I first met "Agg" in 1961 when I began dating her nephew, Jack Mathison. Agg was the first family member to welcome me into their clan, so to speak, and she did so with open arms. She was one of the nicest and most genuine women I ever had the pleasure of knowing. She and my mother shared the same names, i.e. Mary Agnes, so perhaps that was what initially opened up a space for her in my heart. However, over the last fifty or so years, Agg was always a great giver, a good friend, a great aunt to my husband, Jack, and just an all-around good Christian. She will be sorely missed by everyone who ever knew her and my heart and prayers go out to Sammy and Tommy and the rest of the family. God Bless you all.
