Our families were next door neighbors when I was a little girl. We lived on Mockingbird. and my parents were Dr. Bill and Elaine Byrd.

Your mother was such a wonderful sweet lady. Even though I was small, I knew she was special; my mother thought the world of her. I remember the day your mother got the news about Jackie...and I remember Jackie so well from a little girl's point of view. Even though, again I was small, it left an impression on me because of the pride and the grace your mother received and dealt with the news. My mother was moved by that grace. I know that, when my parents were alive, they held your mother in high esteem.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful lady and I hope you find peace at this difficult time.

Willy and Terri, I am so very sorry to hear of Mom's passing. My heart goes out to you two. I am so blessed as I still have my two shirts that she made me. A memory of her and her beautiful personality and smile. Praying for Willy and you and sending my LOVE, Peggy

Dear MS Danz,
So sorry to learn of Agnes' death. Lorna Auld called to let me know as did Norma Sanchez. (I live just up the street.) I had tried to call & visit Agnes recently but was never able to connect. She was a lovely lady. I regret not knowing her better.
Fondly Clarice Amann
