Agnes was just always there. In the union meetings, on the picket line, on the marches. She was a character of the most colourful kind that stood out, that you knew would be there and made it welcoming. She added fun, occasion and meaning.  I've still not got my head around that this won't be the case any more. It's a real loss to the world to not have her on board for the future. She was one of those who made a difference.
