I am so sorry to have missed the services for Mrs Chesko. I first met her when I was a student at Conestoga Sr. High School. She taught Home EC.She also taught the boys. It was a wonderful idea so far a head of time. Mrs Chesko was always ahead of her time especially with educating her sin who had social needs. I was attending the Red Mass several years ago and there was Mrs Chesko. We had such a wonderful catch up. She will always be treasured in my heart. Hope your kitchen is in order God!. Having ls my recently my deepest sympathies to her entire family.

Bill, Diane and Family,
Our deepest condolences on the passing of an amazing person. People would be impressed by her contributions to only one of the organizations she served but the scope of her caring, giving and dedication to whatever she set her mind to is amazing.

You must be as proud of her as we're certain she was proud of you.

Never met a more dedicated individual than Agnes. I always enjoyed working with her back in the day. A woman with a huge heart who showed everyone how to live a good life.

It was a great honor to have met and gotten to know Agnes- albeit it briefly and not in the best of circumstances. You hear some speak of their lives will not being the same after meeting someone of unmatched determination, but after holding her strong hand and being in her presence, I know it is true. She was my hero. God bless her and her wonderful, loving family. Thank you for sharing her with me.

My thoughts and prayers to the Chesko family and the entire chester county community. Ms. Chesko was one of my favorite people to see when I worked with her son Bob. She was an inspiration to many and her smile and laughter could fill a room. I enjoyed talking to her and I remember when she started to take piano lessons at 92 I thought it was fantastic! She was a true pioneer to the Arc. May she RIP.

Agnes is one of the most remarkable woman we have ever met. Her strength , determination, kindness , generosity & wisdom were unmatched. She could endure the toughest challenges that life threw at her because the essence of her character was LOVE. She embraced everyone.
Her life was one of commitment & sacrifice . She gave more than just a helping hand , she gave the entirety of her self to the causes that were dear to her heart...and there were many.
She will be missed immensely . God is rejoicing to have her next to Him.

It was a pleasure knowing this amazing woman! Even in the shortest of conversations, she touched lives & made you feel important. And during these past difficult years, she remained so upbeat. Always positive Agnes. That's how I will remember her. Thoughts & prayers to her family.
