Agnes was a person who stood by her beliefs. She was a wonderful person. I missed her when she left the county, and I will continue to miss her. May the wonderful memories of her give you joy.

I loved Agnes. It was always a pleasure to reminisce with her when I came home for visits. I can imagine that now there has been a joyful reunion with her family who have gone on before her, and as a result, that paradise where they have waited is a noisier place.
