I have great memories of Aunt Zoe. She loved to be at family gatherings and to visit with everyone. She holds a special place in my heart and will be greatly missed.

Zoe was always kind to me. She was the mother that anyone would love and wish they had. I know she will be missed.

I will miss my sister but have memories of times the family was together for Sunday dinners and holidays and the famous jello salad that she made. She was a person of strength and courage and she has a special place in my heart.
