Hello friends. Charlotte and I send you our sympathy and our love. Mrs Berry was so nice to us when we became your neighbors. Loved to hear her laugh. Loved to hear her call Frank with that voice she used when he was in trouble. Find peace in knowing Heaven must be a wonderful place to be and she is there.

What a sweet aunt she was. She was always so kind and I never saw her with a frown on her face, and I doubt if she ever thought anything bad about anyone. I will always remember her smile. May you rest in peace, Aunt Zelota. Love, Susan McDaniel Balcerzak

From her sister (my mother): "I loved her so much. I am going to miss her." Love, her sister, Frances Compton McDaniel
