I was saddened to hear of Zelma's passing. She will be sorely missed by all of her family and her many friends. Darline, Zelma and I had met for lunch a while back and I meant to keep in touch and have lunch again but time slipped away. I am sorry that I let that happen. I wish to express my heart felt sympathy to all of Zelma's family and friends. The Minford Class of 1952 lost a wonderful classmate and friend. God Bless.
