    I first met Aggie when I purchased my cabin 20 years ago. Dropped over to introduce myself and was made to feel so welcome I kept going back. She"d put on the kettle and we would head out to the deck with a cup a tea and a smoke. Was amazed watching her talk to the birds, calling them over to get the treats she had in her hand. It seemed there was an actual conversation going on. Aggie was and still is one in a million, and it was a great privilege to have known her. For such a tiny woman, she had a very big heart. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Sincere condolences to her husband Cecil, her children Sherry, Wanda, Ella and Cec. and all the extended famiies. Rest in peace my friend.

    Aggie, known as Charlie (her stage name), provided all the community with laughter and friendship, and you and Cec were always our very dear friends over many years. We loved you and family, and had many great laughs together. Our trip and stay in Gander many moons ago were the highlights, also dart parties in our home - what fun and laughter together - sure was the most memorable! I know Ed will be delighted to have you with him in Eternal Life, and I feel you will have a great laugh together. To all Aggie’s family and friends, be assured you are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time - may God bestow courage and strength to everyone. I am unable to pay my personal respects but will be with you all the way. God Bless! Love: Carmelita, Jacinta, Clint and families
