Out of all the teachers I had in grade school, Mrs. Zielinski was without question my favorite. She made going to school fun. After all those years it was an absolute joy to see her at our grade school reunion a couple years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends for their tremendous loss.

Such a wonderful woman has left this earth. One thing is for sure...she left it a much better place. She touched our lives with so much love and knowledge. As one of her many students, I know she will always hold a special place in my heart.

Mrs. Z was my teacher and was one of my favorites at that. She taught us so much about school and life. She always understood my test taking problems. One day i wish to be as great of a teacher as she was. She will be missed.

Tom & Anthony,

Words cannot express how very sorry that I was to hear about your loss. I am so glad that I was able to see her when I was in for our reunion. She was a hugh part of my life at St. Odilo and my Mom ( Shirley ) thought so much of her as we all did. You will both be in our prayers and she will always be in my memories.

Love to you all, Lori Wilkens
