I met Agatha after her Husband died and I was amazed at her strength and love of God. She taught me thru the Sharing Group how to be the woman I am today. She was like a sister to me. I know she is with God and would love to hear her conversations with him. She talked to him every day and some times yelled at him when she was not happy with some of his decisions. The world is a better place with her living in it and we will remember her always with love.

Agatha Pals always accepted and believed in me whether I deserved it or not. I viewed Mrs. Pals as a diminutive, exotic flower that could never be crushed ... and should NEVER be crossed! Her passing is an immense loss for her family, and for the planet. Everyone in her presence was made to feel they were loved. I truly loved her back with all my heart.
