Grateful to have had such a loving Zia. She was the best host and always ensured we were fed incredible food and were more than comfortable when we came to visit. I remember one trip, we arrived to Zia's place late in the evening. She insisted on feeding us so we suggested ordering pizza. Instead, Zia started making the best pizza from scratch. She was always willing to do anything to ensure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. We miss you and you will always be in our hearts.
Marilyn and I worked together at Tip Top for a few years. I was her manager. But she was my Guru. Not just for the business but for life. She guided me through so many ups and downs and always with a smile on her face. Even when I moved stores I would call her, many times just to catch up. But often when I needed to know a date something happened in MY life. She had the most amazing memory of anyone I’ve ever known. She loved her family so much. Her girls were her pride and joy. Our kids were close in age and we were constantly swapping stories. I can’t even imagine the pain of losing her you just all be feeling. My deepest heartfelt condolences to you all.
They sent me this photo to cheer me up when I was off with my broken leg. Hopefully Roger and Marilyn are hanging out somewhere laughing about the ridiculous things our team would get up to.
