I am saddened by the news of Agnes’s passing. She was fun to be around and I loved her “telling it like it is” attitude. She was a good person and a great bus driver. I am sure the are many who have stories to tell about their trips. She is pain free and I am sure much more at peace. Sympathy and prayers to her family.

I am sadden by the death of Agnes, I have know her since we went to school at the ‘Old Coffeen’ across from the Rock Trim Motel. She and family lived down the creek from us. The Ice Skating, swimming in the creek and just running around the Park St. area. She will be missed by many, she was straight forward and you knew where you stood. She did have a great sense of humor and enjoyed Nile. RIP, my prayers are with you and family. Dave Stevenson
