I did not have the pleasure to know your son Zachary but from all of the people whom signed the guest book told of a wonderful, loving, fun loving young man. How blessed you were to have had him in your lives. The Good Lord called both my sons back home and I know in my heart I will see them again. It is the comfort of all who love us and the memories of those we love and that loved us and have passed that will always get us through. God and Jesus Christ has never failed us. They will get each of you through this sorrow and pain. There is light at the end of this dark tunnel. God's light and love.
God bless each of you, through Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
