To my loving Auntie and Uncle John; To my wonderful cousins John, Chris, and Steve and their beautiful families; and to Nathan and his beautiful family; may you all heal enough one day to feel whole again and please know that my love and prayers are with you now and for always...

"Remember me in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.
But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.
Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.
Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.

And when your thoughts do turn to me,
Know that I would not have you cry.
But live for me and laugh for me,
When you are happy, so am I.

Remember an old joke we shared;
Remember me when spring walks by.
Think once of me when you are glad
And while you live, I shall not die".

Meredith, John, Nathan & Family,
I wish we could go back to that moment when we first met.
Zack in his baby swing, so adorable and sweet, just perfect!
He was patient, so much fun to be with, and incredible with his
younger cousins...
Always smiling, a spark in his eye, playful, truly a gift to anyone
he came across.
I am lucky to have shared in a part of such an amazing nephews life.
I cannot express nor begin to understand the depth of such a loss.
I will always treasure my sweet nephew Zack.
My heart, thoughts, prayers and love are with you all.
Today and always.
God Bless You Zachary...
Love,
Auntie Maria
