  2. My thoughts and prayers to Zelma’s family. I worked with Zelma at ExxonMobil and we have been friends for over 30 years. She was a wonderful person and loved her family and friends. She missed Gene so much and remembered all the memories they cherished together. We always enjoyed our lunches and catching up. She will truly be missed. Love you and miss you my friend!!
