Our Beloved Zelio

[Dustoff]

I spoke with Z's sister Mary Beth the day she was admitted to the hospital and she told me that Z was wearing her embroidered Elio Motors hat. Mary Beth told me Z was very upbeat and thinking of, you all, her many forum friends.

Z is now flying with Her elio. So this for her.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."

well crap, I've only been on board since Nov and never met her but would have loved to have spent time talking with her. I feel like I lost a family member. This is really upsetting to me. Look forward to meeting her after I die.

Unbelievable! R.I.P. "Z".

Z reminded me of my Grandma Annie not only in stature but in spirit. When I finally saw a picture of her, I realized she also had the same twinkle in her eyes, like my Grandma did. I can not explain it but if you ever meet someone who's eyes just sparkle, hang onto them as they will surely change your life. I've only known Z for a few short months but I feel as if I had known her for a life time. Godspeed Z, my back seat will always be open for a spiritual passenger to tag along for a ride!

'my back seat will always be open for a spiritual passenger to tag along for a ride!'
As she will in my Elio.

Goodbye Z, thank you for all the great posts and positive outlook. GOD is surely thrilled you are by HIS side.

Dang Craig, I've made it all day with only a few tears...........until now! Excuse me everyone but I'm having a problem seeing my key board. Good night all, God bless!

As a tribute to Z, I will order my Elio with an Elgin dash, and think of her every time I see it.
