Read MoreI was a caregiver for Agnes and her husband Doug a few years ago. Agnes was a lovely woman. Very sweet and kind. I will mostly remember her for her love and devotion to her husband Doug. A true Love story. Now they are together again. My sympathy to all the family.

I worked with Agnes many, many (MANY!) years ago at D&L when I was attending Connecticut College. She often talked about her wonderful family and I was so moved by her devotion to her husband, Doug. She was just a lovely woman, and I'm sure she'll be deeply missed
