At the Services, I will have a scrapbook with pages for everyone to sign.  You can also add comments and memories, or poems, writings, drawings, photos, or pictures to the pages.  I would like to give this scrapbook to Tammy and Dawn, Zig's sisters, and his parents, to express, in a creative way, how much we respect and love Zig. The scrapbook has 50 pages, so it will hold a lot of memories to share with them. If you would like to email me something to print, I will add it to the pages. You can then sign it on Sunday. Or you can bring something with you, and I will have my glue dots or photo glue to put things into the scrapbook.  Even your signature and a few words will add a lot to this book.  If  you can't make the service, you can email me, and I will include your words. -Dame [[Tangeena]]

If you know that the person has already taken a sword from past events please do not send them to me again.

I would like to give this scrapbook to Tammy and Dawn, Zig's sisters, and his parents, to express, in a creative way, how much we respect and love Zig. The scrapbook has 50 pages, so it will hold a lot of memories to share with them. If you would like to email me something to print, I will add it to the pages. You can then sign it on Sunday. Or you can bring something with you, and I will have my glue dots or photo glue to put things into the scrapbook. Even your signature and a few words will add a lot to this book.
