Agnes I loved your spirit from the day we met each other in Health Care South  Ctr.  We both shared the agony of watching our beloved husbands suffer. We shared many unhappy trials together but helped each other in many ways.  I am sorry I only heard of your passing.  I will remember you in my prayers            Dee Egan

I miss my Aunt Agnes.  But I see her in each of her children and the grandchildren -- that spark for life, that desire to succeed, and see others reach their goals.  Aunt Agnes had a generosity that encompassed both family & friends and reached out to strangers.  Always with a sense of humor, she had the ability to look beneath the surface and help someone find their feet or place in this world.  How blessed are we all to have been loved and encouraged by her.  I want to thank my cousins for the wonderful photo montage that you included on the site.  I had never seen those ‘oldie but goodies' pictures of her in her youth….you know, she was timeless and will remain that way in my memories forever.
With much love, 
Mary Margaret

As a woman, wife, mother, friend, teacher . . . Agnes was a wonderful role model. I am grateful she was a part of my life.

I have fond memories at Christmas when she invited me into her home and treated me like family.  Truly an amazing woman, one that will be missed

My Aunt Agnes believed that "life is a banquet" and she certainly wrung every juicy morsel from her own.  She lived her life with class, prayer and a whole lot of Irish spunk.  No one could ever be sad around her.  I loved her and always will.

Bill and family -- I am so sorry for your loss.  Please remember your mother is always with you in your heart.  I hear my mother all the time.  Now even some of her words come out of my mouth.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Claire Larsen Whaley

I met Agnes just this year and what an impression she made on me. We shared a lot during our brief friendship including both being born on June 11th. She was full of life and laughter and wisdom. Agnes reminded me much of my own mother and we would joke about it and she gave me a spiritual book signed momma Agnes. How blessed her boys are to have had this wonderful woman as her mother.  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire family and all her friends whose lives she has touched as she has mine. As Kathleen mentioned in the guest book she never met a stranger. 
Sincerely,
Roberta Lamb

Bill,
There is nothing that I can say that I think can lessen your pain.Please accept my deepest condolences.  I am praying for strength and comfort for you and your family at this time.

My Aunt Agnes never met a stranger.  She worked hard, loved well and lived a fabulously full life.  She was proud of her family, her Irish roots and left the rest to God. I loved her, admired her greatly and wish I could be there in person with all of you to honor her memory.  Cousin Kathleen

My prayers are with Agnes:matchmaker, beautiful sister-in-law and beloved friend. Agnes was a blessing and I am so grateful to have known her.

Agnes was a force of nature.  She had a quick wit, a 'gift of the gag', built on a strong foundation of faith and family.  Those who knew her were blessed by her presence and are richer for it.  Sending thoughts of comfort and love to all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jack and your family.  I remember how much your mother used to love to visit NYC.  She was a lovely person and we will remember her with great fondness.
The Jonassen Family.

Our prayers go out to her entire family, God Bless You All!   Mrs. Riordan taught my disabled son in handicapped preschool (Lloyd Rd.) She had a way of making him smile, stop crying and start learning. After having her for only a few hrs. he loved going to school. She was truely a beautiful wonderful person and a terrific teacher and friend. My son and our family will forever remember her fondly.   Jeremy Wuelfing & Family

Agnes was truly a beautiful person, I was priveleged to organize rides by the Knights of Columbus Council #4969 up to the VA Home for  Agnes to visit her beloved husband George.   Agnes and I had many wonderful conversations in which she would tell me about George and his dedicated service to his country.  I will forever have wonderful memories of both Agnes and George.  
God Bless Agnes and her entire family
Glenn Frantz Deputy Grand Knight Council #4969

Dear Aunt Agnes has been in my thoughts and prayers all week.  A friend sent me the poem "To Be Of Use" by Marge Piercy which reminded me of your mother.  She truly was one of the people I loved best!  She lived and loved with a passion-jumping into work head first, doing the work of the world and doing it well. 
Love to all,
Noreen

I worked with Agnes during my first years at Lloyd Road School. She was a wonderful, giving, and delightful person to work with. I have many fond memories of our year together. More than anything, she loved her family.
Raellen Mandelbaum

We traveled many roads together, this dear friend of my heart. With her wonderful family and many friends, I share the loss   She lived a full life and we will all miss her every day.  Eileen Rowett-Brons
