"Mrs. Z". Quite a lady. For a couple years, back in the Luker days, she must have thought that I'd moved in with Zimniewwicz family and Jim just forgot to let her know. Like she didn't have enough mouths to feed already? Always made me feel welcomed though! Will always remember her fondly.
I'm sure Chester was there to greet her with a big smile and welcome her home.
Great people. True blessings in my life.

The world is a little less bright with the passing of this fine lady. Finally she has joined Chet on the other side. What a pair they made...and what a family they raised? Love to all the Z's.
