I returned to KC for a visit after 20 years, and am shocked to read this obituary! Zach uncle had a heart of gold, and I'm glad I got to know him. Mariamma and the boys- my condolences...

Dear Mary, please accept my sincerest condolences for the passing of Zach. Jesus said that death is merely a state of sleeping and that one day he will call and they will awaken to a wonderful life and rejoin family (Jo. 5:28,29). May you find peace and comfort during this difficult period. AHJr
