January 21, 2021
I am Agatha's first cousin Steven Schaeber formerly of Lyndhurst NJ, now in Newtown PA. Around 1964, I remember meeting Agatha and her husband Walter with my parents Anthony (Tony) & Genevieve Schaeber when you lived in, I believe, North Haven CT. Cousin Walter was a CT State Trooper as I recall. We were traveling back home to NJ after visiting with my mom’s brother Bruno & Albina Fisher in Salem CT. I would have been 16 then and that was the last time we would meet. I do not know if you and mom kept in touch thereafter though I know she liked Agatha very much.
While family’s, cousins drift apart for reasons unbeknownst to me, I want to extend my familial condolences to her family: "Vichnaya Pamyat" [Eternal Memory] cousin Agatha Fisher Cummings, may your soul rest in peace for you were in Gods mind before he knit you in your mothers womb.
It was through a message from Agatha's sister-in-law Karen that I have learned of her passing. I have been constructing a family tree and am hoping some of my cousin descendants might share some family history, old photos, stories, etc. and can be reached at email [email protected]
