May God be with the family and may they know that the best angels are needed in Heaven. So God took one of the best for what he needed her to do. May God Bless

My family's sincere condolences to the Z'berg family. I remember Mrs. Z'berg as a devoted and dedicated mother driving groups of children to swimming meets from Park Terrace Swim & Tennis Club. Later, as a college student doing an intership in the Calif. Legislature, I would see her deligently working on the floor of the Senate and was amazed at her energy and steadfastness. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
