So sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet mother. She was always so kind and thoughtful and I always felt welcome in your parents' home. Thank you for sharing that with me during some really rough times. I will remember both of your parents with fond memories... Brenda and John, you are both in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and comfort now and in the days to come.

My Aunt Nell was the sweetest Christian. I will always remember her kindness to me as a very sick child living with Ma Agnew. She was so loving and had this huge smile! Will miss her. Love to my amazing cousins, John and Brenda Agnew.

There is a prepared place for a prepared woman of faith. She lived an exemplary life of loyalty to her family, church, and God. We of Bethel Tabernacle will miss her. May God comfort the family.

What a sweet Godly lady! I will never forget her beautiful spirit, her continual smile, and her tenacity (in spite of her poor eyesight) to find her way across the auditorium after every service at Bethel to give me, Matt and Emily a warm hug. We love you Sis. Agnew, and will be praying for you John and Brenda.
