August 13, 2008
Zebariah went with the angels to be with his grandpa, John A. Lance III in Heaven. He will be deeply missed by his best friend and brother, Dylan Lance; his mother, Robyn Lance and Jeff Todd; his father, John A. and Barbara Lance IV; sisters, Roxanne Lance, Raven Lance and Tiffany Tallett; brother, Derrick Tallett; grandparents, Diana and Ron Johnson, James McGrath and Betty Lance; also many aunts, uncles and cousins. Although his time on earth was short, Zebariah deeply touched the hearts of everyone in his life and he will be in our hearts forever.
A memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family. The family wishes to extend a special thanks to the Baxter family and the McDonough and Oxford rescue squads. In lieu of flowers, donations in Zebariah's name may be made to the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation, 281 Port Richmond Ave., Staten Island, N.Y. 10302. Arrangements have been entrusted to Wm. R. Chase & Son Funeral Home, 737 Chenango St., Port Dickinson.

Dear Robyn,
I am very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Zeb at BOCES. I will always remember his smile, but will especially remember the times we were in the BDC pool together and how he loved the water and being free. Now, Zeb is truly a free angel........

I only got to spend a short time with Zeb while working at the school he attended. What a wonderful young man. He touched the lives of all of us in those two little rooms. My heartfelt sympathy to his parents and family. What a wonderful gift it was to have him even though it was brief!

While I only worked with Zeb for a short time he was a treasure I will never forget. His smile and laughter could turn the most difficult day into a joyful one. He gave so many of us at TLC such wonderful memories. While we often think of how much we do for the children we work with, Zebs personality did so much for us to brighten our day that it sometimes seemed like he was taking care of us. I will miss him.

I provided OT services to Zeb this summer and during the school year. I just wanted to let the family know that they are in my thoughts and prayers. Zeb was a special boy who brought me smiles and opened my heart. May the love so many people felt for him bring you peace in the days to come. Sherri Kuratnick

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
