I have many fond memories of the whole Robertson family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Wishing you God's peace.

Woops, I think I just sent a blank entry. Anyway, Zac I miss you soooooooo much. You are simply irreplaceable, I don't know if you ever realized how much you are loved. To hear people talk about you, and all the funny stories touches my heart. Usually I won't even begin to tell people all our stories from growing up, it could take days. I am sorry to say I still struggle in dealing with the fact that my brother and you died, within months of each other on top of it. Jason has defintely helped a lot, I kinda try to follow his lead(you know Jason) I am learning to cope. I love you and I wish things weren't this way. Thanks for helping us move(back in 96) and also you and Adam have shown me that life can be short and to enjoy my time while I'm here, as you both did. Just wanted to get that out, I'm trying not to hold anything in anymore, it only prolongs relief. Tell Adam that I love him too.

Spanky, Mary Ellen, J, Drew and Gina,

As I write this it's hard to hold back the tears. I found out several hours ago about the passing of Zach. I cannot even ezpress in words the sadness I feel for you.

I can still remember playing baseball at Concordia. Zach (at 10) would hit those tennis balls over the fence, across the street - and hit the apartment building which was probably 225 feet away. He would round the bases with that "Lets see you do that!!!" grin on his face :), knowing most of us couldn't.

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm in shock right now.

Rest in Peace
