite music icon was Michael Jackson, she knew every song he made or almost every one of them. She was previously a cheerleader and had an orange belt in karate. Mi' Angel attended Handley Elementary School and was very excited about entering fifth grade this year. She was an outstanding student who excelled in her class. Mi' Angel was a child that mastered anything she attempted, a child that once you met her you would never forget her. Angel was known throughout the family by many names, Granny Neecee called her Iglesia Shardenay, Granny Marsha called her "Toots", her Mom called her "Duck", her Dad called her "Gummy Bear" Aunt Taneka called her "Bug-a-Bug" and her Grandpa Friszel called her "Hoops".
