He was the first man I ever fell in love with. It wasnt just puppy love I'll never get over you I'll never not cry everyday I'll never forget you. I'm so sorry I was too late. I wish I could've died with you. Zach time heals nothing all that will help is seeing you again one day I love you and wish I could've loved you how you deserved . I still have every picture, but it sucks cause I don't have you...your sweet voice I have still and I don't like the big man upstairs anymore but I'd do whatever he asked to see you again.

although we weren´t the closest siblings , you always reached out when you knew something was wrong. always making inappropriate jokes to lighten the room, which it did. in my eyes you were and still are the strongest person i know. you fought so hard with everything in you and if i had the resources i would´ve done anything to prevent us from losing you. i love you big brother not a day goes by that we don´t remember and rejoice your name and memory. you brought a special unforgettable energy to our family that we´ll forever cherish in the memories you left us with. - ur fav big sister from below

Lauri, I am so very sorry for your incredible loss. I remember Zachary when he was just a little guy, he looked so much like you, and I know how much you adored him. There are no words that can make this better. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family - sending hugs and asking God to keep you in His care during this most difficult time. Love, Lynn (V).

Honestly, i don't even know what to say. I am heartbroken for you. Zach was such a sweet boy. It seems like just yesterday when I was picking him and the girls up from daycare at Miss Sue's...... I love you Zach, always have and always will! Aunt Lynn
