Missy Streidl

Hi there,

As many of you know, nobody loved spending time at the zoo more than Missy. Her family and friends would like to honor Missy by creating a fundraiser in her name. These funds will be used to first purchase a permanent marker of some kind (brick, paver, bench, etc.) to be located within the zoo in dedication to Missy and her love animals. This will serve as a permanent memorial spot for her family and friends to visit while visiting the zoo. Ideally, this is somewhere close to the hippo enclosure because the new baby hippo had Missy very excited to see over the last few weeks. Missy knew just about every animal's name, it's status, and was the resource that we all would call if we need an animal update. Missy kept a close watch on the recent escape and was relieved when the animal was captured unharmed.

After the purchase, any remaining funds will be donated to the Dallas Zoological Society in Missy's name.

Missy, your family, friends, and your animal friends at the zoo, all love you and already miss you terribly.
