Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
I am echoing David's comments. We all liked "Aggie
very much when we knew her as kids. I always thought of her as a very hard worker. One Halloween night in the 50's, two tall mute lumberjacks came to our house for trick or treat. We had NO idea who these guys were. It turned out that it was Aggie and Mrs. Wood!!! That remains a very funny memory of mine!!

Our deep sympathy to Martha and her family as they process a painful, final good-bye. Aggie was a sweet and kind-spirited neighbor who was kind with children when I (Dave) and my two sisters, Sally and Kathy, grew up on Southworth Street in Williamstown, MA in the 1950s.
