I am so sorry Zora is gone. What a lovely memorial video! I especially remember her husband Harry and his many kindnesses to me. Her son Richard too. After my Baba Celia's funeral, Richard came to the house and sat with her husband, my Dedo Nick, for an extended amount of time even though Richard was going out of town. He seemed to know my Dedo needed him. Like Father, like son: very classy. Bog da prosti. Memory eternal.
