Thoughts from Dorothy Kelly Ely
February 28, 2010
Zena was the Simon and Garfunkel of my young adult life. She convinced me that I truly was not a rock, taught me to polka and savor good vodka. Although she encouraged me to listen to the sounds of silence, she modeled that the sounds of laughter were far more valuable. I treasure many tear-filled moments, laughing with pure and uninhibited delight, enjoying the wild antics of five children, unnumbered cats, dogs, and even a horse. Our family was blessed to live next door to Zena!
