My darling son, life seems so empty without you in it. You brought so much life into our family. I loved you stopping by for lunch, playing with your brothers and asking David for advice. My heart is broken. I miss you so. I know you are in a better place. You lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives. Thank you for being my son and please save a place in Heaven for me.



Guests - Thank you all for your wonderful notes of love and encouragement. You don't realize how much love people give to you until you lose a loved one. Zach and I were very close and he was one of my greatest joys in life. He was a wonderful young man with many friends and acquaintances. Thank you all for the care you have shown and please don't forget to let your children or family how much they mean to you and give them a hug and kiss every chance you get. (Zach's Mom) - Charlotte Bremermann

My son is a student at STM and I am a student at UNO. I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like to lose a child. I know there are no words that can heal the pain you feel, any attempt at condolence falls weakly to the ground. When the time for mourning is over, celebrate Zachary's life. Let him live again through your memories and words. His body may be gone but his spirit is still with you and inside of you.



My son, Jeremy, and I will be remembering Zachary in our prayers and meditations.

My sincere condolences for your loss. Losing a son is extremely heartbreaking. My prayers for your family included peace and understanding of God's will.

I also lost my boy, Hiram John Greer, on December 11, 2004 to a motorcycle accident. He also was a senior at UNO. I understand your grief. May God be with you at this terrible time.

Charlotte,

I am deeply saddened to hear about Zach. I can remember taking his picture for his first lemonade stand at your old fish bowl house in Old Metairie and taking him with us (the girls) to all of those haunted houses. He was a wonderful young man. I have always cherished the memories I have of you and your family and have kept them close to my heart. I hope the memories of his life will give you comfort as time moves forward. With much love and sympathy.
