Such a sweet lady! Always looked forward to our visits.
Aunt Aggie was my 2nd mom. Because I was named After her..my father’s suggestion…i always felt very close to her. She was exceptionally intelligent; with beautiful auburn hair and a flawless complexion. She and Uncle Bud were just perfect together. After his premature death Aggie went forward with her life and in her attitude. She was a wonderful role model. She will never be forgotten.
Aunt Aggie always had time to talk to you. She gave me her nut roll recipe many years ago. When she was about 90 she told me in her Christmas card that she had made 10 rolls that year! She baked circles around me! She was a very special lady and will be missed!
Aggie was a delightful lady who was loved by many. Her memory will be treasured by her family and friends.
Aggie was my neighbor as I grew up in Shadyside. She was a kind and generous lady and she will be greatly missed.
To my Aunt and Godmother: May you rest in peace. You lived a long and fulfilling life. Best of all, you lived it YOUR WAY! You were a pretty good example of overcoming life’s hardships–from “The Great Depression” through the sudden loss of Uncle Bud many years ago. You will be reunited with Uncle Bud and your parents, brothers and sisters! You were loved and admired by all who knew you–friends and family alike–and you will be missed!
