    1996. As first time homeowners, we could not have asked for a better neighbor! My memories are that Agnes was always so kind and caring, with sparkly eyes and a great sense of humor. Sending love your way!

    Nana would always call & let me know she was praying for me when we would talk. Now the phone won’t be in the way! I want everyone to know that I should call & txt more but as we visit, I will remember to hug & squeeze a little bit longer & tighter! ❤️ 2 ALL , MeCheal &Sydney

    I know that each and everyone of you listed in this beautiful tribute have been blessed immeasurably by your mom/nana’s love, laughter and kindness. Multiply that by thousands like the Hagner’s who were equally blessed to know her for a portion of her great life! Love and hugs from Julie, Chuck, James and Ann Hagner.

    Dear Sanfelippo Family,
    I met your sweet Mom 61 years ago, when I was blessed to be her “God Daughter”, and it is amazing how long we stayed in touch! All of us Griffey’s have such fond memories sharing time with you in that big beautiful house on Bartlett Street. What joy it brought us when we could spend an entire Sunday at your house. That was called “Company time”. Agnes always made her famous spaghetti. Not only for the 9 people in your family, but she made enough for the 10 of us too! If we were lucky, some of us could spend the night, and that was a spontaneous decision! I was always allowed to stay! And even though I didn’t pack pj’s or a swimsuit, there was always enough to share, since the 4 Sanfelippo girls were so generous! Swimming at Cesar’s Pool was the best! I When I learned how to drive, I would come over to your house and spend alot of time with your family. Agnes and Denise stayed at the hospital when I had a serious surgery,. I remember waking up and seeing their faces, and I was very happy and relieved! Agnes was such a strong and supportive woman! She was always there when there was joy and sorrow. Agnes shared in many of my special days,! My Wedding, births of my 2 girls, baptisms, graduations too! Mary and I had many opportunities to visit Agnes the last few years while she was living at East Castle. We would ask questions about the past, Agnes would tell us stories, we would laugh and hug and just enjoy the time with your sweet sweet mom! She always had hugs and countless “I love You’s”. We still miss our Mom so much, but going to see Agnes helped to fill that void! Mary and I would leave and say how great we felt just because we were able to spend time with her! Dear Sanfelippo Family, thankyou for sharing your Dear, Sweet Mommy with us! We look forward to celebrating her life with you on August 27! Much Love and Hugs!
