Six days ago, one of my biggest champions and realest friends, Angelica Cob-Baehler moved on from this place. She was one of the strongest women I have ever known - fighting her cancer like friggin’ Rocky, enduring chemo, immunotherapy, a tracheotomy, feeding tubes for months on end, and experimental cancer treatment trials. I watched her go through many stages for over a year, but a few things remained constant: her sarcastic/wicked sense of humor, her positive outlook, and the incredible love she had for her family. We had a lot of wins together for over 10 years, and I am incredibly grateful she was a born fighter/no shit-taker because she practically willed me into existence as a young artist when she “stole my files” from limbo at Columbia Records and brought them to life at Capitol Records. She was like a big sister to me, showing me the ropes and always having my back. She never became a yes-person and was quick to check me when I needed checking - that was family. I have procrastinated posting this because it makes it feel a little too final, but I don’t believe people ever really die - she just had to leave that body behind. Out of body, and full of spirit now. Sadly, she also left behind two amazing young girls, and an incredible husband who was the definition of ROCK through this whole process. As for me, I’ll never let them forget that Angelica embodied the angel in her name, was a woman of incredible integrity and character, a massive giver, and a DOPE human being. I know today is #GivingTuesday, and if you have been a longtime KatyCat and a friend of mine or Geli’s, let’s honor her by donating to her favorite charity, Generosity.org by clicking the link in bio. She may be gone from this place, but she will never be forgotten. Rest in power, my angel, and don’t worry, we got Chapman and the girls. #RIPGeli

"Kuus päeva tagasi lahkus ta siit ilmast mujale," nentis Perry. "Ta on üks tugevamaid naisi, keda ma tean - ta võitles vähiga nagu Rocky, talus kuude kaupa keemiaravi, immunoteraapiat, trahheotoomiat, toitmisvoolikuid ja eksperimentaalset vähiravi. Nägin teda aasta jooksul läbimas mitmeid staadiume, kuid mõni asi jäi muutumatuks: tema sarkastiline/vinge huumorimeel, positiivne hoiak ja tohutu armastus pere vastu."

Hollywood Reporter kirjutas 2012. aastal, et Perry oli 2004. aastal pääsenud Sony firma Columbia Records leivale, ent kui koostööst midagi välja ei tulnud, jõudis ta tänu Cob-Baehleri tegutsemisele Capitol Recordsi alla. Lauljatari sõnul oli Angelica kogu tema kraami Columbiast varastanud ja Capitolis ellu äratanud. "Ta oli mulle suure õe eest, kes näitas, kuidas asjad käivad, ning oli mulle alati toeks."
