    I am so sorry to learn of Aggie's passing. She passed on the same day as my dear wife. I had the great privilege to travel with Irwin and Aggie to visit an orphanage in Mexico, Casa Hogar Alegre, several years ago and witness their great love for the children. I always loved hearing of their selfless commitment to minister to the seniors in the church community in Grande Prairie. She truly had a heart of gold and was a wonderful generous servant of the Lord. She will be missed. 'Well done good and faithful servant' Kevin Stagg, Samaritan's Purse Canada

    We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Uncle Irwin and family in the passing of Aunt Aggie. We remember her stories of how she met uncle Irwin, her face would light up and blush. They were a great model couple and truly loved God. We really appreciated the life she gave to uncle Irwin after the passing of his first wife Amanda Blessings. John and Anna Koop
