Agnes was such a sweet and kind person. When my husband and I got married 26 years ago, she did the flowers for our wedding and they were so beautiful. You will missed greatly.

I known Agnes since I was little. She was/is the sweetest person I known. She lived right across the street from me. When I was 3 yrs old I got bit by a stray dog. Agnes along with Archie I believe drove me & my mom to ER in Columbus in the brown station wagon. She was always laughing and having a big smile on her face drinking a cup of coffee. Will miss you Agnes.

Would like to express my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother, grandmother, cousin, aunt or friend. Unfortunately, I have not known her for very long but she seemed like a very sweet person. I am sure she will be deeply missed by all.
