Zola was a cherished friend of my mother's, Sarah Kresse(Sally). Sally enjoyed meal time with your mother. Together they lived beyond the walls of Ramsey Village. They were kindred spirits who chose to see the bright side of life.Sally wants you to know how very sorry she is for your loss and how very blessed she feels to have the opportunity to know Zola. The Kresse family loved your mom and i will miss her giggling joyful spirit

Gary, Luke, and Donna;
Your mother, my Aunt Zola, was a wonderful lady. She and my mother Agnes had a very deep loving sister relationship.
I always loved visiting with Aunt Zola through the years. I especially enjoyed my chats after I lost my mother in 2010.
She loved to garden, do church work, bake and cook for family and friends. She loved to read, sew, quilt, and help others.
Aunt Zola has a special place in my heart which will sit right there next to the place beside my mother.
We are all blessed from having her in our lives.
I am sure you and your families will have always have very special memories about your mother and grandmother.
