Donnie,
So sorry to see that your Mom pasted away. Mom saw it on TV.
Mom said she hadn't heard form her for a while and had tried to call her and didn't get an answer. She must have been sick for a while.
Our families had a lot of good times together. We had lots of fun. It brings back lots of memories, and I think of those times often.
Take care and God bless,
John and Linda Honaman Johnson

Donny, Our deepest sympathy. The last time I saw your mom was at the White Crow, when I was there with my mom and dad. She was so proud of you and Suizann. I have some great childhood memories of Zeitler get togethers. God Bless you during this time and bring you peace. We would love to see you if you get to WI.

Condolences and sympathy to the family of my Aunt Mary Lou Zeitler. She was a very special person. Before Barbies and Princesses, she would entertain us with drawings of beautiful long haired girls in gorgeous gowns. She was very talented. She had a good life filled with her share of happiness and sorrow. Like her sisters, she was a worrier. I especially remember the love she and Uncle Don had for each other and for their family. Condolences and gratitude to her Nephew Jimmy and his wife and to her dear friend Maureen. Thank you for your caring and for helping her communicate with her sisters when she was unwell. You were appreciated more than words can say. I, and her sisters, are unable to attend her funeral but want everyone to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Mary Lou will live on in our memories, as will Uncle Don and Carol Ann.
