Hi Susan and Bob and Josh. I wish I had magic words of comfort and consolation. But there are no magic words and there is no consolation. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I haven't seen Zach in quite a while. What a handsome young man! But for me, Zach will always be between 8 and 14. That sweet, smiling boy who never treated my son Harry with anything other than love and respect. He will always be in my memory. Bob Murphy.

Dear Susan & Bob,

We are truly so sorry for your loss. No words could ever express our sympathies and condolences that will ever you give comfort on the loss of Zach. The words simply do not exist. When the world speaks of Zach, they will speak not with tears for thoughts of him but the richness he brought to all he knew and loved. Let memories of the times you shared and he provided give you and your family comfort for his life which was so rich because of the two of you.
Our prayers are with you,
Lisa & Steve Englander
