To the Family of Agnes,
We are sorry for your loss, especially for Stevie. Agnes' brother, John Gunther loved his sister dearly and would send her chocolate in the mail (her favorite sweet) or sometimes I would deliver them. He once gave me $50 to purchase chocolates at the Craverie in Kohler. I felt so bad, it was a box the size of a box of checks. But John knew they were expensive and were the very best chocolates around. Anything for his beloved sister. She smiled and tears filled her eyes when I told her they were from her Johnny.
We just found out today that Agnes passed away and would have attended her funeral service yesterday. God's peace to all her family and friends.

She loved her son Steven so much and lit up when ever I took him to visit her. She was always so sweet to me also. We both will miss her dearly.

I will never forget Agnes - at a 100 years old and enjoying her Ipod. She was one of the sweetest and kindest persons I have come to know. She will be missed but just knowing there is another angel in heaven watching over us.

I grew up three doors away from Gunthers. I remember Agnes as a very pretty person with a lot of energy. Agnes and her family would come to visit her folks and sit out on their front porch. Burt would take a glass gallon jug to the corner bar to be filled with beer and walk back to the porch. I always felt welcome to join in the conversation.

Greatest Grandmother ever. Nothing but love and the desire to expose her grandchildren to new things.
