    Goodbye Zep until I see you again, Love Nora

    1. My dearest Nora ( MaMa ) I’m so broken hearted for all of my Arizona family. Mostly because of all the love and unity you and Popo has given everyone. The only comfort I can share is in the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4
      And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Even though sleeping he will live again in Paradise. My deepest sympathies. Laverne
