Zachary Kroll

Was privileged to be at Beautiful Gate today to remember Zak and stand with friends and his cousin Emerson Kroll, and remember Zak. Such a beautiful memory of his time with us back in 2007.

God bless the Kroll family

How shocked and saddened I am to hear of the untimely passing of Zac. My thoughts, prayers and hugs go with Keith Lori and children and all other famy and friends who were close to Him. God be with you all in a way only He can.

I have no words :-(

RIP dear Zach

Our hearts ache for all of you who love this precious child of God. We pray you feel the same arms that hold him now also holding you. Sincerely Niki and Kevin Heil

He had a smile on his face everyday...he was so amazing

Keith and Lori, I weep with you and ask that you continue to look at the Cross . His love NEVER fails.

We never really understand the plans God has. We never really understand why bad things happen to good people like Zach. We do know that God always has a plan for everything that happens. He called one of his angels back home because he needed Zach to help continue the plan he has in store. It may not be the way we see it, but its the way God does, and God always knows why he does the things he does. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

"To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me. "

Condolences to the Kroll Family.

Love you lots Zach!

May You Live Eternity With God!

May you find peace in your memories & Gods' love.

Dear Family of Zachary Kroll I had the privilege to get to know your son over the past few years of high school and I have had the most amazing privilege to be able to call him my friend. He sat next to me a class and we would work on projects together and he always had an amazing attitude. I am deeply sorry for your loss and send my deepest sympathies to all of his family as well as any of his other friends that he had, as he will be deeply missed.
