I still think of Nessie often. Her sense of humor was so uplifting to me and I am sure many others. Sometimes I even find myself using her words and phrases that only she could make up. Her cousin, Mary Cameron, misses her and speaks of her almost daily. Nessie was always such an inspiration to me as well as encouraging. I know she has been looking down from Heaven on all those she loved and trying to keep us as safe as possible.

Aunt Nessi (Agnes) was such a warm compassionate person. She would go out of her way to be your friend. I miss her very much and will always cherish my memories of her. P. S. She made the best mega sandwiches. Love you Aunt Nessi

Agnes was our Dad's (Louis Wienckowski) secretary at NIMH for many years. She would let us play on the typewriters and gave us plenty of paper when we came to visit Dad at the office. She was very sweet and kind to us. Agnes typed Dad's Ph.D dissertation and I'm sure worked tirelessly for Dr. W. She attended his 80th birthday in 2001 and the visitation upon his death in 2004. Our whole family loved Agnes. Condolences to her family.

Our dear, sweet, Aunty has always been such an inspiration in our lives. Her thoughtfulness touched our family daily for years as our neighbor. Her kindness and sense of humor uplifted and brightened so many of our days. We feel blessed to have known her and called her our friend. We will carry her "love and smacks" with us forever.

So sorry to hear about the passing of my dear cousin Nessie. Been a long time since I saw her but always thinking about her. I was just thinking about her the other day when I got the sad news. She will be missed dearly by everyone. She is now in the arms of Our great Lord. God bless to all.
