This message of condolence to all of Zeltite's loved ones comes from Jack and Christine Kemper who live in Huntsville Ontario. I was made aware of the one year anniversary of her passing by my son Brad and also Brad and Larissa's son Isaac, and also by means of this email. Isaac expressed via message on our cell phone that the anniversary of his Oma's passing has give him significant grief, to which I (Jack) replied that 'this is totally understandable sweetheart', and I replied to him that his Oma is now looking down on him from heaven and saying that she is safe in the hands of God and in that regard, she would want him to feel the presence of the love of God which can also give him peace and comfort in the days ahead. It is Christine's and my sincere hope that all of Zeltite's family and loved ones find peace and comfort on this anniversary and to place their trust in God, that he brings home all his children who love and serve him. 

Our sincere condolence,
Jack and Christine Kemper

So very sorry for your loss 
Breaks my heart, worked with Zeltite for many years with the City of Hamilton, she was truly the best person, very generous, knowledgeable, smart, honest and she loved to speak her mind about everything
Enjoyed many outings with her and other friends for lunch, or after work
Brought so much laughter to our many conversations
I am still in shock
Rest in peace my dear friend

Jack and Christine Kemper are saddened to hear of Zeltite's recent passing, and express our profound condolence to her family. We are the parents of Bradley Kemper, husband of Larissa, and are the grandparents of Bradley and Larissa's children, Isaac, Lilah, Mitchell and Wesley.
Zeltite was an angel to her grandson Isaac who was diagnosed with Rabdomya Sarcome cancer at the age of four. 
Zeltite was very much grief stricken over this development. She visited Isaac almost daily over several years while he was at McMaster Hospital. On so many occasions she would bring Isaac a small Monster Truck toy, which is what Isaac was very fond of playing with. He accumulated quite a large collection of these Monster Trucks. Zeltite will be missed very much and remembered by all family and friends.

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Zeltite. We go back a very long time through our work in the Building Department. We shared a lot of fun times outside of the office as well. Zeltite always loved to get all dressed up and go out to celebrate a colleague’s birthday or retirement and getting together at Christmas for a special night out. 
She will be missed. 
My condolences to Hal and the family

This is the Zeltite I know. Full of energy, full of life, she loved to dance. I met Zeltite through Janice about 50ty years ago. Zeltite was full of kind words but also spoke her mind. She did not like mean people and told them so, when confronted. As a group of friends we gathered together once a year at Christmas. We had dinner downtown Hamilton. There were nine of us. We love you Zeltite and will miss that energy, you made us all laugh. Big hugs until we meet again. xoxo

What can I say about Zeltite? These photos are just a small glimps of the character that she was. They are absolutely beautiful. Whenever I saw her, I instantly knew that I would be laughing. She was a strong and opinionated woman. She was a realist. She was absolutely hilarious. Her laugh lit up the room. She stood tall in her truth, yet was always kind. I deeply respected that about her. One of the last times that I spoke with her, we spent two hours talking about bylaws and building codes. Her wealth of knowledge was beyond impressive. I cannot tell you how many times she would randomly come up in my conversations with people about her Jeopardy skills. My heart is shattered for everyone experiencing this heartbreaking loss. I take comfort knowing she’s in heaven, smiling down; most likely eating a peanut buster parfait :) RIP Big Z, to say you will be missed is an understatement xo

Zeltite was such a special person. She was the first person I met working at city hall, Hamilton.  For a brief time we were also neighbours in Grimsby. While  sharing rides to work or attending work related functions Zeltite became my friend.  
Zeltite will be missed and always fondly remembered.
Condolences to the family.

In my mind when I think of Zeltie, I remember her in her 40s, coming over into the garage to hang out with my parents and listen to music. They were so cool!  I always remember her as upbeat, energetic, friendly and ALWAYS making people laugh! I'm sending you guys so much love and strength right now. You have so many people who love you and will be there for you if you need it. My sincere condolences.  Love, Joelle

Sending our deepest sympathies to the family.

I'm sorry to hear of Zelte's passing. I worked with her for many years in the Building Department and have many fond memories of her. Condolences to her family.
