Elda:



Sorry to hear about your loss. While I didn't know Zemah very well, I know the two of you were happy together, and that you will miss Zemah very much.



Your former Sunday School student, Bill Wulfert

Zemah and I go back to when we were still young children. We were in Sunday School together at St. Simon and Confirmation Class with Lois Ewert. He was also in the bridal party when Clarence and I got married at St. Simon. We enjoyed many good times together with him and Loretta, and at the family picnics in Michigan.



Farewell Dear Friend.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Zemah's death. I cannot tell you how many happy memories I have of him and Aunt Loretta. He was blessed to find happiness with Elda. He was a lucky man to be loved by two such wonderful women.
