Rest in Peace Zachary; Please, prayers to my family
 

My son who would be 6 mos. old on the 4th passed away today while he was sleeping. He was perfectly healthy and this is crushing me. I don't know what to do and would trade places with him in an instant. Please keep my family in your prayers.

Definitely don't hesitate to look into these when you're ready. I've been doing some work with the Colorado SIDS Program out here lately, and it's really opened up my eyes to how helpful talking to someone can be for a family going through such a tragedy. There are a number of organizations around that are more than happy to help you through such a difficult time. Just let me know if you have any trouble finding someone to talk to if you need it.

Here's another to add to your list:

My deepest sympathies to you and yours.

May God bless you and yours. I don't know you from a hole in the wall but can honestly say this has hurt my heart.

I could never begin to imagine..........I'm so sorry that you and your family are having to go through this right now. You all have my prayers, and may God bless each and every one of you for a lifetime. So tragic.

I am so sorry to hear my wife and I will both be praying for you and your family at this hour of need.

I don't know what to say Mike...But my family will pray for your son and your family.

Is there any sort of fund set up that we could send donations to?

I'm so sorry for you and your family’s loss. Words can’t comfort what you must be going through. My family’s prayers are with you. God Bless.

As a father of two I can only imagine the pain that your family is experiencing right now. Please accept my condolences.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words..... I still do not know how I can get through this. Zachary is my little man; Thank God for my daughter or would have nothing to lift my spirits.




Our church; which was destroyed by arson, St. Davids in Topeka is where any donations can be sent. In the process of rebuilding they will be constructing a playground. They are going to name it "Zachary's Playground". I can not begin to tell you how deeply moved my family is by this gesture.

Again thank you all for you thoughts and prayers.

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

I cannot imagine your heartbreak. I will keep your family in my prayers and also put your son's name on the list at church, that his family will always remember him as he waits for the reunion we all hope to have.

Oh my God. I'm so sorry for you and your family. There's nothing I can say that will help. I'm very, very sorry. Zachary will always be in your dreams.

I don't know what to say...

I'm so sorry about your loss. I cannot even imagine the pain such a tragedy would cause. I wish there was something more that I could do than pray but needless to say you and your family are in my prayers.

I can't even imagine... I'm not a religious person, but I'll say a prayer for you and hope that you and your family are able to make it through this horrible loss...

I'm truly sorry to hear that your family will be in my prays.

Reach out to me if I can help....get my pm to you. He will be a godsend, I promise. You are all in my prayers.

Oh My, May God give you the peace and comfort to face this, we are lost for words and our hearts go out to you and yours.

Our best thoughts and prayers and if there is anything we can do, ask, God Bless you and the family, Rest in Peace Lil Zachary........

I'm so sorry for you and your families lose... There's no words that anyone can say to make things better... Only time will heal, but you will always have him in your minds for an eternity... Hang in there, and your always free to PM any of us if you feel the need too... Stay strong, as I'm sure he's looking down on you wanting you to be strong...

Prayers sent towards your way and the family....

That sucks man. :(

Every parents worst nightmare... may God bless and watch over your family Mike.

What an amazing gesture of love. I was so upset when your church fell victim to arson. It is great to know the resolve in your congregation. That resolve will live in you and your family too.

God Bless.

My deepest condolences.

May god bless you and yours.

Stay strong bro, know he is in a better place. God bless your family.

God damit I fell for you buddy..stay strong, life shits on us sometimes, but he's in a better place now...

May peace be with you, strength surround you and love enfold you...always.

God bless you, My most sincere condolences, be strong for your family if you can. Will keep you in my prayers.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I wis I could do more than just telling you.
Be strong for your family and remember that you will see him again.

Could someone with photoshop please pm me. I need the red eye of the last picture of my son removed. My photo editing software will not remove it all.

Thank you again all for your thoughts and prayers.

Hey man, I can't even imagine what you are going through. I wish you the best buddy. I'm praying for you.

Hope you're hanging in there, friend. If you do not mind me asking, have they determined what was the cause? If you don't want to answer, nor feel to answer, I understand and respect that.

Again, prayers are sent to you and your family.

I'm sorry for your loss

It might have been SIDS

You and your son are in my prayers

I just noticed this thread. So sorry for your loss, not much I can say, lost for words, prayers to you and your family.

Our prayers for you and your family.

Wow...I've been away from the Planet a lot lately, so I just saw this. I'm so sorry to hear about this, man. I cannot even fathom the unbelievable grief you must feel. I don't think anyone who hasn't been there can even begin to imagine. Best wishes and Godspeed for you and yours in this time of pain.

Prayer are done. My God, you must be strong. Stay that way for your family.

You are in my families prayers.

You got my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine what you and you family are going through, only that it must be the worst nightmare a parent could ever have. Stay strong.
