Special thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this time of grief and sorrow. Agnes or "Babe" touched our lives with her kindness, generosity and love. We have many fond memories of visits with "Babe" . Such a beautiful angel on earth. She truly blessed our family with her daughter Suzi and her family. As our hearts are heavy for your loss. I once read this and I believe it fits Agnes family so well. "Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear." Author unknown. May the loving memories of life with Agnes remain in your hearts forever. Love, Ken and Linda
