Hello classmates,
It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you the passing of my dad, Herbert Zelman. I was lucky to have spent the last 4 happy days with him before he passed away in his sleep this morning. I’m thankful he went peacefully and had a full 91 years of life. Mom and Dad spend 6 years up north with me before moving them to Florida to be close to Drew. 
My husband and I are flying back to Celebration, Florida this afternoon. Dad will be cremated and we will have a family memorial in a few weeks in Florida. 
Dad is finally at peace and happy in heaven with his first born, my brother, Gary. They were always two peas in a pod. I’m happy for Dad that they’re back together again. 

With great sadness,
Nancy

Nancy, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m glad you were around and his passing was peaceful. My mom is 91 also... we’re so lucky to have had them for so long. 
I know so many years of great memories will help in the difficult time

Very sorry Nancy.
Always enjoyed your Dad.  He Had a great 
deadpan sense of humor and a brilliant delivery.
Many don't know, but Not a bad jumpshot either

Oh Nancy,

I'm so sorry about your Dad. He was a great guy. What a wonderful life he had! You were blessed to have him for so long, although it is never long enough, as I well know.

My condolences to all your family.

Love, Jill

Oh Nancy I am so sorry for your loss! I am sending you and your family love and strength to get through the next few weeks. I know it’s been a challenging time for you and your family but you have been the best ever daughter selflessly caring for your parents over the last six to eight years. And albeit you have been expecting the inevitable, the grief if still there.
My condolences are with you all during this sad and difficult time. And I will have you in my heart this week and the memory of your dad in my thoughts! See you in about 4 weeks for a big hug!!
💕💕💕

Hi Nancy: 

Very sorry to hear of your father’s passing.  Sounds like he had 91 good years with a wonderful family.  

Best regards,
