Agnes was such a joy in my ceramic class. She did beautiful work and each piece was filled with the love she had for her family. I will always remember when Fred would come into our ceramic room and tell Agnes how much he loved lemon pie, she would roll her eyes and shake her head. She will be sadly missed.
Sincerely:
