As Chaplain of the Alfred Holt Colquitt UDC Chapter #2018, I expend condolences to your family for our dear Zadie whom I have know for many years. She was indeed a treasure and such a sweet lady. Our thoughts are prayers are with you all at this time, and in the days to follow. I will send information to the Ga. Division Chaplain, and her name will be read at the Memorial Service at Ga. Division Convention on Oct 1, 2010 at the St. John United Methodist Church, Augusta, GA. A memorial contribution from our Chapter will be sent to the Ga. Division Memorial Fund. I regret that I will be unable to attend the service at the Church. A notice will be sent to all members via e-mail today, Friday. With much love, Mary
