Now 15 years years later you are still missed by all of your “Nasties””. Miss your phone calls, quick visits to Texas, family reunions, and most of all our fun conversations. Am so thankful for the years you were my big sister. You are still very much a part of our lives.

First of all, I would like to say " Thank You", to the many friends and family that sent their prayers and memories and signed this guest book. It has truly helped me to read your comments. Losing " our Aggie", has been a big shock to the whole family. I gather my strength from her and our lord. I can just hear her now telling me to quit being a "cry baby". I will miss her the rest of my life, but i will take it "One day at a time". I have so many, many good memories of my 58 years that she shared with me. She would want us to smile and be happy for her. Aggie , I will always love and miss you.
Lovingly,
Your " baby sister",
Martha

Agnes was a wonderful lady and had such a zest for living life to the fullest one day at a time. She left an awesome legacy of hope and joy . I have wonderful memories of road trips together when in Arkansas where we traded between driver and shotgun. I always looked forward to the yearly opportunities to touch base again after I moved. Her friendship has been such a treasure. God gives us memories so that we might have roses in December. Agnes, thank you for the roses.

Agnes, wow, not someone you can sum up in just a word or two. She is an angel, an angel of hope, faith, love and serenity. She has helped so many people in her life. I know she has helped me in so many ways I can't count how many. She has let me make mistakes and then she would be the first to say," I told you so, now you gonna listen to me next time". I have known her for years at least 30 yrs or better. I am going to miss her so much. I know she is in a better place, watching over us every day. I just wish I could have seen her one more time. I love you and miss you.
