“My husband Daryl and I had preplanned his and the big stuff for my funerals, knowing he had terminal cancer. As the saying goes - "make all the plans you want God is ALWAYS in control!" Our Pastor took a call to another congregation, the week Daryl passed our Legion Post already had a big funeral on Saturday, Zabka and our small community had big funerals and we got a big snow storm. So we had to change churches, bring in a Pastor and wait 13 days to have Daryl's funeral. A complete nightmare for me. I received so much support - above and beyond from the entire Zabka family! 💕💕 I am so very grateful for everything they did during this incredibly difficult time. Daryl's visitation and funeral were both everything he deserved. Lisa. Stevens”
