It was a joy and a privilege to work with Dr. Zealand at Collier High School. His commitment to the wellbeing of children is unparalleled in the world today. We were blessed by his presence on this earth.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Our family embraces all with love and hugs!
