We should all be so blessed to have a Zelma

In my daily search for relevant articles on handwriting, I came across Zelma Hooper’s obituary. I don’t typically read random people’s obits but I wondered why Zelma came up in my search... Oh, how I wish I’d known Zelma! 

This dynamo was a Renaissance woman, noted not only for her beautiful handwriting (I’d love to see it) but also for her crocheting, painting, beautiful afghans, and for being an accomplished piano player. On top of all that amazingness, she read her poem "Her Babe" written for her husband of 60 years at his memorial service. You know I’m a sucker for love letters!

Zelma passed away on Monday at the age of 95. We should all be so blessed to have a Zelma in our lives.
