In Remembrance of Agnes McCoyEven before I knew Agnes personally I always thought she seemed like a special spit fire character! I could see that Agnes meant what she said and said what she meant and that immediately attracted me to her. I wanted to get to know her. She always had that BEAUTIFUL flowing lion's mane hair, (I even told her that and that I was envious), smiles, sense of humor and a special twinkle in her eye that made me wonder, what is she going to do now???? Wish I could go with her! I eventually got to know Agnes just from dealing with her at the KNC and doing her hair and found out personally just what a; smiling, joking, smart, wise, sensitive, gracious, caring, strong, intuitive, respectful, confidant, never malicious and gentle soul she was. I never felt that I had to use a lot of words to communicate with Agnes either. She just simply seemed to always understand everything completely. She was a cherished treasure of a friend. I am proud to have known her the little bit that I did. She always made me feel special too. She was always in tune with what was going on and understood what I was talking about. She always had something poignant to offer in way of a solution or dealing with an issue or just to confirm she fully comprehended the situation. She was also pretty gentle when she was being straight with you and I appreciated that grace and imagine that was a great skill to have in her work or dealings. I wasn't close to the work she did but I think it was a perfect fit for her and I know it was close to her heart simply by the passionate way she talked about it and that she believed it was important work for everyone. I wish I could have seen her in action as I think she would have been a force to contend with. I know I am only touching the tip of the iceberg concerning Agnes as I know she also had great depth but she was very special to me in the short time I knew her and I am thankful for that. Our loss is certainly heavens gain. My heart, prayers and respect go to her family at this time of loss, sharing and caring, xo. I certainly wish I could have been to the service. Special thanks and appreciation to Audrey Francis who shared the on going details shortly before Agnes passed away. I am thankful I was included. Thank you Audrey! XOXOKathy Horvath
