Nancy,
A big fan of yours from zodiackiller.com. To me, you have shown much courage to speak about Zodiac as you have in your efforts to solve the case. Perhaps now you will have your answer. Thank you for all you did for your community. Your personality disposition I found to be very sweet and sincere. I send my deepest condolences to your family and wish I could attend services. May God bless you and angels attend you and your family. We love you.
