God shall wipe all tears from their eyes;

and there shall be no more death,

nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:

for the former things are passed away.

-Revelation 21:4

"Those who hope in the Lord will

renew their strength, they will

soar on wings like eagles"

Isaiah 40:31

"Be joyful always; pray

continually,'give thanks in all

circumstances . For this is God's

will for you in Christ Jesus."

I Thessalonians 5:16-18

"Tears water our





growth"

William Shakespeare

"Happy are those who fear the

Lord. .....Yes, happy are those

who delight in doing what HE

commands".....Ps 112:1

What though the radiance which was once so

bright

Be now forever taken from my sight.

Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower,

We will grieve not, rather find

Strength in what remains behind;

In primal sympathy

Which having been must ever be;

In the soothing thoughts that spring

Out of human suffering;

In the faith that looks through death,

In years that bring the philosophic mind.

-William Wordsworth-

EVERYDAY WITH ZACH 

IT WAS HIS MOTTO,

"GAS-ON.....FEAR-OFF!"

There was only one love for Zach other than the Lord and of course, lol, his motorcycle...his babygirl Kristi. They left footprints on each other's hearts forever....<3

For we are God's workmanship, 

created in 

Christ Jesus to do good works, 

which God 

prepared in advance for us to do

...Ephesians 2:10

Thank you so much Beverly...you are so thoughful. <3

"My thoughts are completely 

different than yours," 

says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond 

anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens 

are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher 

than your ways and my thoughts higher than your 

thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9





It’s very sobering the tests put before us that God uses to 

build our character and ready us for our homegoing.. God 

gives us no more than we can handle is often heard but 

seldom understood. Sometimes, the challenges put 

before 

us God blesses us in these trials with wisdom and 

knowledge for His purposes and glory but escapes us as 

our understanding is never easy of His way But, listening 

to 

His voice will guide us. It is awe inspiring to realize His 

voice and more rewarding when we accomplish the goal 

He has set How wonderful it is for a parent to see his child 

excel and accept the circumstances put before him taking 

from it only the good intended in the lesson whilst not losing our faith in Him. 

Zachie's death has taught me many things in life are just 

not important that my focus should stay with my eyes 

towards the sky.

THIS SITE IS A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE 

NOT ONLY HERE, WHICH WAS SHORT IN 

TIME AS WE KNOW IT BUT, IN THE 

AFTERLIFE OF ALL ETERNITY WITH OUR 

FATHER IN HEAVEN.

Then he told his disciples;

"GO INTO THE WORLD  AND  PROCLAIM THE 

GOOD NEWS TO ALL CREATION." Mark 16:15




IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE GRACE AND 

MERCY OF OUR FATHER, WE WOULD NEVER 

BE REUNITED WITH OUR LOVED ONES EVER 

AGAIN, AS WELL AS BE IN THE PRESENCE 

OF OUR FATHER AND HIS SON, WHO GAVE 

HIS LIFE SO WE MAY BE WITH THEM FOR 

ALL ETERNITY. WE HAVE TO HAVE FAITH 

IN GOD'S WORDS AS HE GAVE TO US AND 

SO THE STORY GOES...

Just In Case You Ever Wonder 

by

Max Lucado

Long, long ago God made a decision- a very 

important decision.... one that I'm really glad 

He made. He made the decision to make you.

The same hands that made the stars made you. 

The same hands that made the canyons made 

you. The same hands that made the trees and 

the moon and the sun made you. That's why 

you are so special. God made you.


He made you in a very special way. He made 

your eyes so they would twinkle. 

He made your mouth so you could smile. He 

made your laugh so you could giggle. 

God made you like no one else.


If you looked all over the world - - in every city 

in every house -  there would be no one else like 

you... no one with your eyes, no one with your 

mouth, no one with your laugh. You are very, 

very special.


And since you are so special, God wanted to 

put you in just the right home... where you 

would be warm when it's cold, where you'd be 

safe when you're afraid, where you'd have fun 

and learn about heaven. So, 

after lots of looking 

around for just the right family, 

God sent you to me. And I'm so glad He did.


I'll never forget the first time I saw you...your 

eyes were closed, your fingers were curled in 

two little fists, your cheeks were puffy and 

round. I knew in my heart God had sent 

someone very wonderful for me to take care of.


Your first night with me I heard every sound 

you made. I heard you gurgle, 

I heard you sniff, 

I heard your little lips smack. I heard you cry 

when you wanted to eat, and I fed you.


You're bigger now and do more things. 

You can walk and run. You can play and talk. 

You can eat and sing and look at books. You're 

not a little baby any more.


But as you grow and change, some things will 

stay the same. I'll always love you. I'll always 

hug you. I'll always be on your side.

 And I want you to know that...

just in case you ever wonder.


Remember I'm here for you. On dark nights 

when you hear noises in your closet, call me. 

When you see monsters in the shadows, call me. 

On hard days when kids are mean and don't 

treat you like they should, come to me.


If your grades are bad and your teacher is 

mad, come to me...'cause I love you. And I 

always will, just in case you ever wonder.


Most of all, I'll be here to teach you about God. 

He loves you. He protects you. He and His 

angels are always watching over you.


And God wants me to make sure you know 

about heaven. It's a wonderful place. There are 

no tears there. No monsters. No mean people.


You never have to say "good-bye," or "good 

night" or "I'm hungry." You never get 

cold or sick or afraid.


In heaven you are so close to God that He will 

hug you, just like I hug you. It's going to be 

wonderful. I will be there, too. I promise. We 

will be there together, forever. Remember 

that... just in case you ever wonder.

There are secret things that belong to the 

Lord our God, but the revealed things belong 

to us and our descendents forever, so that we 

may obey these words of the law. Deu 29:29





 

     

AND WE KNOW THAT GOD CAUSES 

EVERYTHING TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE 

GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE 

CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PUROSE FOR 

THEM.....ROMANS 8:28

ZACHARY DANIEL

"THANKS FOR BEING IN MY DASH"

There is time for everything, a season for very 

activity under heaven. A time to be born a time 

to die. A time to plant a time to harvest. A time 

to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down 

and a time to rebuild. A time to cry and a time to 

laugh. a time to grieve and a time to dance. A 

time to scatter stones and a time to gather 

stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn 

away. A time to search and a time to lose. A time 

to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear 

and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a 

time to speak up. A time to love and a time to 

hate. A time for war and a time for peace..... 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
















"THERE IS NO GREATER

 
PAIN THAN THE

 
LOSS OF A CHILD"

"Thanks Rosemary!" Zachie would love this.

This was from a card handed to me by a 

classmate of Zach's that I read during his 

eulogy.

Zachie's ....Self-Portrait.... LOL!

These trees were planted in memory of Zach 

at 

one of the National Forests.




"ZACH'S TREES OF LIFE"

"OUR LOVE LASTS FOREVER"

thank you Joan

Zachary had a very rough start but, he came 

through with flying colors coming home to us 

17 days after he was born. He was a fighter!

This is a picture Zachie drew of the two

of us when

he was into his Ninja Turtle days.

 "A MOTHER'S LOVE

IS UNCONDITIONAL

FOREVER AND ALWAYS"

 





"ZACHIE'S BLANKET OF

 LOVE AND WARMTH"

"Thanks" to my own Mother for your

persistance and love

I'll always be grateful.

In ZACHIE'S HONOR

"THIS LITTLE BOY LOVED LIFE"

"We have our own



angel to watch over

us now."

"WE WILL ALWAYS MISS

YOUR HUGS AND SHAKES

TILL THE LORD JESUS TAKES

US HOME TO ALL BE

REUNITED"

On his bike summer '04, in Susquehanna, PA. 

Miracles aren't always

about getting something

back, 

sometimes they're about

finding a fuller

appreciation

for what you have 

left when something

is taken away!

"Stop telling God

how "big"

your

storms are and

start telling the

storms how BIG

is your GOD!"

"I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MY LIL' 

STAR RIDER"

This would be Zach's "last" race.
