Please accept or deepest sympathies. We knew Agnes through Girl Scouts and she brought many smiles to those from the old Humboldt/38 unit of Leaders. Although We haven't seen her in many years she will be missed by all who knew her. She was a wonderful leader and we always had the best times at meetings. I remember many of her lessons and her help with service unit wide events. She will always be with us in our memories her wisdom and smile will never be forgotten.
