My thoughts and prayers are with you all - Vernon, Mike, Nancy, Sue, Jackie and Steven. I feel quite fortunate to have known Aggie and shared in many laughs and adventures with her. She was a remarkably resilient and determined lady, who created a lot of joy and hope in people’s lives. Your Mom and her ability to dream new dreams continues to live in you all. There with you in spirit, all my love, Kathleen

We have been friends for years.We have played a lot of cards together. Elroy and Aggie came to Casa Del Sol the same year as we did in 1987. We were at Vernon's and Aggies wedding in St. Anna. WE hope to see Vernon every once in awhile,he is a great guy. God bless all of Aggies and Vernon,s children.
