"My sincere condolences to the family of Agnes and may she rest in peace?I knew Agnes(Scottie as we called her at Runsen House) from when I lived there and we became friends and she loved my dog Max. I stopped up to her apartment quite a few times since I moved and brought Max to see her. I will miss her so much because she was a funny, wonderful lady. God Bless your soul Scottie???????"
