    The comment was made that she was approachable... that said a lot about her to me. I had sent Ag a PM when the announcement was made on this forum about one of her accomplishments. We have mutual acquaintances in the Melbourne area... she said in her reply that it was a small world. My faith invites me to consider that we are a part of a much larger world that invites continuing exploration and discovery. I look forward to meeting her on that journey some day.

    As a pastor I am amazed that some of my best communions with God are when I am in the underworld!

    I keep coming back and reading and re-reading, but I am still at a loss for words. Enjoy all of the adventures in the next world, Agnes, and thank you for sharing your passion with us in this one.

    I'm just getting into the sport and I too am sad about the untimely loss of Ms. Agnes Milowka. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family. May peace be with them all. RIP Agnes.

    ALthough we never dove together, she infected me with her smile one day as we were both taking photos at the same dive site. We chatted briefly about some camera settings and then parted ways. It wasn't until recently that I put the amiable manner and wonderful smile together with the name. My life is richer for our brief encounter, and sadder today with the loss. Thoughts and prayers go out to all that can use them.

    Are there any plans for a memorial here in the US for Agnes and those of us who can't travel to austrailia? Bill

    It'd be nice to have a concurrent memorial here in the states. Monday 14th of March 2011 at 16:30... is that 1:30AM for eastern time zone?
