Dear Agnes, you were my mother-in-law. You were a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and wife. I loved how you could take a few things out of the fridge and make a meal out of it! I loved the way you made cinnamon buns to perfection and homemade bread. I loved the way you grew beautiful flowers and vegetables in your garden. I loved the way you would help those who needed your help especially my sewing skills, you always said yes to grandchildren when they wanted their jeans hemmed! I mostly love that you gave me your son and I had beautiful children and a family. I just want to say as mothers-in-law, go you were a kind-hearted woman who loved their family. The thing is you did everything so well I could not keep up with you but that is truly happy I learned lots of things from you. We love you so much and miss you so much. Love Ken, Susan, Scott, Shane, and Daniel. Take care in heaven. Your daughter-in-law, Susan. It has been 10 years since we last saw you and you are so missed! - Posted by: Susan Barchuk (Daughter-in-law) on: Jul 15, 2019

We miss you so very much and we cannot believe it has been 5 years this July 15, 2014 that you have left us! We cherish the memories of everything you did for your family! We loved your fried chicken and meatloaf, I just cannot make it the way you did or even try to live up to your cooking! One does not know how much you miss a person in your family until they're gone, so please let your family know how much you love them each and every day, give them a hug, a smile! Hopefully we will all unite in heaven Agnes and have a family reunion one day! - Posted by: Kenneth and Susan Barchuk , Scott,Shane,& Daniel (Daughter- in- law ,Son, grandchildren ) on: Jul 09, 2014
