Eileen. We are so very sorry for your loss. Zach and your family were a big part of our son, Patrick's life back in Illinois when they were growing up and playing hockey. It's been many years but the fond memories are still so very vivid. Know that you and your daughter are in our thoughts and prayers.

Eileen and Karly...
It's been so long. I am so sorry to hear of Zach's death. Martha is visiting with me this weekend. We went through our photo albums and found such dear photos of Martha, Zach, and Chukka (1st day of school). We loved you all dearly. Our prayers are with you. I know he would have made an excellent doctor. Perhaps, in heaven, his services are needed more than they were here. God bless you all!

Dear Eileen and Karly.
I just wanted to tell you both how sorry I'm am to hear about Zach. I just can't believe it. I know it's been a long time, but I always looked up to him so much. He was so much fun, and more importantly he was a good man. He helped me through things that he probably doesn't even know about. I know he was only 17 and 18 at the time, but he just always seemed to be so wise and he always gave great advice, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. I often think of you all and how I miss all the fun times we had. He was a special person, and this world will be less without him here. You will be in my prayers and my thoughts. I love you both,

Zach, I just saw you at the College World Series. You are so gorgeous and I am so thrilled you finished Med school. You are a light in your mother and sister's life and memory. I am so glad I had the joy of visiting with you then. With love, Jan Matan
