Craig and Mary, I saw the wonderful care and love you both gave to your parents Ed and Lora, I was there to see it every weekend! They were such a beautiful inspiration to me! I loved to see them hold each others hands before each meal and thank God for still being together and for all they had through their life time together " It was so beautiful...." To see true love, and the true love they both had for the lord.

Craig & Family,
We were very saddened to hear of your fathers passing. He was a true gentleman and I enjoyed getting to know him and working for him at Zahner's Clothing Store.
Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Craig; Diane and I were saddened to learn of Ed's passing. I will always remember your father as a gentleman and a friend. It was Dad who drove me into Rockville in his classic car with a police escort when we opened our First Federal Office in 1971. I will remember, and forever appreciate, how well your dad and uncle, Manny, treated the Hebron Fire Department when we made our jacket purchases at Zahner's. Please take some comfort knowing that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

To the Zahner family, Very sorry to read about the passing of Mr. Zahner. Although our lives passed briefly Mr Zahner, and the entire Zahner family, were the nicest people to know and work for. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
