Eddie & Steve and other family members: I am so sorry to learn of Ms. Zelda's passing. She was such a dear lady and a very good friend. I saw her last with our girls AWANA group at Christmas at Wellington and we shared some good memories of times past. I am glad to be able to call her my friend. My heart goes out to you. To lose any family member is a loss, but when it's mom, somehow it just seems greater. I believe she was a child of God and you will see her again. God Bless each of you. If I cannot make it to the services, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
