Joe and family,

I have such wonderful memories of Zetta - especially her kindness and wonderful sense of humor. She was a dear friend and quite a lady. Zetta was so kind and helpful to my mother when she was ill. She left a wonderful legacy, but I know there is sorrow in your hearts. May the wonderful memories sustain you during this difficult time and cheer you many times in the future. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
