Mike and family. My deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you all at this time. I had met you for such a short time, but just knew by your words Mike, Zale was a very special lady taken far too soon. RIP

Thank you Zale for being Millie's trustee and looking after her for Les Petrie, your friend. I enjoyed meeting you at Qi Gong and know you are a loving kind lady. The world is smaller without you.
