Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we have come together today to celebrate the life of our beloved Agnes - a dear childhood friend, a loving sister, and an inspirational individual to many. I first met Agnes in 1966 when I arrived in St. Helens, and it did not take long for us to forge a bond that would withstand all the tests of time.
As children, Agnes and I were inseparable. We shared an unwavering sense of adventure and a love for life. Today, I would like to share with you a memory that encapsulates the spirit, fearlessness and passion for mischief that Agnes embodied.
One day, Agnes and I had the brilliant idea of sneaking around to the back of Howard's shop and stealing empty pop bottles. After collecting as many as we could carry, we proudly brought our loot to the front of the shop, exchanged the empty bottles for sweet refunds, and reveled in our wily accomplishment. Oh, how Agnes's eyes lit up with excitement when she received her share of sweet rewards.

However, my excitement got the better of me, and I couldn't help but munch away both our shares of victory treats. Not one to be trifled with, Agnes was furious! We may have been young, and she may have been small in stature, but Agnes possessed a fierce determination and spirit that could not be ignored. She challenged me to a fight, and to this day, I still recall the sheer power packed into her tiny fists.
We eventually ended up in Anne Pigott’s shed, Agnes doing her best to nurse my now-bruised eye with a piece of meat. Afraid of being discovered, we came up with a wild story of being attacked for our chips. Looking back, it's hard not to smile at the memory.
This story is but a glimpse of the many adventures Agnes and I shared, and a testament to her unforgettable impact on all our lives. Agnes's fearless nature and boundless energy was contagious, and her loyalty unwavering. She was the kind of friend who would do anything for you when you needed her, shouldering life's burdens with you while also making sure you enjoyed every moment.
Agnes, though you may have left us physically, your presence is still felt in our hearts, and your light shines on through the memories we cherish. As we gather to commemorate your life, let us remember the happiness you brought to each of us, and the spirited, bright-eyed, unforgettable girl who was, and will always be, our dear friend.
Rest in peace, Agnes. Your mischief, laughter, and love will live on forever in our hearts.
Fond memories, love Mary xx.
