To The Rohloff Family-
I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and sadness that your family is experiencing now. I hope and pray that you all will find strength not only from God, but from the out pouring of Family, Friends and even many caring people in the community that didn't even know Alex and Zach.
I was lucky enough to know Alex through my neice Emily. He was such a nice, polite and caring young man. Our Family loved him very much and it was a pleasure to have him in our lives. One of the best memories I have of Alex was when He and Emily went to her Junior Prom in May. I was there when he walked out of the house, in his Tux. He was so handsome and he was just gleaming and so Proud to be going to the Prom that day. That was the last time I saw Alex. I will Always remember that day.
May you always treasure the memories that you and your Family shared and may the memories bring you comfort in the days and years to come.

To the family of Zach and Alex

While we did not know Alex, Zach has been to our house and from the moment he walked in until the time he left, his smile lit up our home and made us laugh. He was a good friend to our daughter Brianna and this tragedy has left a large void in her life as we are sure it has all of Zach and Alex's friends and family. May their memories comfort you and bring you peace.

June 28, 2009

Zach, i cant belive your gone. Its so hard going from seeing you everyday.. to not seeing you at all. im going to miss you so much. you always knew how to make me and everyone around you smile. everyday i will look at the picture of you on my wall and remeber how great of a person you are.

To Emily Mohr,
I want to express to you how very sorry I am for your pain and the tragic loss of your dear Alex. It seems that Alex was a very large part of your life and this loss for you I am sure is very very painful and hard to understand. You are way too young to feel this kind of pain on loosing someone you truly loved. My wish for you is that God will give you the strength you will need for the upcoming days. I am Ian Dugan's grandma and I know the pain that he is feeling. May God bless you at this time and keep you safe.

Alex was a very good friend to my son Nick. I always thought Alex would be a great manager for Nick when He made it big! He was always smiling and was friends with everyone. He will be missed by his friends and remembered. My heart breaks for the family and friends left behind to grieve. Try to remember that the boys were together, they were happy, doing something they loved and they were having fun. They were well liked by all that knew them and you should be very proud of your boys. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sadness.

June 27, 2009

No matter how much time passes Zach and Alex will never leave our minds. These boys meant so much to so many people. Their simple but amazing personalities really knew how to make a person smile.
Zach, you were sucha wonderful friend and im going to miss you so much, nothing will be the same.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Rohloff family.
Rest in peace boys, you'll never be forgotten. <333

Kathy Kohler, to my Best friend of more than thirty plus years. We each have one daughter Terry and Tracy whom each have three boys. Nobody knows and will ever know the endless days and nights you and I have spent over the years hoping nothing like this would ever happen and how scared we were for our own children Terry and Tracy. Only a true Mom has those worries. I can't be close in body to you Kathy due to a 3,000 mile distance. However my heart and spirit will be with both you and Terry forever. I am so sorry. I will talk to you everyday as we always do forever. No one person in this world deserves a loss of these angels that Terry gave birth to. Kathy, I love you and will always be here for you. Your Best friend, Elizabeth

R.I.P Alex and Zach
There are no words that could possibly express the feelings that I felt not only for Alex but for Zach as well. Throught the 3 years that Alex and I dated he showed me what true love really was. He was always extremely polite and i as everyone else loved his crazy, outgoing yet soft personality. He could always make me laugh and knew the right thing to say in any situation.From spending so many undescribable times and memories with my baby we learned so much about eachother. we knew eachother like the back of our hands, which for a highschool relationship is unique. he was they type of person that any girl would dream of dating or any parent would be so proud to have.The kind respect and unconditional love that alex constantly shelled out to those he cared about was just amazing.I loved how he could be so goofy but yet at the same time so mature.He will always hold the bigest peice of my heart and his beautiful face and unforgatable smile will always reflect within my memories. I love you with my whole heart always and forever like we always promised eachother. and absolutely no one could ever take your place or make me feel they million different ways that you could.
Zach was probably one of the funniest kids i have ever met.I loved just hanging out with him and alex, the both of them together always met you were doing something crazy and absolutely never bored in their presence.I dont think i ever saw a frown on the many faces he could make.Both zach and alex could build/fix things with any type of material they were provided with. they loved being outside and just getting dirty. I will never forget a single moment i have spent with alex and zach. Words cannot even sum up the undescribable personality and lives that they lived. Both will forever be in my heart. and i will ALWAYS love you baby <3.
I miss you both so much and though you are not here physically i know you are watching over your family and loved ones.
Rest in peice Alexander and Zachary Rohloff

To Zach and Alex's Family,
No words can express the deep sympathy which I feel for you on the tragic loss of your boys. There can be no sense made of this and your pain has to be unbearable at this time. My grand son is Ian Dugan, and I know that he and Zach were best buddies. I know that he is suffering the loss of Zach. May you all find some peace and comfort in the days ahead and always remember how much love and happiness that these boys shared with their friends. I didn't get to meet them, but from all that I heard from Ian, and his Mom and Dad, he was a very special boy. My thoughs and prayers are with you all at this time. God Bless You All.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

To Zach and Alex's family;

I worked in Hoosic Valley for many many years. One thing I appreciated about your wonderful boys was how courteous and charming they both were to our staff. They always had the time and a smile for those of us in the lunch area and were sweet young men. For me personally Zach and Alex always asked about Jen and her sports, taking an interest in where she was going with that.
During your time of unspeakable pain, I am thinking of your family and sending my prayers to you.

I had the pleasure of teaching Alex last year at Columbia. He was a great addition to my class and always had something positive to contribute or a story to share. When he moved to Guilderland I would run into him frequently at Corner Ice Cream. Although I wasn't his teacher anymore, he was always polite and courteous and would take the time to stop and catch up with me. Usually teachers make an impact on students, but in this case he made an impact on me. I'm sorry for your loss and you and your family are in my prayers.

To all the families of Alex and Zach:
Whether you are Alex and Zach’s - Dad, Mom, Step-parent, Brother, Sister, Grandmother or Grandfather- this loss you have suffered is unbearable. Just know that you are not alone - there is an overwhelming sense of loss from your community and surrounding areas. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.. One day at a time, will lead to one less tear. You have 17 years of fond memories to hold the boys in your hearts forever; they will always be with you. No parent ever should go through the pain and anguish you have endured. As I read the stories people have shared – I find myself feeling your pain, shedding those tears right beside you. May God give you the strength to get through the toughest days ahead.

Heartfelt sympathies to you & the friends of Alex & Zach:

“Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Loves leaves a memory
No one can steal
******************************
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget
