Dear Linda and Jim,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Since I do not get the journal I didn't hear about her until Sunday. What a wonderful woman she was.

Of course I only remember "hearing" them since little sisters were not included.
Such a wonderful saint you had for a mother.

To this day it is one of the fondest memories of my life.
Rest in peace Mrs. Zike (And thanks to you I typed this at...

She was a terrific teacher and a wonderful person. She made "typing" rather fun...
My prayers are with the family.
