Dear David, Allen, and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. We have many memories of her and your family from when my Dad, John Elliott, was pastor of her church. Lorraine Cornell Brownell let me know of Agnes' illness and death. Having lost both my mother (Clara) and father (Jack) in 2005, I know the sorrow that you all must be feeling.
I will always remember Agnes' smile and good humor.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To Agnes' family,
I so enjoyed getting to know Agnes when I was interim pastor in the summer of 1999. She was always so interested in learning new things and willing to share her great wisdom.
What a gift of dignity you all gave her in so many ways...being able to die at home and loving her into heaven.
Peace and prayers as you grieve and celebrate this wonderful woman, your loved one..Agnes Cornell...

Our deepest sympathy on Agnes' death. She was a wonderful lady who had a quick whit ~ she was a straight shooter and you knew where she stood. It has been our pleasure to have known her for so many years and we always enjoyed visiting with her. May God give you peace and strength as you say goodbye.
