Hey, Zach mongrel. I miss you so much. Happy Birthday, 33 years ago your mother and I saw you come into this world. Why can't you still be with us? I know that I will see you someday again. I was at the pole yesterday. I cleanded up and left you a Coors Light. I hung out with Brock today. He's doing so much better. I'm so proud of him.
I love you so much my Baby Boy.

ZCJ-
it has been 12 years today- 12 long learning and hard yet rewarding years. sometimes in the midst of my emotions when i go through things i speak directly to you and feel this huge sense of relief, like you saying LC you've got this. there have been so many times that I just want talk to you- i talk about you all the time. every year this day never gets easier, its just a hard day filled with thoughts of you! I just miss you. I hope you are at peace- i hope that life up there is all you could ever imagine. I hope you know just how much i miss and love you!

I Love You.
I will never stop missing you. Never stop sharing you with others. YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. I'LL NEVER QUIT!

Zach, today, I sit, and think of you. Thursday marks the the 7th year of your passing.There's not a day that passes that I don't think of my Boo.
I remember that day as today. You and Rayce came up. You went into Myles room jumped upon his bed, laughing and saying, Myles, give me a kiss before you go to school!" Myles just rolled over, as if to say leave me alone.
You and Rayce then waited for Myron and Marlon to get ready.
After they got ready you guys left,however before you guys left, you came to me, hugged me and said, "Love Ya Pops, see you later!" Then Rayce did the same. My Lil bone heads just said see ya Pops.
Not two minutes later, I got a call from Marlon, telling me you and Rayce had been in a crash, and it was bad. I could tell by the tone of his voice it had to be bad.
I asked where are you guys, and he told me, I dropped everything in a panic to get to you guys.
When I got there, couldn't get to you because driver door was blocked, however, was able to get to passenger door. There, I saw Rayce, who was in shock. He said to me, "Pops, my ear hurts and I can't hear Zach. I comforted him as much as I could. I could see you, trapped in your seat belt and I could do nothing. I watched as Myron and Marlon were in a panic and crying. They never left you guys from the scene to the hospital. That's true friendship. Be that, as it may, the rest is history, However, that was the worst day of this old man's life and I continually think of you and you, and that day will always be embedded in my mind. Love you, Boo, R.I.P. I know you're watching over all of us.

Theres not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and daydream about the kind of man you would be today. what you would be doing. who your friends would be.....sometimes it makes me cry but at other times it makes me smile..... I guess what i'm learning is that it never gets better it just changes.... what I would give just to hear your laugh one more time....hear you say "Mom I love you, your a geek"....you taught me what unconditional love was.... I love you my faraway angel.

Hey Zachary,
I'm on my way to talk to you. Five years and it's not any easier. I miss you more as time goes by. It's just not right. You should be here with everyone that loves and misses you. I can't wait until the day that I see you again.
I Love You,

Zach, I've been thinking so much about you this year. I went through so many changes and I just wonder what it would have been like if you were here. I miss you beyond words. I try not to be too vocal about how much i miss you and love you, but internalizing it is way too hard. It'll be five years this month. Everyone always says it'll get easier and the pain will drift, but every now and then I am crippled with the thought of you being gone. Even when I am happy and having fun I always cherish it because I know you deserve to have lived out your life. I know God is with you and that's the only reason why I am not dying from loss everyday. I realize you are so much happier and I'm almost jealous you get to kick it with Jesus everyday. So by the time I get up there you better hang out because I'm ready to catch up and celebrate the years we have lost.
I love you,
B

ZCJ MY NUMBER ONE- I MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EACH DAY THAT PASSES. LIFE DOES NOT GET EASIER WITHOUT YOU. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME TO MOVE ON OR MOVE FORWARD BUT IT SEEMS PRETTY CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR HANDSOME FACE, I WILL NEVER FORGET THE WAY YOU HUG, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR AMAZING WORDS AND SMILE THAT COULD ALWAYS BRIGHTEN MY DAY. NO ONE HAS TAKEN YOUR PLACE, AND NO ONE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO. YOU ARE MY NIGHT AND SHINING ARMOR. WHERE ARE YOU? I WISH I HAD MORE TIME WITH YOU, TO JUST GO FOR ONE OF OUR DRIVES AND TALK FOR HOURS. I AM LOST WITHOUT YOU. I AM HAVING A HORRIBLE DAY, I CAN NOT SLEEP, AND THE ONLY PERSON I WANT TO CALL AND ASK TO COME OVER AND SIT IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH ME, IS YOU. WHY ARE YOU NOT ANSWERING? ZCJ..

my faraway angel, everyday is still hard for me. I know your not coming back but i keep your room ready anyway. I know that doesn't make me look like i have all my marbles but i know you understand. i sing songs in the bathroom while i am blowing my hair dry and always expect to actually hear the real song when i turn the blower off, and you chiming"Mom thats what the real song sounds like" lol. I miss you soooooooooooooo much, everyone says it will get easier, but WHEN? I keep waiting....but not yet. I love you more than my words can express.

I know now though that I have a perminant angel. You are forever in my heart z. I love you zachyy best cousin ever!

Today has been especially difficult for me. Yesterday I went to a funeral and all I could think about is losing you...all over again. Brit is having a hard time being at Steele Canyon because it reminds her of you. I told her she would make her own memories soon. Your Mom is struggling, along with Brock. I'm sure you watch us all and shake your head, wondering why we allow tears to continue to flow so freely, but that is just how special you are to us Zach. Nothing seems right without you here. Almost 3.5 years later and the tears will come at random times. Love you, Aunt Heather

Zach~You've been on my mind constantly! You came to me in a dream last night and it was so real that the realization that it was only a dream actually broke my heart this morning. I miss the little stuff~car rides, beach trips, family vacations. Brandon is graduating from SCHS on 6/3. The last graduation we went to would have been yours...only you weren't there. I hope that we can find happiness and laughter at this graduation. Nothing seems complete without you being here. I love you so much and miss you so much more. Watch over us Zach, we need you so much.

Hey Zach,
Haven't written in a long time. Damn i still miss you like no other! I remember march 20th 2007 like it was yesterday, the hurt and the light feeling still creeps over me bro. 'it doesnt get easier but i guess you learn how to hide your emotions better...eh who knows. As i get older, I can truly see why i looked up to you, you had a good head on your shoulders and i always have you in my mind. You make me want to achieve a little bit more each time. I love you cuz.

Zachary,
Hey Baby Boy, the only man on this planet that I know was smarter than me. Happy 19th anniversary of your birth. How I would give up anything and everything to have you here to celebrate this day with me, your brother, your mother, your grandparents, your aunt & uncle, your cousins, your step father and the thousands of other people that still and will forever feel the pain of the loss of the enrichment that you brought into the lives of each and every one of us. Not a day goes by that I don't talk to you. I know that I'm not the only one that talks to you everyday. I miss you so much. The pain never goes away. Hopefully, we all do learn to deal with it. It never gets easy. We just deal with it. I love you. Your soul will stay alive in the hearts of everyone that ever knew you. Because, to know you was, and is, to LOVE YOU!!!!!! Dammit, I miss you. I'll visit you at your pole today. We can talk then.
I LOVE YOU, ZACHARY,
Dad

Happy Birthday "Z" there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I drive by daily and each time I remember everything that happened on that day. Going to the cabin in Big Bear 1st week of Jan. It'll be the first time since all went. It'll bring back such fond memories. God, it seems so unfair.
Love and thinking of you always,

I thought of you with love today,but that is nothing new.I thought about you yesterday,and days before that too.I think of you in silence,I often speak your name; All I have now are memories,and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake,with which I will never part; God has you in his keep,I have you in my heart.It broke my heart to lose you.But you didn't go alone, For a part of me went with you the day God took you home....If I could have a lifetime wish,A dream that would come true,I'd pray to God with all my heart for Yesterday and You.A thousand words can't bring you back;I know because I've tried.And neither can a million tears;I know because I've cried.You left behind my broke heart and happy memories too.I never wanted memories,I only wanted you.

zach its me L, I moved to chico on the 13th of july! I came up here to go to school, Proud? Im not altogether sure what drew me to come all this way.. but i believe that it is beyond peaceful here! The trees are so green the people are so real. I left my family and my relationship back in San Diego and although i miss them, i feel that this is the best for me. Before i left i was shocked to see a number i didnt reconize pop up on my cell phone it was j. Gosh was it crazy to sit down and talk to him.. he got a degree and is now working downtown.. He has really came a long way! I talk to kyle walker almost every week and i try to stay in contact with nicki although our lives are crazzzy. She truly is my angel.. i remember all our times together, you loved her so damn much! Well today has been one of those days where i just feel you, I feel as though you give me the strenght to survive when i feel like giving up! Guess what! I quit the cancer!! :) i know you would be so proud to hear.. I havent even told your mama yet.. but i will as soon as she calls me back.. i just Called her 10 min ago! :) soo surgery went well, i have gained 6 pounds since i got the ladies.. so im hoping your mama is also happy about that! i think quiting smoking had something to do with the weight gain. I met a man today.. he told me that i looked as if i were missing something or someone.. I told him your story.. he told me about a church here in town.. so im going to go on sunday! I didnt know how much sorrow showed through on a person, but im beyond being sad.. i just down right miss you. I miss your laugh... your smart remarks.. your pictures, of nothing but yourself! :) but mostly i miss your friendship. I love you zachary and i will see you again by the grace of god.
Love and miss you dearly

Hey there sugar,
--good morning.
Sorry i havent written in a while.. i guess when it comes to you i usually talk to god, but this morning your all i can think about-- so hello.
You know, i know your here! With all the stuff that is going on with me.. i can feel you. I have Surgery next week.. im sure you know, i talk to you everynight. Your mom isnt too happy about it haha, she wants me to wait until i gain weight but that is near impossible, so nows the time. I need to go see her.. when i start to feel down about you not being here shes the only one who can truly make me feel like its going to be okay & in my heart i know it will. Call me crazy but when im in your room your light flickers.. now when i drive my car i always catch street lights going out, and right outside my apartment there stands the ONLY light that flickers in my whole complex. You know, tony and i are fixing things.. i always believed you sent him to me, because the day after you passed i met him! He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. && for that i thank you. I really miss you Z and love you very much
until we meet again
Rest in paradise baby boy.

Brittany and I just came back from the site and I feel as sad and devastated today as I did 2 years ago. We miss you so much that it hurts to think about you sometimes. Please continue to watch over your friends and family. I know you are smiling down on us all the time. By the way, Brittany said you continue to knock to let her know you are here. Thank you for watching over her especially. I love you.

Z.....
I looked at my clock and it said 11:27, and it made me think of you. I miss you so bad. I find myself wondering where you'd be going to college right now..... How often I [and everyone else, hahaha] would be telling you to get yourself home for a visit, if you were off somewhere else. How many more beautiful memories we might have had.....
I just wish you were here, honey. So much is happening so fast.....
Then there's you, reminding me to slow down, love and cherish. Reminding me you're still keeping watch in my life, by getting me to look at my alarm clock at 11:27.
I love you so much. And I'll never stop loving you.

March 3, 2009
Zachy baby.....
I cannot even believe that it's been almost two years. It still hurts like it was only yesterday. And it still feels like just days ago that I was getting on your case about AP US History.
It still feels like just days ago that I couldn't stop asking God why.
But the thing is, Z..... You left us with so much. So much love, so many memories, so many beautiful moments. And I can't help but be more than grateful that I was even blessed enough to have known you.
I think your brother is getting along alright, though truth be told, I haven't talked to him in quite a long time. He probably wouldn't even remember me. Haha. And I'm praying for your mom, even though I know you're watching over her. You loved her more than life itself.
We all miss you like crazy, baby boy. I will always miss you.
With all the love in my heart.

BOBO: AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF I HAVENT SEEN U IN FOREVER. AND AT OTHER TIMES IT'S LIKE WE WERE JUST TOGETHER GETTING IN TROUBLE YESTERDAY. THE ONLY THING THAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT I MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EACH DAY. I DONT BELIEVE THAT IT WILL EVER GET EASIER. I KNOW THAT I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED THE SAME SINCE U LEFT. NO ONE IS ABLE TO BRIGHTEN UP A ROOM OR A MOMENT LIKE U ARE. UR JOKES AND OUR MEMORIES WILL BE PLASTERED TO ME FOREVER. I SEE YOU IN MY THOUGHTS, DREAMS, AND PRAYERS; AND CAN ONLY LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING YOU IN PERSON AGAIN. I LOVE YOU ZACHARY BOBO. WE ALL DO.

[Z] number one:: this life isn't the same without you. everyone has drifted apart, walked in different directions, everyone has slowly left each others side. i know you would never leave my side nor any other of your friends. you showed me what its like to truly care for someone and hold a real friendship. you showed me the light to life and the key to happiness. you have impacted my life in so many impossible ways. ever since you have been taken from us my heart has never been able to fully recover. i will never forget the text i got the night before, your words and your goodbye ment the world to me number one. you are still my best friend and always will be. i promise i will never let you down. i'm trying my hardest to do the right things and keep my head up. my tears fall for you. i love you. i miss you more than anyone will ever be able to understand. i can't wait to see you one day.

So both of our birthdays came and went..... It's always going to be hard this time of year. Just remembering how you would've been getting on me about how we were the same age for a day. You always made me smile, baby boy. I want to have you here again, to see you smiling, too.
And I couldn't help but feel some relief that your birthday landed on Thanksgiving [no matter how much you would've hated it, honey, I know]. It helped remind me that I needed to be thankful for the time that I did have you. It was hard though. I still miss you way too much.
It was too soon.
I love you so much, Zach.
November 28, 2008
[z] I hope you had a happy birthday love! I know in my heart you made it rain for your birthday and to remind everyone you are shinning down on us everyday making sure we make the right choices.

Happy Birthday Zach. Your passing has still left us empty and heartbroken. Nothing seems to fit anymore. Family time always seems harder without you. I dream about you all the time and wake to realize you are gone and it hurts all over again. We love you and celebrate you today. On Thanksgiving, we are all so thankful we were allowed to love you and that you always returned that love. XO Aunt Heather

Hey Baby Boy,
I can't time this message right on the dot, like you always did @ 12:00 on my birthday. I'm just warning you that I will call & listen to your voice & leave you a message. I'll be short; you know how much I miss you. Damn, I miss you so much. So many people miss you.
WHY?
Why did you have to leave all of us?
Happy 18th.
You behaved & earned the respect that great men deserve, long before you ever had the chance to legally become an adult. You set an example that others will always strive for.
You made this world a better place!
I MISS YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
You are MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having dinner early so your friends can come over around 7 to celebrate your 18th. You would have been so pissed that your b-day was on thanksgiving. I can't write anymore now.... i love you forever and always. xoxoxoxo mommy

Hey Zach,
i dont even know where to begin. its been way to long..i wore my [z] shirt to bed the other night and with your birthday next week iv been thinking about you everyday. i thought things were finally getting easier, and then i think about everyone coming home for thanksgiving and sharing there first semester in college..it kills me to think you wont be here sharing the same experiances with us. you may not be here in person but i feel your presence with me everyday. i miss you so much zach. there is no words to explain how hard the last year has been. after graduation everyone kinda went there own ways..you lose touch with some, and do your best to keep in touch with others. but we really need you to hold us all together. growing up and moving on in life just isnt the same without you here with us. i never stop thinking about you.
keep us safe just as you always did.
your always on my mind.
love and miss you dearly z.

Hey Zach.
I haven't done this in a long time..... Too long, I think.
Your birthday is coming up. Eighteen. You would have been an adult in a simple twelve days from now. Hahaha, my Zachy, an adult..... I miss you like crazy, honey. Just a couple nights ago, I was talking with a friend about old high school memories. And of course, I ended up talking about you. It broke my heart all over again. It still hurts so much to think about that day, and the long weeks that followed it..... Crying all the time, even at graduation. For weeks it was hard to walk into Ms.Maneevone's classroom without feeling like my heart was breaking inside of my chest. I haven't brought myself to visit that classroom ever since, either.
I love you, Zach. So much. So very, very much. And this hurt will never go away. But I'm staying positive.
Hugs&Kisses,
And all my love baby boy.

Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or
forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on.
Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when
I couldn’t stop the hurt. I never knew that something
so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that
I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having
my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between
a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so
small could make me feel so important and happy. Before
I was a Mom; I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love,
the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
I didn’t realize until my son was gone, all of the gifts that being his mom afforded me.

Since the death of my youngest child, I spend alot of time reflecting on not only myself but others around me. Sometimes, the pain is so overwhelming that I truly feel like I 'm gonna die myself.
I found myself actually questioning if I would have done things differently if I could have known what tragedy I would have to deal with. I thought maybe I would not have had my son Zach, because then I wouldn't have to feel the loss.
I ask "Why my son? " He was good boy , straight "A"s.
He was an "old soul". I always knew that.
16 years just isn't enough!
As parents, we sacrific everything, to help teach, and provide the best life we can for our children. And (good parents) don't mind, or don't even realize that they have sacrificed anything because of the pride and joy they get back from watching this person become an individual.
But, I can't help but feel soooooo cheated. I"ll never see him graduate, get married, become the best father, and son,and husband he could be. ... I didn't get my payout...
and then after buckets of tears, and the loudest most painful sounds coming from my chest, I stop and I realize... what a gift I was given, to be able to be his mom for 16 years.
so, my answer is, "if I had known how it was gonna turn out, would I have skipped it altogether.
NOOOOOOO. My god keep him and love him till the day I can be with my faraway angel. I will love you till the very last breath that I take.
MOM

Love you zach your one of the best cousins i could ask for
Love always Zachyyy

mann, i just felt like it was that time again to write out the feelings going through my head. It seems like death has a hold of Steel Canyon...you, devan and bianca. We still hurt Zachyy. You would be 18 in two months, and as for me, 3 months. At your graduation it felt so empty because we were all broken without you. You know how many people you impacted with that smile of yours? Ha HA and i'll admit, you ticked me off with your little charades at lunch throwing ketchup at me and Jared. But Zach, no matter what, you are missed to this day and forever. Please continue to watch over us and your family. We lovee you babyyy <33

You know when your growing up and your parents tell you "you can do anything if you just set your mind too it!!" Well for once im taking that statement seriously.. im gunna go down to the ROP office tomorrow and sign up to do hair, i know my mom doesnt really want me to do it.. but even if it doesnt go the way i plan in my life.. at least its something to fall back on.. anyways thats girly stuff!! ugh.. i feel horrible z, i missed nickis birthday... i guess i've just been so wrapped up into what ive been needing to do lately i totally forgot about someone who has never forgot about me!! Z i really hope you know how much she needs you in her life right now.. she misses you so much! -- we all do!!!
well i love you.. and its late.

Zachary,
Oh how I miss you.... There are not words to express the depth of my pain. Its an ache that won't go away!! Its always with me. I try to smile through it for others but, I suspect that I don't do it that well. Now my pain has become even worse, if thats even possible. Unfortunately, I now know things that I prayed I would not ever have to deal with. I talk with you every night in your room, I pray that you are listening. I feel like such a failure.. one child gone.... I can't go through this again. I love you my faraway angel.

Hey Zach-Been thinking of you so much. Feel like you are around us all the time. Wish we could see you. Many of your friends are starting college soon. Continue to watch over them as they face different challenges, being away from home, making decisions that can change their life in a blink of an eye. Continue to surround your Mom and brother. Both of them are still in so much pain and we don't know what to do to help them. Watch over your Dad too. I know he must feel so lost without you. Your Nan and Pops are getting through their days, but your passing has left such a hole in their hearts...you can see their sadness all the time. I continue to love and miss you every day.

Hey Sugar,
Day 3 of me writing you... for some reason i feel as though it helps me with everything! So thank you for that. Yesterday i quit my job, i just got so flustered.. so tierd, so fed up.. i just had to do it! I searched every where to find a job and i think i might have found one.. i thought i'd better hurry up and do that because a savings account only last's soo long ya know! Tony said everything will be okay and not to stress so thats what i've been doing.. i went to the beach today, layed out and just relaxed! I know i need to be doing something.. but everyone deserves a mental health day.. anyways i was watching the sky today and my mood suddenly changed! i was happy.. i was excited.. i was ready to start new! You are an amazing boy, you know that zachary.. i feel you here with me everyday! I talk to you everynight and my love for you will constantly grow.
i miss you

Hey sugar
I wrote you yesterday, but so much stuff is going on in my life, i decided to write you again.. last night i got off work and drove to my parents.. where i sat around a table with nothing but happy people.. i couldnt understand why i was so down and out! I realize that im not happy where i stand right now in life, but i should always keep smiling.. at least thats what you said. I then cleared off my plate and walked away! I remembered that day you picked me up from school and told me not to be sad about my previous relationship & to go on with my life because were young and stupid.. and most of us dont even know what we want.. that day we walked into t-shirt mart and you saw my face.. you gave me a hug told me to call nicki and we all went out to lunch.. at that moment i thought how lucky i am to have become so close with sucha genuine person! The day that you passed zach.. was one of the hardest things for me.. i thought to myself, how can god lead me to be so close with someone then just take him away from me and so many others with no intention of ever bringing him back. My mom says "stating that your mad is just an easy way for someone to cover that they're badly hurt".. i lost faith zach.. i lost all hope in god.. the 21st of march is my birthday and that year wasnt a birthday i wanted to celebrate.. you;ve only been gone a little over a year, but it seems like forever since i have seen your smile. But you know what Z.. im not mad anymore.. im thankful.. im thankful because god gave me the chance to have you here with me, even if it was a short time && yes i was angry.. i was angry because when i went to that crash site i couldnt believe what i found.. my plastic hair clip! could you believe that!! a PLASTiC HAiR CLiP!
the one i left on the bar above your head in the explore.. how can something so fragile not get broken but someone who was the strongest person i knew was taken from me that day.. i was angry because i knew from that day on the glue to our group was taken.. you matter so much to me z.. soo much, and i love you.
until next time.
stay peaceful baby boy.
missyou

Hey sugar.
So last night i thought long and hard about what i wanted to do with my life.. i'm having a hard time on deciding on what i want out of it, and then i remembered what you said "lauryn.. when your feeling down and out put on a tupac song then switch over to stand by rascal flatts, everything will be fine" so thats exactly what i did.. before i left work i listened.. and you know what Z it helped me. The songs had nothing to do with it, but knowing that your the one who showed me to calm down by relating to the music and dealing with what life has delt me. I was looking back at pictures a few days back and i ran into one from proctor valley.. you looked so happy.. so alive.. so zachary! your chubby little cheeks and your laughter is remembered in my everyday life. I think about dayna and brock everyday and wonder how they're so strong. You were truly an amazing person Z.. Thank you for everything you taught me.. i will never take one day for granted, and i promise i will never forget you.

Hi Zach. Well, I went to what would have been your graduation and it has taken me this long to talk to you about it. The whole night, even though I knew you couldn't be there, I kept thinking I saw you, sometimes in cap and gown, sometimes in the crowd. Other than the hospital and Memorial service, watching your class graduate was one of the most heart wrenching things we have had to do. But, it closes your high school chapter and allows us to know that your time at Steele would have now been finished. Not having you around for this year and part of last year was so hard since I always knew you would look out for Brandon while attending the high school. Now, he really is on his own and it has been so hard. Your Mom sat with dignity as they remembered you at graduation but she was so broken inside. Does this pain ever get any better? Connor Hanten did a great job and you would have loved his speech. I love and miss you Zach. I hope you are at peace. XO Aunt Heather

So you would have graduated last night..... You'd probably be celebrating at Disneyland right now. The concept sort of opens up the wounds and makes them fresh again. Makes me wish I could have seen you graduate last night. But instead I'm reminded of that day..... Literally falling to the floor against the cabinets in theater, crying before I even hit the ground. Having held the hope that it wasn't as bad as they were saying it was, and having those hopes slashed in two. Having my heart slashed in two.
It was one of the hardest days of my eighteen years of life, and it just won't go away. Ever.
But I hold onto the hope that you are doing well, in heaven. I love you so much, Zach.

Well Zach, tonight you would have been graduating with the Class of 2008 from Steele Canyon High School. Your family will be there and watch as one of your childhood friends and fellow senior, Justin Johnson accepts YOUR diploma. Although there is not a day you are not with us in our minds, today I find myself wondering what might have been? I know that whatever your choice would have been, you would have succeeded. We still miss you with an undescribable pain but know that that smile of yours will be looking down on us tonight.
I'll thank God for every moment I had with you while you were with us.
Your "papa"

Zach, I know you have already welcomed Bianca into heaven, but hearing of another Cougar having her life taken so soon has opened every wound I thought was healing. I keep thinking of her family and how devastated they are and they are preparing for a Memorial Service that they shouldn't have to deal with. The kids at Steele Canyon are having to face death again, saying goodbye to another friend. Seems like each year, at least one student is taken from us. I thought I was starting to really live again until the news of Bianca's death. Now, I can't help but think constantly of you and how much the pain still hurts. I think of her whole family. I didn't know Bianca, but I feel like we all know her because her family is going through the same hell we went through. Zach, be present on Mother's Day, in some way, to let your Mom and Nana know you are still here. This is going to be tough. We love you so much. XO Aunt Heather

Zach, one year and the pain is still fresh. One year and I remember each part of that horrible day...the moment the phone rang and Nana was so upset saying you had been in a horrible accident, to rushing to Grossmont Hospital only to be told they were taking you to Trauma at Sharp. I still feel and remember the moment the nurse said they were trying so hard to pump life into you and the moment she came in and told us you were gone. Your family has been so devastated but our love for you has never lessened. You had such a light that brightened so many dark places. We miss you baby boy and will never forget your smile. Know that you left the world too soon but that you are resting in the arms of the ultimate Angel, probably trying to tell him how to run the place. I love you Zach, Aunt Heather

March 20, 2008
wow one whole year today..i still remember that horrible day it was third block and we all got the news that you and rayce had gotten into a car accident and rayce had neck problems and you were on life support. during that same period we found out you left us. That day will never be forgtotton and niether will you ZACH. tears were unstoppable and then a thunderstorm hit, its like the world was crying for you..miss you always and forever
RIP ZACH

Today marks the anniversary of the worst day of our lives. Zach, it seems like yesterday we were rushing to the hospital hoping and praying that the news of your accident was being exaggerated and that we would find you banged up and scared, but okay. Today, we still try and piece together why you were taken from us. Today, we still feel such sorrow and such pain from your passing. We still mourn your death Zach. Just know that you will never be forgotten and we will never be okay with what has happened. We all go on living but with the knowledge that without you, life has lost a huge spark. You touched so many and we are thankful to have had you in our lives for the 16 years, three months and three weeks we had you. I continue to love you so much and miss you so much. All my love Zach, Aunt Heather

Oh man..... A whole year. I just..... Can't believe it. It's insane to me that it's been this long already. It feels like so short a time ago that I was standing in the quad, hoping against hope that the nightmarish existence I had become acquainted with so quickly would disappear. That one morning you would walk into Ms. Maneevone's classroom, smiling. Alas, my wishes and hopes for that matter evade me.....
I can't promise that today will be easy. That I won't cry with a fury like Hell hath no. That I won't cling onto remembrances and attempt to shed every unpleasant emotion in bitter tears..... But I can promise one thing. This marker will be the first of many, I'm sure, and with each I'll be a little stronger for you Zachy. Just a little. As each birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, anniversary goes by.....
Expect to hear from me a lot today. Half of it may be completely obscure and incoherent, but I'm sure God will translate if need be, hun. And I expect that I'll be able to feel you- like I have so many times before- your spirit, your presence..... and your love. The tears won't go easily. But go they will.
I love you so much, Zachy. And I miss you something terrible.
Love, Stacey
PS: say hello to my Aunt Terri, would you? She joined you about a month ago. I'd really appeciate it.
