I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Zell’s passing. I truly enjoyed talking with him at church on Sunday mornings. It always just made my day and my heart smile! What a precious man he was! I will miss our conversations however I can’t help but think of how happy he must be to not only get to see Jesus face to face, but to once again be reunited with his sweet wife and all his family! Heath, Amy and grand babies…he loved you all so very much…you could hear it in his voice when talked to me about you! Please know that I will be praying for God to draw near and hold you tight through the coming days!

Every experience I had with Zell
was positive. He was kind and funny. Attentive and sharp and greatly interested in the Lord and the Word of the Lord. So glad I got to cross paths with him.
