Who is Agatha?

I decided that when parents consider leaving heirlooms and items of significance to their children, I might leave my daughters’ memories of their childhoods. Agatha was a true visitor to our home and has always been a happy memory. I felt it was perfect to immortalize her. She is quite precious. It is my hope that you will love Agatha as much as we do.
