It is now over a year since Agnes died Nana as I called her and even though we didn't get to see her that much. We called and visited by phone through-out the week. I really don't think we have that much longer till Nancy and I will see her again. It doesn't seem like she is gone.I was glad to be a part of her home-going celebration. We wish we could see what she is doing now. Living with Jesus in His very presence, What must that be like!!!

I live so far away and didn't learn that Agnes had passed away until just tonight. I am in shock and my heart is broken. I loved Agnes very much. She and I worked together in the 70s and were fabulous friends. She could make me laugh like no other!! In recent years, she found me and we began sending emails and instant messages. She still had that wonderful way of seeing things, just not quite like anyone I've ever known. She said she loved me many times, and I knew she did. I wish I could have been there for her when she was sick, but I never knew. I will pray for her and keep her in my heart always. She will always be one of the best friends I have ever had in my life. I loved and admired her very much and always will. Could someone please email me and let me k nkow what happened to my dear friend, Agnes. [email protected]
My love to you, Agnes, Your very long-time friend, Nonie

Goodbye my sweet sister. I thank God for all the special moments that we shared, especially the last five years when we spent so much time together. Words are inadequate to express the pain in my heart and I miss you so much. Beulah

So Sorry to read of the passing of Mrs Espinola. As a teenager I remember how nice she was to us as we had band practices in her garage. To put up with all that noise she had to be a saint. My sincere condolences to Tommy and Nancy......I'm sure they will miss her greatly.
