  23. So sad to lose such a wonderful person. I loved calling for a cuppa and chat and Agnes was always warm and welcoming. She was so humble, friendly and with a wonderful nature, definitely one of a kind. I’m sure she has touched many hearts in Camperdown and I am proud and humbly to say I am one of them. RIP

  26. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the Madden and Thornton families on the passing of Agnes. We first met in the late 1970’s when I moved to Victoria to marry and our wedding reception was held at the Commercial Hotel. Our paths crossed over the years, mainly through Hilary, the loving sister-in-law we shared. Agnes was always welcoming and friendly, a lovely lady. Rest in peace.
