Dear Joe and Sallyann.
I was blessed with the joy of your Mom this past year! Zena, faithful, proud of her family, fiesty and strong-willed, was a beautiful person whom loved life! I will forever remember her smile and THAT look she would give me when she knew I was trying to do what was best for her, rather than, what she would have preferred! She will always hold a special place in my heart. I thank you for entrusting your Mother in my care. I pray God and cherished memories comfort you at this time of sorrow. Sincerely, Jessica Goodrich
