Sister Wives: Janelle Reflects On The Meaning Of Friendship Before The Tragedy

Sister Wives fans may recall that just a day before the episode aired, Janelle posted her thoughts about friendship on Instagram. She wrote about how connections shift across different stages of life and how relationships often deepen when people share the same “emotional neighborhood.” She credited author Mel Robbins’ Let Them for helping her understand the value of intentional friendships.

Janelle explained that the Vegas years gave her friendships she didn’t fully appreciate at the time. But when she moved to Flagstaff, building a new support system was far harder. COVID made it even more challenging. Still, she eventually found a few women who helped her feel grounded again. She also shared that friendships outside one’s “neighborhood” require effort. They grow only when both sides show up, even if the early stages feel awkward. This lesson helped her rebuild community after moving to North Carolina.

The three women laughed, shared stories, and talked about Kody. Angela passed away on October 1 at just 51 years old.

Her daughter, Taylor Reinoso, shared on GoFundMe that Angela was “the heart of their home,” someone who cooked, nurtured, organized, and cared for her family with love and consistency. Her sudden loss devastated her husband, Craig, and their young son, Isaac. Janelle honored Angela with an emotional Instagram tribute. She shared stories of how they always tracked each other’s locations and how Angela regularly checked in with light-hearted messages like, “Why are you in Canada?” or “What are you doing at DFW?” Janelle wrote that she still expects Angela to text her.

Fans filled the comments section with sympathy. One wrote, “She loved you so much! She is our guardian angel now.” Another said, “You could tell what a loving friend she was. So sorry for your loss.” Many expressed that such a profound bond is rare and heartbreaking to lose. Janelle ended her tribute with a promise, “Meet you on the other side, my friend.”
