Dear Jamie and Tom:
My heart is breaking for you and at the same time I am smiling thinking of our walks through Riverlea, the first snow and visits to the zoo with our inquisitive little men. Hold tight to the good stuff! You are in my prayers.
Love,

I clearly remember Zach even back in the third grade when we would write scary stories, even though we never got past the first page. I remember he had legos under his bed and dinosaur wallpaper lining. He was a blessing to know, and a great person. I shall be praying for you.

Jamie,

I am deeply saddened to hear the news and can't begin to express my thoughts. I can't imagine what you are going through. Being a parent is one of the toughest and most rewarding things in life. You are thankful for every moment you have with your children whether those moments are good or bad. During this difficult time, I hope you and your family focus on the good and keep those memories close to your hearts while you learn to live with your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Winsome

Jamie and Tom,

I am so sorry to learn of Zachary's death. There are no adequate words of comfort to a parent at such a time, as I witnessed the agony my own parents shared when my brother died unexpectedly when he was 19 years old. Kevin and I shared our sadness for you over the phone just last night, recalling when we first saw your son as a beautiful baby.

God bless you both,

Zach was one of the most amazing friends I have ever had. Although we weren't as close as we had been in the past, he was always there when I needed him. He always knew how to make me smile. Zach will be truly missed.

My prayers are with the family and friends of Zachary. It is hard to put into words the deep sadness that I feel for those who were in Zachary's life. I pray you can find the strength to allow his untimely passing to pull you together as one.
In college. I was a teammate and club brother of his father 'Tommy'. I will forever be his friend.
