I worked with Zola at Tuttle Army Hospital and she was one the nicest people I ever knew. She lived her beliefs but she was tolerant of all. I know she and Shannon had a whirlwind courtship, she loved Bob Wills music, and Sherri only has a birthday on February 29th! I lost touch when I changed jobs, but I still remember Zola very affectionately.

We thought a lot of your mother, she was a very caring person. Our prayers are with now in your grief. Ruth and Carroll Baker
