I'm surprised and sorry to hear Aunt Agnes died. Too bad she didn't make it one more month to 104. Remember the great parties she had for her 95th and 100th? She certainly was an inspiration and she will be missed.
Love and prayers to all the family.

Aunt Agnes will always be lovingly remembered. She was my Mother's partner in the Guest House and somehow shared the upbringing of 10 kids each summer. My greatest sympathy to all my cousins.
