Hi Zanetta: Well, I finally got up the nerve to say "Hello" to Michael yesterday, and he said "Hi" back, and I was so glad to learn that he is doing well and seems happy. I told him to tell you I said "Hey!", but was greatly saddened to hear that you aren't here anymore. So, I thought I would leave you this note, and say that you are/were 1 in a million. Such a great lady - I can only say that I'm sorry I missed you, now that I am back in town. I guess I'll have to let this be a lesson to make contact with those I care about and like and admire. Peace be with you, lovely lady.

Mom,

I miss you so much and think about you daily. I think about all the fun that we had while we were growing up as kids with you as our mother. You nurtured me and gave me five siblings whom I love very much. Webster's definition of ZANETTA is: gracious, generous, beautiful and loving mom.

Say hello to Dad, Me-Ma, Grandaddy, Grandmother, Patty and Don for me. We will see each other again one day and I'll try to bring you a little black dog.

Much Love,

Your daughter, Kristina Cartwright Gerner.

We spent so many wonderful years sharing the good times and the sad and watching all the little ones grow to be amazing adults. You were a beautiful friend and I’ll never forget you. I’m so lucky to have all the wonderful memories that will always be with me. I'm thankful I got to see you before you left us and to see all your beautiful children and grandchildren who all love you so much. You will always be in my thoughts, my beautiful friend.

Zanetta was always the nicest lady whenever I was around the house. She always supported David Krause and I whatever we wanted to do. I'll never forget the Balloon Festival in 1984 when Zanetta was nice enough to put me and my future wife Lynn up for the weekend to enjoy the festival. We all had a wonderful time. My thoughts and prays are with all Zanetta's children and grandchildren. Peace be with you all.

To the family.... You are all very special, as we have all watched how you all so unselfishly gave of yourselves and your lifes to care for your mom these last many years. This speaks mountains about the kind of woman your mother is and children she raised,..they say its not what you take with you, but what you leave behind...look at all of you....your mom must be very proud. Please know that each of you are in our prayers and know that peace will find you as time goes by and what your feeling now will be replaced with cherished memories....Love you all

I will miss you. The house is empty without you. As you now we had our ups and downs but I hope I was able to show you I was good enough for your daughter and that deep inside I truly loved you and could call you mom. Have fun with Bill.

Bunton, Our whole family will remember the glorious days of the bay house. So many of our passed elders made us feel so safe and loved, I only hope we can come as close with own off spring. I can't think of a more valuble family tradition. The Reese Mchenry family. Your loving cousins. you will always be remembered lovingly.

Buntin, we'll miss you! I'll never forget your sense of humor and how sweet you were to my mother and father (your Aunt Margie and Uncle Ben). And how you knew Helen and I used your nail polish when we sneaked into your room, but you didn't get mad. I love you.

We only had the privilege of knowing Zanetta for the past 10 years, but she was an incredibly spirited individual (a trait that we see in all of her children). We wish we had had the opportunity to know her the way that you all did in the earlier years. Zanetta visited our home on many occasions when we all got together and it was always special to have her here. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all, and also know that in time, the cherished memories of your mom will replace the inconsolable grief you now feel.



We love you all,

Shawn, Diana, Shawn Michael, and Lacey Coughlin

Your Son, Michael
