I love you Zach, you surprised me every time you could. You were always yourself, no matter the cost. I hope your mom and sister can learn how to not worry about you anymore. I hope you find what you were looking for on the other side.

Juli and Amanda, I am so sorry for your loss. Zach was a sweet, caring child. I was fortunate to have Zach as a second grade student at Lincoln School. He loved his family deeply. I pray that Zach and both of you are able to find peace. Numbers 6:24-26New King James Version (NKJV) βThe Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.
