Message | It is hard to have Zac gone. Everything reminds me of him. Buses, Hondas, backpacks, people walking, clean rooms, messy rooms, cooking, ice makers, his brothers and sisters, his nephews and neices, his grandad, dogs, songs I listen to, songs I sing, computers, camping, hot days, cold days, and lots more. I just miss him so much! |

Message | Our thoughts have turned to Zac many times over these past Holidays. Our prayers are for those that feel the pain of him not being here. Our constant prayer is that his life will have impacted those he knew for the glory of God. May your heart be open to the truth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. |

Message | Miss you. It doesn't really feel like Thanksgiving without you being a part of it. I wish you were here and I know wherever you are, you are missing us too. I'll always treasure last year's memories when we had you all to ourselves all day on Thanksgiving. We watched movies and you took home all the leftovers. You are always in my heart. I love you so much. |

Message | Viewing Larry's comments made me so happy that his grandfather got to be large part of Zac's recent life. Zac's grandparents on my side, my mother and father, had been married 61 years before my dad's passing in 2003. Though they were gone by his adult life, they got to be a part of Zac's youth. Recently, on Thanksgiving days Zac and I would cherish our shared memory of my mother's cooking, as we both liked to cook as well. It was fun for me when Zac would arrive early and join us in preparing the big meal. On this Thanskgiving day, being one of Zac's favorite holidays, I must admit how grateful I am to have had him in my life 27 years, and for all the other loved ones past and present in my life, too. All month I have been thinking 'how am I going to get beyond missing him so much on Thanksgiving day'. My mother and father had a child who passed away, before I was born. How sad they too must have been, yet they went on together another 53 years, and gave me a blissful childhood in the process. I don't know how they did it, but tomorrow I owe it to my son Zac to hold him in my heart, yet be 100% present when I share his favorite holiday with the ones (he and) I love. |

Message | We finally received a report from the medical examiner and wanted to share the results. It was determined that Zac died of an accidental overdose of the oxycodone he had been perscribed by a doctor for pain. Many people are unaware of just how dangerous this drug is. The website www.oxykills.com is full of young people in their twenties who have died because of overuse (accidental or on purpose) of this drug. It apparently suppresses the respiratory system. People go to sleep, stop breathing, and never wake up. |
