Zita is greatly missed by her many friends at Alta Mira in Menomonee Falls. Her sense of humor and laugh and loving kindness made her welcome everywhere--but especially at the Sheepshead table!

I may have lost touch with Zita and the family these past 40 years or so but the the strong, happy memories of our Holidays and get-togethers have endured. There was always more food and laughter than you thought possible. And, I still remember Cathy like it was yesterday. Take care.

I will miss Aunt Zita. I'm glad we got to spend time together visiting Uncle Cooney and doing a little shopping last year. It just won't seem the same without her. I have a lot of good memories, especially with Aunt Zita, Uncle Cooney and all my cousins. Love, Marilyn

I will always remember your parent's warmth and welcome when I met all of you. There are so many happy memories that ElRoy shared with me and then we made some more memories that I cherish. My love to all of you, you are in my thoughts and prayers for peace and healing. Love, Roberta Nagel

MOM, I wanted so desperately to have more time with you and to hold your hand and say "I LOVE YOU". You left us so quickly,I hate that you were alone without us there to hold you like we did for dad, but I'm happy you didn't suffer. Love you dearly Colleen............

Grandma, we miss you so much. I only joined your family a short 9 years ago but even before Zack and I married I was welcomed with open arms. I will always remember your caring spirit and the special times we spent together at holidays, our recent fish fry and a sunny day we spent running errands. Your stories and laughter made that day especially memorable for me. I wish we would have had more of those times together. We will try to find comfort that you are at peace and in the Lord's loving embrace along with Grandpa and Cathy. Love you.

We're so sorry to hear of your loss. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Zita was such a wonderful and kind person, with a great sense of humor. We never serve cheesy potato casserole without one of us bringing up fond memories of Zita mixing up a big batch for a family party.
