WHOA! I just came home from the Zirnheld visitation... I have known that the Hester and the Zirnheld familes has been popular, but not THAT popular...the church was PACKED, i mean PACKED, with families, friends, acquanitices and whatnot. It was PACKED double the church size, which means about 2000 people came to show their respects to Rita and her girls - Blair, Lindsey and Halee- and Rita's Deaf parents, James and Beulah Hester, and Mike's family. One person even flied in from Seattle, Washington, giving up his christmas vacation just to be with the family. That shows how much friends value their relationship with each other. I saw several friends from out of town, out of state, etc that you wouldnt see at an event other than that. Mike was such a gentleman. He and Rita had one of the BESTEST and strongest marriages I've seen ever. They would be married 30 years this August, Rita being 20 and Mike being 19 when they got married.

It tears me away when i see a widow giving up his/her spouse for eternity.
