Hello, I am sorry for your loss. I recently purchased one of Mrs. Zoidis's paintings at New Hope Thrift Shop in Glenside, PA. I didn't know who she was until I searched for her online. If anyone in her family wishes to have the painting, please contact me and we can make arrangements. Brenden Lewis, 215-353-2570

I will always have wonderful memories of Kass. We had fun, we shared laughter and she was a true friend. We went to Girl's High together a long time ago. How special she was!!!!
