"Deepest sympathy to Aggie family. She was such a kind sweet lady who loved receiving communion! My visits with her were very heartwarming ???Joanne "
"We send our deepest sympathies to your family on Aggie's passing. She was such a dear lady and wonderful person. We truly treasured the moments we spent with her, as few times we got together. She always spoke so highly of her family and loved every moment she could be with any of you. Bob and Aggie were proxy godparents to our daughter, Nancy, for which we were so grateful. Her warm smile and kind words will always be our memories....rest in peace, Aggie."
"Aggie and Bob were the first people we met when we moved to Antigo over 40 years ago. Jeff was beginning his dental practice and we moved to a flat on Watson Street and they lived upstairs while they were building a new house. We became the best of friends over the past 40 plus years. We will miss her, but we know she is now with her husband Bob."
