Aggie, as she liked to be called, had a heart as big as Texas. Her love of people and entertaining brought her and others much joy. She was always the first to roll up her sleeves taking charge in times of need. She was the mother everyone wanted and was fiercely loyal and dedicated to the love of her life, Rene. She was greatly loved and capable of great great loving.
