I lost another one of my golden girls and she is no longer here with us in body but will always be missed by everyone she touched along her path.
Mrs. Agnes Taylor Richardson was a very special friend to me, besides being one of my “Younger Big Cousin”.
Cousin Agnes was a classy, she was a Diva in her way. Her clothing was top of the line. She was a Beautiful Woman and I am glad that she was. a Friend of mine and to The Atkinson Connection.
We offer our Deepest Sympathy to each and everyone on Your Loss.
I am dedicating this poem the Author is Unknown:
The Chain Will Link Again
Little did we know that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still out guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The Chain Will Link Again.
I am sending Sympathy, Prayers, Much Love To You and Yours,
Ms. Cheryl M. Atkinson
Joyce, Donald, Joseph and Family did an excellent job taking care of Cousin Agnes. You Will Be Blessed.
