Praying for your family and Zoe’s friends!! Life
Is so precious but way too short 🙁
Words cannot express my sadness on hearing of Zoe’s death. I don’t know what I can do to ease your suffering – but if there is anything please don’t hesitate to call.

Your daughter was a dear friend and she had a beautiful soul. When Zoe would visit here in Rogers she would sing my daughter Chloe to sleep in french when it was her bed time. I cannot recall the name of the song, but it was so beautiful and soothing. My daughter still remembers.. I will forever miss her enthusiasm and light for life, art, her family and friends. Rest in Peace sweet girl and I pray for peace and comfort for the family and the many dear friends who are broken over this loss. Tu me manques
When I picked up this morning’s newspaper and saw Zoe’s name and photo I was overtaken with sadness. I know her from the days when she waited tables at Tiny Tim’s Pizza/West Mountain Brewing Co. She was indeed a free spirit with a zest for life.
I am deeply saddend by her passing and offer my sincere condolences to all who loved her.
Julie, Jim and family, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Zoe’s passing. I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything that I can do for you please let me know.
Zoe was much loved for her charisma and joie de vivre! She was a pleasure to be around and could brighten any day. The world will be dimmer without her. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Julie and Jim,

Sincerest condolences to your family. My heart aches for your loss of a daughter and sister. She spoke often of her love for each of you. Although our paths crossed for a short time in the design and banking realm, she brought sunshine and laughter that is lasting.
Zoe brought so much joy to so many lives.
I worked with Zoe for only a couple of months but what a lasting impression she made with her magnetic smile and outgoing nature. My prayers are to bring peace that passes all understanding to Zoe’s family and friends during this very difficult time.
Your family is in my prayers during this time of loss. Zoe and I met in college and spent many a sleepless night working away in the Interior Design studios together. She kept everyone smiling and laughing no matter the hour. She had a genuine heart, and amazing artistic talent. She was a friend for life and I will carry her memory with me the rest of mine. What an incredible young lady I was privileged to have met and shared time on this earth with. My condolences and deepest sympathies, Ashley.
Julie, I went to high school with Zoe. She was a beautiful person. I am praying for peace and strength for your family. I am so very sorry.
Oh Julie, I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Zoe’s passing. I know you loved her dearly. This is so sad. I hold you and your family gently in my heart as you go through this grief. I am so sorry.
Chere Julie et Jim,
le message du deces de Zoe m’a profondement bouleverse. Je suis tres triste et je vous souhaite beaucoup de force pour passer a travers ces moments difficiles. Je suis certain que Zoe, pour utiliser les mots des Cowboys Fringants de la chanson “la reine”, vit dans un monde ou le ciel est bleu.
Mes sinceres condoleances
Stefan

I only met Zoe once, but she made such an amazing impression on me. When we said goodbye, I felt as if I had known her for years. She was the friendliest, most outgoing, happy person I have ever met. She will be missed by so many. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to meet her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

l’absence deZoé. Our thoughts are also with you Brian. Zoé was one of a kind.

Suzanne, Paul, Julian, Miles et Adam Spiker.
Dr. Carrier,
You and Zoe had such a tremendously positive impact on my son– I cannot begin to express my gratitude to either of you. And, sadly, I waited too long to share my thanks with Zoe. You provided the inspiration for him to take his studies seriously and honor the engineer in him. Zoe encouraged and shared his passion for the arts and made such a profound connection with him that he was able to balance his two loves/passions/interests. I cannot begin to imagine nor understand the grief you and all who loved Zoe feel. I send you my sympathy and love, and I pray that you and all who grieve their loss of Zoe in their lives will one day create a new balance in your lives. Thank you, and thank Zoe.
Dear Julie, Jim and Family,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Zoe. I am keeping you in my heart and in my thoughts.
So sorry to hear about Zoe. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. I remember her free spirt and smiling face from design school.
Dear Julie, Jim, Maggie and “baby” Jeanne Adelle. Our deepest sympathy to your family at this time. Gillian was very sad to hear of the death of Zoe. Zoe and Maggie were good friends during your time in Saskatoon. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Julie,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family and please accept our deepest sympathy.
