Agnes taught my son when he was in preschool at Temple Beth Hillel. She had such a passion for her job. She was always smiling and truly made a difference to anyway who was fortunate enough to cross paths with her.

It was such a comfort to me to meet Agnes' family today. All the more because I saw the likeness of her in their faces - it felt like I could still give her the usual hug through them, thanks for letting me do that. Agnes: I hope you watched us all today and that you felt the love that expressed! You deserve that!

I would just like to say what a wonderful family Agnes has. Just got back from the church and it was filled with people who loved and adored Agnes. Agnes was very lucky to have such a wonderful support system and such a great family. We were all blessed to have known her and have her in our lives. Today was a lovely tribute to Agnes.

I hadn't known Miss Agnes for very long, but when I met her at Dr Katzen's office we made an instant connection because of her warm loving spirit! I will miss her dearly. She may not be on earth with us in the physical sense but her spirit will always be with us! My deepest and sincerest blessings go out to the family. May God comfort and keep you in your time of grief. Submitted lovingly,

To Rick and sons and family, we give our deepest sympathies and thoughts. We met Agnes from Dr. Katzen's office and found out she lived in Belmont Hills too, so we all quickly connected. We saw her once or twice a week for the last few years and she would always welcome us with a warm smile and gave good advice to our kids. She will be dearly missed.

From the first call I made to Dr. Katzen's office, I was comfortable because of Agnes's welcoming and generous spirit. I thought, "what a perfect person for a doctor's office."
Each time I was there, she was just as kind...never too busy to make one feel at ease. I trust she is experiencing the same Caring Light she shone on others. Rest in Peace, dear lady, it was a blessing to meet you.

I'll always remember Agnes as kind, generous and a strong person who spoke her mind and advocated for others. My fondest memory is when she made it known to everyone when I turned 13 years old. My prayers and heart go out to her Family and especially her Husband Rick, who was close to my late Brother as well.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know her well, I knew her from my time with Dr Katzen. She was always smiling, and always tried to help make me comfortable. She really warmed up the room, and she will be missed by anyone who knew her, whether they knew her well, or only in passing. She will be missed.

Dear Rick and Boys,
I think the Good Lord must have needed an angel on an emergency basis. There's no other reason for her to go now. Her memory will always be a source of strength for me, Julia and all that knew her. Stay strong Boys. She's expecting it of you. Deepest condolences,

I was so sorry to hear this tragic news ...i grew up right next door to Agnes . She was kind and gentle as a kid and that kindness stayed with her as an adult . Two years ago i ran into Rick and Agnes at Walnut Street Theater to see White Christmas ..as it turned out our seats were right next to each other ... during that show she took my hand so many times and smiled with me ... it was so wonderful to see her !! I know this world will miss her and yet heaven has gained another angel . My deepest sympathy to Rick and her children and also Polly , Bobby ,Michael, Mary and Jimmy ... and the rest of her family ,friends and neighbors...All my love and prayers ..God Bless you , Janice Fusaro Roberts

My deepest sympathy to Rick and to his and Agnes' wonderful sons. I have fond memories of Agnes dating to our childrens' experiences at Belmont Hills School and in the Narberth Scouts. Long after those days had passed, she continued to greet me with her customary sparkle when our paths crossed in the Acme or elsewhere. She was an extraordinary person.

Dear Dixon Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Agnes' passing. I had the pleasure to work with her at Belmont Hills and had the honor to know her. She always had a warm smile and hug for me even after the boys moved on from BH. She was such a light, full of laughter! I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Dear Dixon Family:
I worked with Agnes at Belmont Hills Elementary in the Autistic Support class. She was a dynamic person, always willing to go above and beyond for anyone and she always had a smile on her face. I always enjoyed runnning into her in the neighborhood, she always greeted me with a warm hug. I was so sad to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May she rest in peace and may your memories of her help you through this difficult time.

Agnes had a gift for putting things in perspective-that smile, that laugh and the funny one liner tossed over her shoulder. I wish she were here to help us through this one.

To the Dixon Family,
I had the privilege to work with Agnes over the last year. My heart is broken to hear of her passing. I keep reaching for the phone to call her and see how things are going. I'm going to miss her deeply. She truly adored her family and in the short time I knew her, I could tell she enjoyed being their mother. Please accept my deepest sympathy and I hope the memory of her love gives you peace.

I am still both shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Agnes. She was one of the most outgoing and generous women I have known. Agnes and I volunteered together at Penn Valley school before the Belmont Hills redistricting. The Dixon boys were in Boy Scouts with my sons and Agnes was always a fixture there as well. All three of her sons have earned the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout. Agnes (along with Rich) worked tirelessly for the Scouts and our community for years. The loss of this phenomeal woman will be felt by so many. May God Bless and comfort her family and friends as they face the future without her guiding light. . .

Agnes was a person who believed in giving all you can back to your community. She did enough volunteering for all of us combined. She was a kind hearted person who always had time to listen to a friend in need. I will miss her terribly. Whenever she came in the library she would give me a big hug. I will miss those hugs. I was so blessed to have known her. My prayers go out to her family, friends and neighbors. She will never be forgotten.
