Sam-I am so sorry for the loss of Zona. I was just thinking of her today and thought I would try and contact her. Then I found out she had gone on to meet Jesus before me. I loved the time we had together. She was a precious woman.

Zona was a very caring, loving lady, and I am deeply saddened by her passing. It didn't come as a complete surprise, but she courageously fought back so many times from the many setbacks, that I thought she was almost invincible. There will be a spacial place in heaven for her now. My deepest condolences go to Sam, their children, and grandchildren.
