2008 Amherst Scholarship recipient Daisy Timlin sent us the following note, which only reinforces our pride in Angela, for inspiring such a fine young lady:

Dear Coniglio Family: I am so humbled by this wonderful honor that words escape me. Angela's contribution to women's sports and more importantly to everyone she touched is beyond inspiring. As I read her life story I just could not believe the similarities between us! How could anyone know that I too had my own unique way of pronouncing words; grasshopper has never been pronounced the same after I renamed them "assgroppers". One of my first songs, Home on the Range, became "where the deer and the ants go to play"; forget the antelopes! Your memories of her childhood are so vivid that it brought all of my wonderful memories back, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I am always so impressed when I read of women athletes who have made such an impact before Title IX. I have reaped the benefits of Angela, who has allowed me to pursue my love of sports. I am a little nervous and yet very excited to attend St. Bonaventure next year and play lacrosse. My parents have warned me that a Division I school will be challenging, but I can't wait to get started with my new and exciting life of college, lacrosse, and most importantly teaching and coaching. My lacrosse coach, Mrs. Battaglia has always told us that we must give back to the sport that has given us so much, and I can only hope to give back half as much as Angela. Again, thank you so much for this tremendous honor! When I begin school next year at St. Bonaventure, I will think of Angela and try to be true to her spirit and legacy.
	Sincerely Yours, Daisy Timlin
P.S. I wanted you to know that when I received this award, my mom was telling a good friend about Angela. Little did she know that her friend Mary Sinclair McGuire not only lived across the street from you, but also used to baby-sit Angela and Angelo. She remembered your family with great fondness and wishes you the best.

Dear Coniglio Family,

     I am so very honored to accept this award, and will remember Angela as I am trying to create my own path in life. After reading all of Angela�s stories, I was so inspired by how many people she has touched. She has had an impact on so many people�s lives, on and off the field.

     The one story about her actions after a vandal threw a rock into her car made me laugh. I can�t believe she ran him down and called his mom! All of these stories showed me how much of a beautiful person she was, full of determination and joy.

     Next year, I will be attending Suny Brockport to major in Physical Education and will be competing on the swim team. I will keep Angela�s spirit and competitiveness with me always. Thank you again, this award is important in remembering who Angela was and keeping her memory alive.

     Someday when I am teaching, I hope I will be lucky enough to inspire at least half the amount of people as did Angela.

Sincerely,

Eva Lankes

2010 Scholarship recipient Casey McGuire sent these comments.

Dear Coniglio Family,

At the recent awards assembly, as they were announcing the qualities and standards of Angela, and what this award represented, I was truly and immediately impressed with the young woman and young adult Angela was. When my name was announced as the recipient of the award, I can honestly tell you I was shocked, and honored.

I truly enjoyed reading about Angela, the similarities I realized we shared, and all of her accomplishments. I loved reading about her sense of humor, and the funny jokes she would crack, as I have a very similar sense of humor and desire to make others laugh and smile. I can just picture her changing in the car on her way from sporting event to sporting event, as I did the same through my basketball and travel soccer days.

I aspire to grow as Angela did, following her passion for education, and for athletics. She is truly an inspiration to me, and girls like me everywhere. Angela�s persistence in sports has inspired me to continue my passion for all different kinds of athletics and hopefully start a high school coaching career of my own one day.

Recently, Angela�s inspiration and message to �Be strong. Fight. Always look upward. Strive for the gold� has also inspired me, and my lacrosse team, to become Section IV Class C Champions. Her message inspired me individually, and I played my heart out every minute of every game, just as Angela did. For my persistence and success on the field, I was selected to the All-Western New York team. This feat can be attributed to the lessons Angela has spread, and taught me through her message.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to represent Angela, and hopefully to spread her message half as effectively as Angela and your family have been able to.

It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Coniglio.

Sincerely,

Casey McGuire
