To Mr. Stanford and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I remember fondly the times you and Agnes welcomed me into your home when I was in Ottawa visiting my sister. You always made me feel welcome.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of great sadness. May your many wonderful memories of Agnes bring you comfort. She will be greatly missed. Agnes was a beautiful, loving and compassionate woman. She touched the lives of so many who had the privilege of knowing her. Agnes was such a comfort to my Mom Paula when she was ill.

To the family of Mrs. Stanford. My condolences to the family at this most difficult time in your lives. Words can't express the sadness that such loss can bring. May our heavenly Father give you peace and comfort. Very encouraging are the words found at Psalm 147:3.- He is healing the broken hearted one's.

Dear Joe, Karen, Mike and Kevin,
Agnes has been a role model for me for many years. Mum, Richard Maureen and I were the recipients of her love and hospitality. She was an expert at giving comfort. I'll never forget coming home from the hospital late in the evening and being welcomed with bear hugs from her and you Joe, and a huge plate of cheese and strawberries. Your home has been a haven and resting place for so many.
I know your hearts are heavy with sadness but also filled with love and gratitude for the times you have spent together. Please know that John and I have you close in thought and prayer. God bless you all. Love, Barbara

Dear Joe, words cannot express how badly I feel about Agnes' death. She was a very gracious and classy lady. To know her was to love her and I did love her. I have wonderful memories of visits and meals with both of you - no one made creme caramel quite like Agnes - it was the best! You all will be in my thoughts and prayers, My deepest sympathies Joe, to you and the family, particularly Sandy, Kevin and their children. With fondest love and hugs, Hedy
