I think of Aggie quite often. She was such a strong
believer in the Ross Park Zoo and dedicated so much time and energy helping to make it great. That's where I met her and enjoyed working with her in all the gardens she helped create. A truly wonderful person.

I volunteered at the zoo for a number of years, nobody was a more passionate advocate for the zoo than Aggie. Her dedication to and passion for the zoo was unmatched. A lovely woman and a huge loss.

Meg,
I am so sorry to read of your Mom´s passing. She was a wonderful person and one of my favorite adults while growing up. I think of her anytime I am around water, since she taught me to swim. She really was the best!
