Our sympathy to the family of Mrs. Agnes. Paul and I loved her. I even got to go speeding on her golf cart a couple of times. My mother is Elma Bourque and she will certainly miss her dear friend Agnes. What a grand lady she was.

Ms Agnes was such an inspiration to everyone. She made me see that no matter how old you get you can always have a sense of humor which makes people want to be around you. I enjoyed her on our Ladies Altar Society trips especially when she came to the back of the bus and said "I've got a joke for y'all!". She will be sadly missed. Lena Babin
