To Mr. Zip's Family,
I am so sorry to learn of his death. I talked with him and Ms. Doris at the hospital the other day. She and I were waiting for tests. I remember them for a long time, as Joan and myself worked together when we were young.
May God be with each of you during these trying times. May all the good memories be foremost in your minds.
