I knew Mrs. Zirkle all of my life. We were neighbors when we lived on Bingham Street in Memphis. As a young child I played with Brenda and Ann. And Mrs. Zirkle was like a second mother to me. Mr. Burt was always around to fix my bicycle and always a help. Mrs. Zirkle was always smiling, friendly, and helpful and a wonderful cook. We always stayed in touch all through the years. I will miss her so much. But God called her home when she earned her wings!
Love always, Steve Hart

My dear Aunt Jim was like a mother to me after my mom passed away. I enjoyed our many years of visiting and conversations. Her stories were quite entertaining. I loved her to the moon and back and she’ll always have a special place in my heart.
