Dear Zic Family,
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember Ms. Zic as a child growing up with Joanne and Julie. She was always warm and friendly to me and a pleasure to be around. She really was a kind and wonderful woman who will be sorely missed. Please know if there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to call. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Jeanine Saflarski

Mr Zic, Loren, Jim, Joanne, and Julie..I am so sorry for your loss, knowing Mary was an especially amazing part of my life. Her kindness and love for her family no matter what the situation was remarkable..She always had a smile or asked how my boys were doing when I saw her up at Big Lots and the hugs ..her hugs had a way of making things all seem to get better ..I will miss her smiles and her compassionate heart but she will always be with you all..God Bless and may Angels wings surround you all in your time of sorrow.

Dear Zic family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was an amazing woman. She was kind, smart, beautiful, and strong. I was welcomed into your family and made your family my own 31 years ago through Joanne. That is one of the best things that ever happened to me. God sent me a family that showed me how to be a better person and how to be a better mother to my three children. Mary (Mom) never realized how important she was in my life. I loved her like she was my own mother. Heaven received an Angel on January 10th. Mary will be sincerely missed by my family and I. I know she will be looking after your family from her heavenly home. She finished her earthly job, raised a wonderful family, and touched many lives. I guess it was her time to begin the next chapter in her life, walking peacefully with Jesus. She was an extraordinary woman and she will never be forgotten. I am grateful for the 31 years I had shared with Mom. I am a better person for knowing her, she touched my heart.
