Uncle Joe, David, Kenny, Larry and family, Aunt Zelma will be missed by all of us. I remember the times you would all come and visit us in Utah, we would laugh, joke and tease each other and eat until we were stuffed. Now Aunt Zelma's, probably looking at my dad holding his Pepsi, saying Toby, Toby, We love you all and wish we could be there. Love, Peggy and Michael Honomichl

Dearest Rodriguez Family,

Sister Zelma has always had a special place in our family. We have many fond memories of the times we have spent with her. She was always thoughtful and wise a soft spoken gentle soul. She had such patients with everything. The times she spent playing monopoly with Scooter when they were both at Grandma Perea's are times he will always remember. She was such a dear friend to my parents. On behalf of the Perea family we send our deepest condolences.

We all know that she is in a better place but she will be missed.

Dearest Brother Rodriguez we send our love and prayers. May God be with you during this difficult time.

Thank you for your friendship over the years.

With Love,
Karen Perea Cisneros

I am still in disbelief that you are gone Aunt Zelma, but I know you are in a much better place and that our heavenly father was waiting for you with his arms wide open to welcome you. I wish I could be there with the rest of our amazing family to celebrate your reunion with your many loved ones and to also mourn the loss of the greatest aunt I've ever known, but Germany is a long ways away and I wouldn't have been able to get there on time. Please know that we are sending all of our love to you Uncle Joe. Please stay strong and remember that we all love you very much.
