Mrs. Z was a very important part of my life growing up. When I couldn't go to my mom, she was there for me. Her kids' friends were her kids. Her family and work at the parish were her whole world. She was a great lady and will be missed by all who knew her and loved her, but her love will live on in her kids and grandkids.
