According to current resident Rodney Mohr, “The angel was not in that good of shape when I moved in 7 years ago because of water damage and carpenter ants. About 2 years ago she fell (or was pushed over) and the rotted wings broke off.  I set her back up and cut them flush with her back, but soon enough she will be gone. I’ve enjoyed her very much the years I’ve been here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
