Liz Aranda Burton <lizandbud@aol.com> Marietta, OK - Monday, November 1, 2004 10:55 AM CST Hi Misti, I have been thinking about you and your family lately and thought I would stop by to "visit". I am glad that you are enjoying working in your aunt's office. I recently took a job a couple of days a week in a friend's office and it really helps to be away from the house some. I really like the picture you have of Zach on the home page. He has such a great smile. Take Care, Diana, Mother of Angel Katherine http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/katherinecross/ <diana@houston.rr.com> - Monday, October 25, 2004 8:34 PM CDT I think of you all so often but its been so long since i signed the questbook, i was coming by again to check in. the picture on the front page is beautiful, you could reach out and touch zach. and the candle light vigil and his head stone pictures are incredible, I think its the neatest looking stone i have ever seen. You can tell he was/is loved. Every little detail of all his favorite things on it, what a way to express your love for little zach. Im sorry sam isnt with you now either, it must be so hard for eveyone being home without zach, You must surely feel like running away yourself. I continue to pray for you all. thanks for the update Kim <dakk2222@netnitco.net> IN - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 10:20 PM CDT Thinking & praying lots for your family.

I do believe that Zach and Chris are forever in Jesus's arms. And are playing ball right now. Carrie Hernandez <lcahernandez@msn.com> Artesia, NM USA - Thursday, September 23, 2004 10:29 AM CDT Misti, I just you to know that I am thinking of you and the family. My prayers will be with you. Angel Caitlin's Page Aleta <agunn@optonline.net> West Nyack, NY - Monday, September 20, 2004 4:28 PM CDT Dear Misti, Dimas, Samantha and Anthony, thinking of you all in these very difficult anniversary days. I cannot even start to imagine how terribly you are missing your son and brother, how intense is your longing for him. I read your post in precious Katja's and Carter's web.sites; despite your own pain and sorrow you generously offer words of comfort to families going through the same unspeakable tragedy or to those children who are fighting hard for their life. Thank you for being there. May God comfort you all, always. Hugs from Italy. Sabrina <morini@agriflex.it> Forlė, FC Italy - Monday, September 20, 2004 6:26 AM CDT Misti, I just wish I could give you a hug! I totally relate to everything you wrote. I think Zack and Nolan were a lot alike....sweet, brave, funny little boys! It does comfort me a bit to know they are chumming around in heaven. God bless you and your family Lorraine <loralof2@yahoo.com> - Saturday, September 18, 2004 10:21 PM CDT Zach is a beautiful child. May the Lord continue to bless your family and comfort you. You do not know me, I came to your site through Carter Martin. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is an encouragement, inspiration, and blessing to so many. Janet vonKohn <janetvonkohn@hotmail.com> - Saturday, September 18, 2004 5:34 AM CDT Hi Misti, Dimas and family, We are a day late but we just wanted you to know that we have not forgotten Zach. Our hearts go out to you and your family. I know he is a shining star watching over you. With love and prayers Bo and Sue Boggs Sue Boggs <bsboggs@midtech.net> Denver City, Tx USA - Wednesday, September 15, 2004 5:43 PM CDT Dear Misti, Dimas, Samantha, and Anthony, I signed Zachary's guest book, for the first time, at about this hour yesterday. Again, I am so sorry that your son/brother died. About sixty years ago, a young husband, who was a Lutheran minister, wrote these words, from a concentration camp, after the cruel murder of his wife. Perhaps they will be of some help to you. Separation From Those We Love "Nothing can make up for the absence of someone whom we love, and it would be wrong to try to find a substitute; we must simply hold out and see it through. "That sounds very hard at first, but at the same time it is a great consolation, for the gap, as long as it remains unfilled, preserves the bonds between us. It is nonsense to say that God fills the gap; God doesn't fill it, but on the contrary, keeps it empty and so helps us to keep alive our former communion with each other, even at the cost of pain." My thoughts and prayers are with you! Grace, peace, and hope, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Wednesday, September 15, 2004 0:38 AM CDT Misty, Dimas, Samantha & Anthony, I'm sorry I'm so late getting to send you a note today! You have been on my mind this whole month! I checked the other day to remember for sure which day this week was the anniversary of Zach's release from pain and suffering. I can only imagine what you must feel! Don't give up on the return of peace and happiness to your home! Zach would want you to laugh and go on with your lives. You spent a LONG time focusing on trying to get him well. You did absolutely every thing that you could possibly do - and even above and beyond that! Don't be hard on yourselves about it taking so much time to feel better! That WILL come!!! I know the year has been so very long to you - and yet, so short in some ways! God Bless you and fill you with His peace! Zach will NEVER be forgotten by those who's lives he has touched! Dianne Brunson <dbrunson@fivearea.com> Muleshoe, Tx. USA!!! - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 10:06 PM CDT Thinking of you on this day. M. Elton <meltonva@yahoo.com> Richmond, VA - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 9:57 PM CDT Misti and Family, Just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers today. I will always remember Zach's sparkling eyes and his sweet smile. God bless you all. Wanda Randolph <jandwrandolph@nts-online.net> Wolfforth, Tx USA - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 4:30 PM CDT My thoughts and prayers are with all of you on this day. Connie Webb <cwebb@crosswind.net> Denver City, TX USA - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 3:46 PM CDT I can only imagine the pain and sadness and emptiness all of you are feeling today, i guess it's one of God's way to keep Zach's spirit with you. Things, they say, get easier, and maybe one day you will all look back with less hurt and anger and 'why's' and just remember that little boy for what he was and what he gave you - those years of smiles and hugs. My prayers always. From Vicki Pieper, Grandma Nancy's High School buddy. 9/14/2004 Vicki Schubert Pieper <vpieper@satx.rr.com> San Antonio, TX USA - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 11:40 AM CDT Tia Misti and Tio Dimas As soon as I woke up today all I could think about was Zach. I am pretty sure that today is a very hard day for yall and I'm sure it is hard for all of our family. I just want yall to know that I love yall and even though Zach is not with us physically he is with us everyday in our hearts and our memory. I miss him terribly especially on this day and I just want so bad for the pain to go away also but I know that Zach is in a beautiful place where he looks down on us and occasionally gives us a hug and a kiss and I know this because I feel the warmth of his touch. I just wanted to let yall know that yall too are in my thoughts today and I love yall and I wish I could be there. Divina <cmx0269@copymax.com> Lubbock, TX USA - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 11:40 AM CDT Just wanted to let you guys know I am thinking of you today and that you are on our prayer list. Take care. Misti, you don't know me, but I went to school with your Mom. Gerri Grove Dougharty <geraldene10@hotmail.com> Colbert, OK USA - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 10:39 AM CDT Misti, Dimas and kids Just wanted to say hello and that you are still in our hearts and in our prayers. We pray that God will give you a peace that passes all understanding and that He will restore happiness to you and your home, thank you for all you have shared about our little hero Zach. Just remember that God's special gift to us is our children, He just loans them to us, although Zach's time was shorter, he made such an impact on all our lives, the one time I got to see him and the special hug he gave me will live on in my memories. We went to the Texas Ranger reunion and several of the Rangers wanted to know about your family. The courage that you have shown have touched so many. With much love and many many prayers Ruth and Larry Murphree <larumurp@crosswind.net> Plains,, TX - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 8:20 AM CDT Misti: I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you on this day. I know that people always tell me that "with time the pain will lessen." I don't think I really believe that. I think that with time we learn how to live with the pain and manage it better. One day at a time. Blessings and peace to you all. Your friend, Susan....mommy forever to Jakey Bear Griffin <@aol.com> - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 7:37 AM CDT I have never visited this CaringBridge site previously, but I do read many pages and sign many guest books. I found my way here, this morning, after reading the note you left in Cheyenne Fiveash's guest book. I am so sorry about Zachary. He was a handsome boy! Today, the church celebrates Holy Cross Day, so I am leaving you the Collect for the Day, used by Episcopalians. May it, be an encouragement, as you remember your son. God bless you! Grace and peace, ~Colette~ Holy Cross Day: September 14 Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ was lifted high upon the cross that he might draw the whole world to himself: Mercifully grant that we, who glory in the mystery of our redemption, may have grace to take up our cross and follow him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. ~The Book of Common Prayer I will visit Zach's site again, and may God bless his family, friends, and classmates, releasing balloons and lighting candles today. Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 3:04 AM CDT Hey there, how's it going? I wanted to say hi on this 9/11/04 date.....

Tami <blessingsbyceleste@hotmail.com> pgh, pa - Saturday, September 4, 2004 9:47 PM CDT Happy Birthday, Misti!!! I LOVED the photos of you and Zach. They really capture the special bond you two shared. (And yes, you are too a BEAUTIFUL woman!!!) Zach and Nolan were a lot alike. They both loved their mama's very much. They both had a very special place in their families, being the youngest of the kids. They both liked to be with their big brothers and sister. It does give me some comfort to know that Zach and Nolan and Julia and Leilani and Celeste and Maddie and so many other beautiful children are together now! And that one day we WILL see them again. love and hugs from 'angel' Nolan's mom Lorraine <loralof@yahoo.com> - Thursday, August 26, 2004 8:59 AM CDT Dearest Family, I have been thinking of you and your Angel today.

De La Rosa Vanessa < vanessa_d22@msn.com> Artesia, NM 88210 - Tuesday, August 24, 2004 2:08 PM CDT Dear Misti and family, I saw your website on a message on the BT list. I came here and read your loving tribute to your little boy. What a beautiful site you have created. Your love and devotion to Zach and each other are so evident. My heart and prayers go out to your family. We've experienced something similar, our first son died in infancy and he would be 15 now. The hurt doesn't go away, but somehow you learn to live with it. I know how much you are still hurting, and seeing your other children live the milestones that Zach missed is bittersweet. Love each other all you can. Love, The Meyer Family Michelle & Dave (AAIII-7 year survivor and still fighting) Kenny 13, Zach 12 & Kate 8 www.caringbridge.org/wa/davemeyer Michelle Meyer <meyer1986@charter.net> Walla Walla, WA USA - Saturday, August 21, 2004 1:07 AM CDT Thank you so much for coming to visit Ryan's web site and signing the guestbook. It means so much to us to have such support from people who have been there. Zach is such a handsome young man. Just remember he may not be with you physically but he is with you everyday. He is in every breath you take and every move you make, he is right by your side guiding you and comforting you. I know it doesn't make you miss him any less or feel any better. You are in our prayers.

I wish I had been home to get my email before you left New Mexico. Since Katherine earned her wings in July, I feel such complete loss. I didn't know it was possible to hurt this much. Please know that I am praying for peace and healing for you and your family. Love, Diana, Mother to Angel Katherine http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/katherinecross Diana Cross <diana@houston.rr.com> Houston, - Wednesday, August 18, 2004 8:55 AM CDT I came to the website via your posting on the brain tumor bereavement website. What a beautiful (I guess Zach would prefer handsome!) boy! You can just see that mischeviousness in his eyes....such a boy thing! Thank you so much for sharing him with us. My husband Rick passed away from a brain tumor on Sept 14th as well, only in 1999. Rick had such a love for children, (he was always like one!) as our 4 can attest to, and I can only hope that he and Zach have found each other!

It seems there are so many of us celebrating holidays and feeling the loss of our sweet angels! My baby was 28 years old, but still my little girl and I miss her more every day!! They all fought their battles so bravely and left us with such beautiful memories. But the struggle of going through our days without them is never ending. Because of Caringbridge we are all like an extended family and can share with each other and support each other during this terrible time of finding a "new" normal! Warm thoughts and hugs to you and yours as the days go by.

Your words of support help so much. I think about you and Zach a lot. I pray Katherine can beat her DPG and be one of the miracles. However, if she does not, it is comforting to know she will be there with your sweet angel Zach. Please know I pray for you and your family. The Memorial for Zach at school is so nice. What a great thing for his friends and teachers at school to do in honor of him. Love, Diana Cross, Mother of Katherine http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/katherinecross/ <diana@houston.rr.com> Houston, TX - Thursday, June 10, 2004 10:22 PM CDT Hey Misti and family, the memorial is really nice.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience here. It is an old hospital and now part of UNMH. They do a wonderful job treating my cousin who is seen in their metabolic and endocrinology clinic for a rare metabolic disorder (methylmalonic acidemia). I have never seen a rude nurse. That shocks me. They are trying to make improvements, but if there is no money..then there is no money. Why didnt you get to go to Texas this time? Always in my thoughts and prayers, p.s. It surprises me that I never see an NM people sign the guestbook :( Cassandra <cmraven@msn.com> Albuquerque, NM - Thursday, March 11, 2004 11:02 PM CST just checking in on sam.. and thinking about zach.. he reminds me so much of my son..

Please take this cup of suffering away from Me. YET I WANT YOUR WILL, NOT MINE!" Mark 14:36 I can't imagine how hard that would be - but you must put it in His hands and give Him the control - Check out Romans 8:17 : We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with Him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with Him."

So don't be afraid because you have lots of family who love you and are wishing the best outcome of this another terrible nightmare. I wish I were going to be there for you but know that your mom and dad and the love they have for your will be all the strength you need to get through this. Remember to think lots of happy thoughts and also think of how brave Zach was when he went through the same thing and he will be right there with you holding your hand while they do the biopsy and it will go smoothly and will be over before you know. Little brother and Baizer I will await your phone call and if I need to come up just let me know and I will be right there.

This is their message from our Father...that faith in Jesus is all we need. Read the word below > Mark 5:35-43 > BE NOT AFRAID > MEMORY VERSE: Mark 5:36: As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he > saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. > Jairus had a problem. His daughter was dying. Thankfully, there was a > specialist in town. His name was Jesus. > Having come to the end of his own resources, the troubled father came to the > Saviour and told Him his problem. What a good example this is! All of uspaloma > face problems from time to time that we cannot solve. We figure but fail. We > consult others but they have no answers. We read books written by experts, > but surprisingly their perfect solutions do not bring the desired results. > We arrive at "wit's end corner" and do not know what to do. Then someone > suggests going to Jesus. > Strange that it took so long. He was available all the time. > Soon after Jairus told his problem to Jesus, some of his friends came to > discourage him. "Thy daughter is dead," they said. "Why trouble thou the > Master any further?" They were part of the "What's the use?" crowd. We all > know them. They are the enemies of faith. > But Jesus knows them too! Hearing their representatives that day, He > immediately countered with a faith builder: "Be not afraid, only believe." > That arrow of truth packed more power than all the discouraging words of the > detractors. His promise was intended to lift and help the burdened father. > Jesus cares about burdened people. And he would keep that promise. The child > would live. > Your problems may seem insurmountable. You're trapped. Cornered. You dread > tomorrow. Take your burden to Jesus and trust Him. > Be not afraid, only believe.

Because of the children, I am producing a play in Rhode Island called OUT OF MY HEAD, myautobiography of my story as a survivor since childhood and multiple misdiagnoses. It will benefit both the TOMORROW FUND for KIDS WITH CANCER and THE BRAINTRUST who gives us the BRAINTMR list of whom I am connected to as an advocate. I would be honored to add Zach;s name later on when I print the playbook. Please check the BRAINTMR list for details. You have my love, support, hugs and tears.

I still keep checking in from time to time to see how everyone is doing. I know times are tough. It's so hard to let go and sometimes if we feel we try to move on that we won't remember all that we want too. There will always be that void but know that Jesus can help you in your time of need and loneliness. My prayers are still with you and your family. Thank you for continuing to put up pics of Zach and the rest of your family. It warms my soul. Love to you and yours. Kathey Garland, TX - Friday, January 16, 2004 12:48 AM CST Friday!

All the Angels here at Quilts Of Love are praying also. God Bless you all. I would also like to say that Zach's headstone is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

My son died on November 18, 2003 from medulloblastoma. He was 18 months old. I read back to when your son died. I guess I just wanted to see how it affected a child who could speak. I know that their passing and their suffering before means nothing to them now that they are in the glory of heaven. May God bless your family. I pray for a simple solution to your daughter's health problems. Sincerely, Elizabeth Sterling Elizabeth Sterling <sciencet@ptd.net> Millmont, PA USA - Friday, January 9, 2004 8:40 AM CST Misti - I'm sorry you didn't get the answers you were looking for.

Tracy Murphree <tmurph@dallascowboys.com> Denton, Tx USA - Wednesday, May 28, 2003 10:03 AM CDT Hey Zach, your webpage is awesome, It's great to know that there are alot of people that love and care about you. I really enjoyed spending some time with all of you guys on Saturday, wished it could have been longer, but I'll see you soon in Houston. We will be praying for you, stay strong. If there's anything you need before we go just give me a call. Aunt Biviana <bivianabeltran@msn.com> Georgetown, Tx. Williamson - Tuesday, May 27, 2003 11:16 PM CDT Dear Zach, Your grandmother, Nancy, is my friend. I think that this web page is really cool. You must have some really great friends who set this up for you. Too Cool! I will be praying for you while you are at Houston. I pray that the treatments will not make you too tired or weak. If there is something speacial that you want me to pray for, just e-mail me back. I read on your web page about how much money your team raised for cancer research. There are alot of people who love you a whole bunch. I have met you a couple of times. The last time may have been at the Sheriff's Department Christmas party. Your grandmother is always bringing pictures of you and bragging about what a great grandkid you are. Is all of it true? If you get bored sometime, you can e-mail and I will write you back. I only check my mail once a day so it may take me a day to get back to you. Well I guess that I had better get back to work. I love ya and I will be praying for you and your family.

Carissa <abercrombie_hottie23@hotmail.com> Artesia, NM United States - Monday, May 26, 2003 6:29 PM CDT Hi Zach, You don't know me but I went to school with your Grandma Nancy. Anytime you want to know anything about her and some of the fun times we used to have -- you just let me know! You hang in there and keep on being strong. You amaze me! What a wonderful person you must be, you have the most beautiful, contagious smile. Every time I see a picture of you, I have to smile back. Take care and maybe I'll get to meet you someday (and then we can trade stories about Grandma but we won't tell her that, okay?) Gerri Grove Dougharty <geraldene10@hotmail.com> Colbert, OK USA - Sunday, May 25, 2003 11:02 PM CDT Hi Zack! This is from your cousin Carla in Ecuador. I always share the e-mails from your Grandma Nancy with my husband Rafael and my Ecuadorian family here. They say to tell you hello and that they are thinking about you and praying for you! I am too! You probably don't remember me, but we met when you and your family came down for Aunt Illian's birthday several years ago and at a few other family events. I saw your pictures on the Website and you are still a handsome little boy! Don't forget that there are people thinking about you from all over the world ... even in the southern hemisphere! Love, Carla Carla Bass <carladbass@yahoo.com> Quito, Ecuador - Sunday, May 25, 2003 9:56 PM CDT Hi! Zach! What an amazing Web Site you have. As I look through it tonight, I am in awe of the number of people who have WRITTEN that they are praying for you! I know that I pray for you daily and there are many, many, many more people I know who are praying for you. If that's the case with everyone else (and I feel sure it is!), you can not begin to count all those prayers being said in your behalf! I picture you surrounded by all size prayers on tiny wings!!! I'm sorry you've had to be sick! I have loved hearing about your Disney Trip, your Relay for Life, your starting the first game of the Baseball Season and so on!!! You draw from the fun and laughter of those times and from the love and strength of your family and hang in there until you are WELL!!! By the way, I have gotten to meet you - a long time ago. I lived in Plains and worked with your Grandmother Nancy - who, as you surely know, thinks you are a wonderful person! I am listening and watching for updates on how you are feeling. Picture tiny butterfly-like prayers all around you if you need a special blessing! My love and prayers! Dianne Brunson Muleshoe, Tx. USA - Sunday, May 25, 2003 8:42 PM CDT Hey Zack, I have only met you once or twice but I keep up with you through your Grandmother Nancy. I'm a dispatcher at the Sheriff's Office and I am one of the few people who can tell your Grandmother where to go and get away with it! ha ha ha. A lot of the time I send her to put up a cow or two that thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the highway. She is one of my special friends and she loves you bunches. You are the strongest and bravest kid around. I am praying for you and your family. If you ever need me to tell your Grandmother where to go just let me know! ha ha Love ya, Liz Liz Chandler <lizzepooh@yahoo.com> Plains, Tx USA - Saturday, May 24, 2003 6:47 PM CDT Hi Zach don't think we have met but have seen photos of you. Do know your grandmother Nancy. I am on the Fire dept. and EMS in Denver City. Be strong and we will be thinking of you often and keep in prayers. Keith and Mary Mensch <kmensch@hiplains.net> Denver City, Tx USA - Saturday, May 24, 2003 5:10 PM CDT Hi Zach. We have never met, but I am your third cousin. I grew up with your Grandmother, Nancy. Your Grandmother has been keeping me informed of your progress and I think of you often. I know this new treatment is scary for you, but putting the port in will make taking the treatment much easier with a lot less need for shots. I'll be thinking about you and your family. Love, Vicki Vicki Young Johnson <johnsonv@son.uab.edu> Hoover, AL USA - Saturday, May 24, 2003 1:44 PM CDT Hi Zach, we have never met, but you have a really cool Grandma Nancy that I know (I work at the Police Department) and she has told me a whole lot about you. I think she is pretty crazy about you. She told me about your website so I decided to pay a visit. It is really cool and those pictures are great. I bet you have a lot of fun with your website. From what I hear you are a pretty special kid and one of these days I sure would like to meet you. I wanted to tell you that you and your family are in our prayers. Take care and come see us in Denver City. Sue Boggs <bsboggs@midtech.net> Denver City, TX USA - Saturday, May 24, 2003 1:28 PM CDT Dear Zach, I was so pleased that you and your family earned so much money for the Relay for Life Rally. That was quite an accomplishment!!!! Besides that it sounded like a lot of fun......especially the eating part of frito pie, cupcakes, and popcorn, not to mention cokes. It is amazing how much can be earned when a lot of people get together. It sounded like Grandma Nancy had a good time, too. I think she paid for it with blistered ears and lips, but I could tell from her e-mail that she really had a great time. I loved the picture of you and yours. I wish I was as creative with the computer as your family seems to be. I know that you have returned to Houston, and they are planning to do some additonal medications to help you get better. I am so thankful Houston has been there for you. From all I know it is the place to be for the most current treatment. Zach, you are at the top of our prayer list, and I know you and your family have blessed so many people. I thank God for all of you. All is well here. Tell your Mom that Aunt Illian is doing better. She is home from the hospital, and we hope she will continue to improve. Well, Zach, I need to write Nancy. I hear that if I don't she pouts. I really hate to see a grown woman pout, don't you??............s-o-o-o-o......I better get busy. You take care. Give your whole family a great big hug from us. We love you and yours even if we don't get to see you very often.
