Aunt Aggie shared many Sunday dinners with us at our farm in Abrams and was always invited for special occasions in our family, birthdays, First Communions, etc. One of my memories is that as we girls cleared the dinner plates, Aunt Ag would ask me, "Shall I keep my fork?", meaning will there be dessert? I once asked her why she asked that, and she said it meant that the best was yet to come...Well keep your fork, my dear Godmother, you have served well, and THE BEST IF YET TO COME!!

Aunt Aggie as a young girl

Love this photograph of her as a young girl. Our dad, Vennie, as he was called looked up to Aunt Aggie and loved her very much. They must have spent a lot of time together because they were only 2 years apart.
As a young girl growing up on the farm, I was lucky to see her often as she lived with Grandma Margaret for so many years and our farm was so close. When Grandma was older and couldn't get to church on Sunday, we would bring Communion to Grandma and there was always lots of visiting and conversation with Aunt Aggie!
Bless her soul!
