LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Donald Henderson and William Moreland have spent the last 22 days without Angela Anderson. A mother of four and Henderson’s partner for more than a decade, Anderson died after a UPS plane crash on Nov. 4.

Henderson described the emptiness her death left behind. “You couldn't get a better woman, I'll never find one like her, she supposed to be the last one,” he said. “Wake up looking for her, don’t smell that food she cooks… she used to cook dinner every night.” He said it’s the little things that leave the biggest hole.

On Nov. 4, Anderson went to sell scrap at Grade A Auto Parts. Henderson nearly went with her. “I love you,” he recalled her saying, “kissed me… said I'll be right back… that was it. That was it… wasn't soon after that it all went to hell.” Minutes later, black smoke filled the sky, signaling the crash.

Henderson remembered rushing to William Moreland — the father of two of Anderson’s children — in the immediate aftermath. The two men biked miles to the victim reunification center, confronting the reality that she was gone. The reunification center is where WDRB talked to the men the first time, Nov. 4 Henderson said, “She's all I got… so I don’t know… I don’t know how this is gonna turn out.”

Now, Henderson and Moreland face the emptiness her death has left behind. The trio had called themselves “three peas in a pod,” an unconventional family that spent a decade under one roof, surviving their darkest days together. Both Henderson and Anderson had battled alcoholism, but Henderson felt they were turning a new chapter — one abruptly cut short.

Henderson keeps memories of Anderson close, wearing a sweatshirt with photos of them together, a symbol of the 10 beautiful years they shared. “She’ll never be forgotten. She’ll never be forgotten,” he said. Until the day they meet again, he keeps her close.
