1 Cor. 15;55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
It was such a blessing to know Zeta - a lovely, vibrant person who loved the Lord and those around her. Always a smile upon her face and an encouraging word to share. May God comfort you in your loss.

My Husband and I have known Zeta thru our Church for the past 20 years. We considered her a dear friend. I especially enjoyed hearing her stories of how Bricktown was when she was a child. And I will miss seeing her every Sunday morning at Church and she always brought me the AC Moore coupons. And later at Bennies where we would gather after Church for brunch. She was a wonderful lady and we will miss her so very much. May our Lord and Savior be with you all as you go thru this sad time, but may your memories bring you many happier moments. Sincerly Doris and Herb Ackerman
