We were privileged to know Zlata first through the many years our children attended Camp Gan  Izzy and when our then 4 yr old son was in the first nursery school class at the old MJBHA.  Several years later I was having dinner with Zlata , telling her how recently our then college age daughters with their friends had been sitting at our dining room table singing all of the Camp Gan Izzy songs. She and I spoke that day about the impact the camp had not only on our family  but our friend's families as well- even with all of the craziness of the van breaking down, snack of warm gushy plums etc.- our kids gained from those summer experiences a deep understanding of  mitzvoth  and love of Judaism.  It was Zlata's and Rabbi Geisinsky's dedication, vision and much patience which fostered this learning.  Zlata's spirit will continue with each of the people that she touched.
