I wanted to share how much I always loved and appreciated Mrs. Zelich. I remember when she was an operator and we would "dial" 0 and try to get her 😉 The entire Zelich family is near and dear to me especially Steve- sending much love to everyone.

Dear Diane, Neven and Steve,A few moments ago I found out about your mother's passing and mom and I want to express our sympathy. We just spent the last 10 -15 minutes reminiscing about the old days. Believe it or not, mom is 90 as well as can remember back farther than before I was born. Our neighborhood was always quite close and it was through the friendships of our parents "back in the days" that we all became childhood friends. We will always cherish those memories from what I thought was a great neighborhood. (except when Neven tackled me in football in the field next to Mrs. Sullivan's house, OUCH).Love to you all from Miami
