Big Ang continued to light up the room during her final TV appearance, filmed only two weeks before her death.
The reality starlet
walked in with a large smile and left making peace — though fleeting
for reality TV — on Wednesday’s reunion episode of “Mob Wives," which
was a tribute to the show’s past six seasons.
“Hello ladies!” she said in her iconic raspy voice.
Dealing with intense cancer treatments clearly put the show's drama into perspective for Raiola.

"You really think about it and was it really that serious? No," she said, after watching a clip with of a fight with Renee Graziano.
"At the time we thought it was, but now you look back and you're like, what were we even arguing over?" she asked.
The ailing-but-stylish reality star,
decked out in a flowing black dress, briefly stopped in for a final
sit-down with her co-stars, and reflected on coming on to the show.
"I was like, 'I can't do that, I can't talk in front of people, I'm
nervous,'” she recalled of signing up during the second season at the
urging of show creator and longtime friend Jennifer Graziano.
"And then we had a good time," she said of her time on show.
The 55-year-old only chatted for a few minutes before leaving because she wasn’t feeling well, but left the women with key advice.
“Girls, I hope you control yourselves today ... try to behave girls,” she said as she walked out of the set for the last time.
The words seemed to make a temporary impression with the ladies known for drama.
"We've come so far and we've talked about all the fights, all the
animosity, all the aggression, all the stress, but we didn't really talk
about the biggest fight that's going on here, and that's Ang's life," Karen Gravano said after Railoa’s departure.
“I think for me, I'm going to say I'm going to have a relationship with everyone to make sure that she's good,” she continued.
"I think Angela brought a lot of laughter and comedy," Graziano added, calling Railoa the "neutral party."

Railoa even got the mob wives to agree on something.
"It feel like something's missing," Drita D'Avanzo admitted.
"She's just a part of us now," Carla Facciola added.
While no fights went down in Raiola’s presence, the ladies soon returned to their standard showdowns moments later in the special.
Reps for the larger-than-life star said Raiola insisted on delivering her last words on camera.
"Angela filmed her piece that day at her own will, because she felt it
was important to be there for each and every one of you," a rep wrote on
the star's official Twitter page.
