My contact with you was very brief that tragic morning, and no one that was there will ever be the same. We felt your pain, we felt your loss, we felt helpless. None of us know when, where or why these things happen. Its not up to us, just know in your heart that Zachary did not suffer and he is in a much better place. Thank you all that helped that day and thank you SLPD T.Potter for your compassion and attempts to help Zachary.

I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. I only have meet Dallas when he was young. Im sure he will miss his brother very much. It's sad that as a family we only seem to hear from one another once in a while,for weddings and funeral's. I hope you find comfort knowing that there is another purpose God has planned for your little one. Its just sad for you that he has to leave his family behind for another part of his spiritual advancement. You are in my heart and prayers, God bless you with comfort and peace in your loss.

Kathy and Nathan,

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of deep sorrow. We know what you are facing. We can't understand how we can get through these times of sadness, but by the grace of God we do. May you draw closer together to each other during this time and may you also grow closer in your relationship to God. He DOES hear us when we cry out. Remember, His son died too. The sky turned dark and the whole earth shook, with God's grief over His son. So who better to understand your heartbreak.

May the peace and love and strength of God surround you in this time and all the upcoming days.

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.
