Our hearts are heavy from Aunt Lethia’s passing. She was an amazing lady and cook! No matter how long it had been since you seen her last, she always made you feel like you were right at home. We will miss her kindness and graciousness. So many wonderful memories of her and all of our family in Asheville that I will hold near and dear always. I know that she is square dancing with Uncle Hoyle right now.
Love, Carolyn, Frank, Jesse and Jared Zellner

W.C., Phyllis, Jackie, and families…
We are so sorry to hear that Aunt Lethia is no longer with us. I think, when we were growing up, we just always knew she would be there when we came to visit, and she was one of the best parts of visiting North Carolina. I think we came to appreciate her more as we got older, and realized what an important part of our family she really was. You all are in our thoughts and prayers, and hope that, if you need anything at any time, you will feel free to call us. I am sorry that we can not be there, but we will say prayers for you all.
