So sorry to hear this news. Tyra and I were inseparable growing up and many of my memories involve her grandparents. They were quick to treat me as one of their own. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To all my cousins...just want to let you know that I am thinking of you at this sad time. I wish I could be with you. I loved your mom. She was like an Angel. I miss writing her, something I did since I was a little girl. Aunt Zora, rest in peace. Love you and I'll burn a candle for you always. Your loving niece, Anna Milicevic with Dragan and children Natalia & Mathew xxxxxxxx

Sorry to hear of Zora's passing. Too many of our 'Old Dublin' folks have passed away. Zora and George will always represent a beautiful era of Dublin's history when homes and hearts were open to all friends.

They will live on forever in our hearts, touching our souls with the kindness they bestowed on those dear to them.

May God Bless Zora and keep her safe in His hands.

To all the Eger family, God bless Zora. She was so easy to like. Mary and I will be out of town and will not be able to attend showing or services. She will be in our prayers. Les and Mary Gates

My heartfelt sympathies to the family - Zora (and George) meant a great deal to me. I'm certain their door was open to everyone but they always made you feel like you were their one and only guest and they always had a minute to chat and Zora was always such a gracious host. I have many fond memories and Zora will be sorely missed.

I am sorry for your loss. I had no idea George had passed away either. He was a great guy and we used to talk allot. He was always a guy for a nice smile and a little chat. I am retired from Dublin PD. I didn't know Mrs. Eger quite as well but we had talked a few times. My deepest condolences.
