In Loving Memory.....

On November 23, 2009 Donna Broadhurst had to say her final goodbye to her beloved iguana, Essa (pronounced EEEsa). Many of you saw Essa at our various events. She was the big green lizard who had all her spinal spikes cut off by children with scissors. Even though she was obviously abused before she came to live with Donna, she was the sweetest, calmest, most tolerant iguana you could imagine. She would sit like the demure grand dame that she was and allow any and all to pet her. She never made an aggressive or escapist move and was a fabulous ambassador for the reptile world. Essa will be sorely missed by all of us who had the privilege of working with her for the past several years.
