AGNES. YOU AND I COMPOSED THE FIRST CLASS OF LAW STUDENTS AT GEORGETOWN. WE WERE DIVIDED IN SEPARATE CLASSES BY THE INITIAL OF OUR LAST NAME. YOU "O" AND I "B" YOUR LIFE WAS LONG AND HISTORIC, LOVING AND GIVING. TODAY I LEARNED OF YOUR DEATH ON 3/4/20 AND I WILL PRAY TO GOD TO CONTINUE TO PROTECT YOU. I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF AGNES AND PROFESSOR E B WILLIAMS, AND HIS OUTSTANDING CRIMINAL LAW CLASSES I HAVE SHARED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I HOPE YOUR...

To Kim, Wyatt, Bennett, and Terrell -- I never had the pleasure of meeting your beloved Mother/ Grandmother, though I always enjoyed hearing your tales of your times together at the Vineyard and seeing the family photos at your homes in Macon and ATL, but I'm grateful now to know more about the legacy from which you hail and which you honor in the way you live your lives. Here's to Agnes, who made a difference in the world with her own exemplary life and through the generations who follow....

Who doesn’t love Agnes? she was a light so many enjoyed. What a legacy.... that’s what we live for isn’t it? Agnes gave so much to so many... mostly to her family, and what a family she built. Here’s to Agnes what a life.

I remember when I turned 65 nearly 6 years ago ,Agnes said that upon reaching a now certain age that I could call her Agnes , instead of Mrs. Williams !!! What a wonderful Lady with such style and Grace . I continue to miss her presence across the way in Edgartown each Summer Patrick Ahearn

I'm very sorry to hear of this. She was an inspirational and fascinating person. May she rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Agnes Williams. May you be comforted in knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you. He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief.
Psalm 94:17-19

Agnes... what an intellectual light. The definition of the family matriarch. She carried her husband's legacy & dignity along side her own. A family any& all would be proud. Agnes was an ageless jewel. Adored Agnes... but who didn't? Love to all who were blessed to call her family. Feel blessed to call her a friend. Will miss her so... ❤

We are so saddened to learn of Angus's passing .She was a beautiful woman of style and grace. We will miss her friendship and neighborliness on the Vineyard and at Chappy Beach club
