Kris, Gary, Girls & Jaquie….. there are no words that will console such a deep and tragic loss. Zach came along when we were near and dear friends and I remember the sweet little boy he was. I hope that you find comfort in the happy memories and through the support of each other, as you navigate this inconceivable loss. My deep condolences and prayers for all of you.  Xo - Sue (Sobie)

So very painful this loss  is for all who love Zach. I have never met Zach, and look forward to meeting him one day. I know Zach must be a wonderful soul because his mother, Kristine is my best friend and she has the most beautiful spirit. His spirit lives on. All will meet again. I pray this brings some comfort at this very difficult time. What a very beautiful video to celebrate his life.

Zacharias was an amazing man who loved all.  Surprisingly loving since he did not get love from his mother,  which he longed for.  You, Zach, were so loved and you had more love given to you that your bio mom could have ever tried to...but did not exceed.   May you find what you need.  I love you so much Zacharias.  I miss you so much. ❤
