So very sorry for your loss.
I have so many fond memories of staying at Aunt Agnes and Uncle Harold's as a child. One special time I remember was when Aunt Agnes made my doll a dress out of a gold colored taffeta material. I thought it was so beautiful. I loved going to their house. She was a special person with a kind heart. She will be missed by all those who loved her.

Nancy & family....so sorry for your loss. Agnes was a wonderful person who was always helping others. She will be missed.
Nancy, I'm writing on behalf of my mother, Edna Sefton, who was a close friend to Agnes for many, many years. In their golden years they visited by phone before mom went to Heritage Woods. She was very fond of Agnes and saddened to learn of her passing. Your sister was one of God's earthly angels, and I'm certain that she's in good Hands; may you take comfort in His all consuming love.
So sorry for your family at this loss of a good lady May God give you all Peace and Gods love. ..
I worked with Agnes years ago. Heaven has received another angel.
Agness was a very special lady. I enjoyed visiting with her!
