They say that time heals all wounds, but some injuries will always leave a scar. Aggie you came into our lives a shooting star fast and bright leaving us in awe. You collided with everyone you came in contact with changing their orbit and their hearts. You left scars my friend, big ones. Thank you for them, I love you.

Words can't even begin to express the deep sorrow I am feeling by your passing. We became more than just friends the moment we met. You would tell everyone this is my cousin, you will never know how much that meant to me. You were a kind, caring & generous person who was always smiling & laughing no matter what you were going through. I miss our daily calls/texts especially my morning text just saying "Morning Boo" May you rest in peace and watch over all of us. Until we meet again.

Theres only a few people that you meet who can change the way you look at the world. Agnes did, she made you see light in the dark, laughter in tears, and joy in pain. I know that God only let us borrow you, and I miss you terribly, but I know youre home. EE cummings said, "the world laughs in flowers." Agnes was my flower. Rest in peace my friend I love you
