Memories and Condolences
for Stanley Zolna

Not sure what to say?





I miss you so much Dad. Wish you could have stayed a little longer.

I keep your felt cap in my (your) car. I glance at it as I head off to work, appointments, etc. I like to think that you are sitting in the car with me. It helps me get through the rough days.

Tell Mom I miss her too... I've put up some of her Christmas decorations. Gilda, the bear,is "resting" comfortably on my sofa.

Miss you. : ... (
