We were deeply saddened by the news of your mother's passing. Gloria and I would never end a trip to Pittsburgh without visiting with "little Aggie". We enjoyed listening to her stories as much as she enjoyed telling them. We laughed a lot together. Your mom was a very special person and one of my favorite people in the world. Her absence will leave an empty spot in our visits to Pittsburgh. Your mom was a woman of great faith so she is no doubt reaping the rewards of her faithfulness. Hope to see you all soon. God Bless your family and ours.

I am deeply saddened after hearing of your mother's passing. Whenever we visited Pittsburgh we could never leave without visiting with "Little Aggie." She was always a pleasure to be with. Gloria and I loved listening to her stories as much as she loved telling them. We all laughed together. From now on there will be an empty piece to future Pittsburgh visits. We will all miss her physical presence but we can can be consoled by the fact that she was a woman of great faith who is now reaping the rewards of her faithfulness. She was one of my favorite people in the world. Hope to see you all next time I am there. God Bless you all!

I will dearly miss Aunt Aggie. Our heartfelt condolences to the Callan family. I don't think you could have been blessed with a sweeter mom, and likewise, I don't think she could have had a more caring family. Our prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Michael, Maureen and the entire Callan Family please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. Agnes was a beautiful person and I remember her going back as far as the Blessed Virgin Sodality at St. Michael's Church and Veronica's Veil. Her family meant the world to her. I know she is in a better place now but it doesn't make your loss less important. Your mother will be remembered in my prayers daily.
