We are praying for you during this difficult time. It is hard, but cherish every memory, and take advantage of every moment you can spend with your Family. Zack and Nick both rode my bus for a while and were a pleasure. My husband knew Zack from FMS. We were both so sad to hear of his passing.
May God bless you all and comfort you.
Nick,you stay strong. You're a great person with endless possibilities ahead! "Mrs. D."

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to all of Zack's family. I had the wonderful opportunity to teach Zack while he was in fourth grade at William Perry Elementary. I can remember having numerous conversations with his grandmother, Jean Buchanan, as she tried to encourage Zack to always do his best. Zack always had a beautiful smile that warmed my heart. May God be with you all during this difficult time. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
I found this and edited it.
