"When I found out you were going to be on #MobWives I knew you you would change everything. I knew you would make the show #Bigger and Better than it could ever be!," shared Drita on her Instagram. "I knew everyone would love you because everyone always loved you. What I didn’t know was that you would be taken so soon. I wish you were still here. I visit you as often as I could to just talk about everyday things."
She continued: "You brought love and laughter in our homes that followed with tears and broken hearts when you became an #Angel There can be thousands of reality shows and thousands of reality stars but no one will ever come close to being you (that I know) I miss you and thought about you all night."
She added: "3 yrs ago today our hearts broke and our tears fell. You left us with memories that I hold on too..real tight. I love you and miss you terribly. I’m real emotional right now. 💔 You went from #BigAng to #BigAngel #RIP my friend 🙏🏼😓 #RIP 2/18 #FCancer"

"To a very special lady💋...You never wanted to shine without making sure that everyone around you was shining too✨That is always how you made me feel, and I will never forget it," wrote Season 4 cast member Alicia DiMichele. "You had this magical aura and we all saw it and felt it.... I still feel it when I think of you. So thankful my children and I got to enjoy the beautiful impact of you!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #bigloveforbigang"
Renee Graziano's sister and executive producer of Mob Wives also took to Instagram to pay tribute to Big Ang. "Hi friend!! Miss you all the time these last three years ... I think about you often, talk to you in Church, and see you in your daughter now!! I’m working hard to keep my promise don’t you worry!! Thank you for what you gave to my life and for what you left behind in my heart. ❤️❤️ #BigAngForever #BigANGel," she wrote.
Big Ang's sister Janine Detore shared an emotional lengthy post about how it's been difficult to move one after Ang's passing. "At 3:01 am we watched you take your last breath 😞 3 years you left us , you went home with mommy & daddy . That day you took apart of me with you . I’ve never been the same , I struggle every day & wonder why God took you 😞 if I could have one more day . You were the best person I’ve ever known.

I actually feel you ,when I’m down & feel like I can’t go on I go to our pictures or your memory chest & I think look at all the things you’ve accomplished in 55 years wow I’m so proud to call you my sister 😞 Angela you made it , you are forever legendary, you are forever the one & only Big Ang they’ll never be another like you & for me they’ll never be a better sister, friend .
