Stuart Lee Zmolek

A supernova has gone and left a black hole in our hearts. I will miss Stuart's beautiful blue eyes and the sparkle that only shined in his. It betrayed a wealth of wisdom, knowledge and intrinsic joy that no one else has shown. My daughters were so blessed to grow up knowing Stuart. He was just Stuart, one of us, a little different but ours. Sometimes he would shout out in church and my girls would say with joy...Stuart's here!

I learned so much by watching Lee and Mary show patience and deep love for Stuart. Stuart taught me to slow down and appreciate little joys in life. He broadened my understanding of autism and for that I am grateful.
