Not sure what to say?

Gentry Family-
I know this is very very late. But i was just looking at it tonight and i felt as if i should sign it. Not a day goes by that I dont think of zach.I went to 4 years of elementary/middle school with him and always hung out with the same people and talked but it wasnt until 7th or 8th grade when we got very close. and even in 9th and 10th grade, even though I didnt go to homestead, we still talked very often. and hung out once in a while. He was one of the few boys from...

To my buddy Zach:
I miss you man so much. I pray everynight to you. I know that your always with Justin and me as we still are hanging around with eachother talking about you. Zach; Justin and I will never forget about you. You will always be with us untill the day we are all met up again. Sometimes I just look at the phone woundering if you're going to call me to hang out. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking about you. Zach I miss you man... The other day I was...

To the Gentry family, to friends of Zach, and to Joey (his "brother"): I do not know what to say exactly, since there is so much, so I will just see what comes to me while writing this. I know this is late, I'm not even sure if anyone, is still checking this. But just a few days ago I had a dream about Zach and felt like re-visiting this. Although it has been a few months, this all does not seem real to me. It just doesn't seem right. The memories I have of Zach are always of him and Joey on...

Dear Gentry Family,
When I first heard the news about Zach I was in shock and just didn't understand. Zach and I were in 3rd and 4th grade together and that's where I first met him. He was always just a wonderful guy with a smile that I don't think anyone could forget. During this past year, Zach and I kind of lost touch and didn't talk much anymore. And when I moved to Georgia we didn't keep in touch, but I won't ever forget him. He's an amazing person who will be truly loved and...

Gentry family,
I'm so sorry I didn't write sooner. It's hard for me to believe this has happened to such incredible people. God sure does have mysterious ways. Just from taking Zach (and Joey) home from school, Zach made me want to be a better person. He was the most loving person I've ever met. I don't ever remember him having a bad day when I took him home. He's in my dreams almost every night, and even then, he smiles the biggest smile I've ever seen. I miss him every day and I'll...

My other family: The Gentry's,
I'v went to this guest book several times woundering what to write in it. Well, here goes. Its still had to except the fact that Zach is gone, but what helps me the most is when I get together with my friends and just laugh about all the fun memories we had with him. He was such a great guy, and I always felt protected around him, as if nothing could happen. Zach was always protecting me, I was like his little brother. Well, if you guys want some good and...

Dear Gentry Family,
I wanted to say that I've been thinking of you all in this very sad time. Josh and Stephanie--I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but I was always truly impressed and amazed by the devotion you had to your family and I know this must be so difficult. I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet your brother: I'm sure that if he took after his siblings, he must have been an amazing person. May you have some comfort in knowing that your friends and family are...

Dear Susan and Family,
Not a day goes by that I do not pray for you and your family. I was so saddened to hear about your loss. May you lean on God during your tough times and think of Zachary walking with our Lord. I will continue to pray for all of you.

Dear John, Susan, and Family,
May God comfort you and give you strength and courage as you grieve the loss of your loving son and brother Zachary. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
