My thoughts and prayers are with Zachary's family. May he rest in peace forever more.

Thinking of Zachary today! Miss him so much.

Zach, we love you... I hope its nice and cosy up there. God bless you son.

I'm in the eight grade and doing a reasearch paper on progeria that I will have to orally present to my class&school principal and I am using Zachary as my example. Thank you so much for putting his story out there and giving me somthing to tell everyone about. When people heard what I was doing my paper on, they had no idea who Zachary was or what Progeria is. They all will soon know, and together we will find a cure.

I am doing an informative speech on Progeria for my speech class, and I just want to let you know, I am using Zach's story. Your son had a beautiful soul. He was always smiling in his pictures and videos. You should be proud. God Bless.

Hi! I am a undergrade student that will soon be working on a short paper about progeria. I've always been kind of curious about this disease since high school when I first heard about it. I found your book online looking for resorces and earlier was able to check it out. Though, I have not finished the book yet. I have found what I have read very inspirational. Your son has touched yet another persons life. I thought you should know this. I can only hope that I can put dignity where it is due in my paper. I also hope that being a pre-med major I can always remember to be caring and compasionate to my patients and not hide behind my degree when I don't know what is wrong. Again it is so amazing how God uses people. I can't wait to meet Zachary in heaven some day. Thank you for telling his story. God Bless all of you!

Thank you so much for sharing your son with the world. He was sent here to be a teacher, and his mission continues. Even though his presence here is intangible, his spirit shines through every picture that you have used to represent his days with you. God blessed you with Zachary, and continues to bless you with his memory. Thank you for giving us an opportunity at a glimpse of your life and family.
