I am so sorry to learn of Aunt Ag's passing. I have so many memories of her. The block she lived on encompassed a neighborhood of families that interacted on a daily basis. Seeing her and Ad sitting on the porch and waving as we rode our bikes by, is just a small memory. Betty, please accept my condolences.

Agnes was a wonderful neighbor and friend of our family for many years. We attended the same church and had many long conversations about how good God has been to her and her family. She will be missed by many, I am so sad that I haven't seen her much since I moved to Lafayette. I loved her and I know I will see her some day in Glory.
