I was so sorry to read yesterday, Ron, that your Mom has died. I lived in Saskatoon only for a few years in the 1970's but, on my first visit to Nutana Park Mennonite Church, I got to know Agnes. I had just returned from a year in Germany, and she immediately asked me if I wanted to teach German School Saturday mornings. So I became her assistant. My favourite memories revolve around Christmas time, making the Zuckerhaus at her home and helping with the children's Christmas program.
Agnes also supported me when we had issues with church membership.
I always looked forward to her Christmas cards filled with news about her family and all her activities. She was always so positive in spite of sorrow and so obviously loved her family.
I will miss hearing from her, and extend my sympathy to you and all the family.
