TO OUR BABY BOY!!!!


To Zach,

Sometimes we don't know why things happen and what God is doing, but we just have to believe that God is working things out because he is faithful and a good God. Zach just know that we will always be your parents and we will pray for you everyday that God will protect, guide and love you. I believe that God has a specific and awesome plan for your life and that you have already made an impact on our lives. Don't ever forget how much you are loved by God and by us. I believe that one day God will bring us back together and we talk about our lives and maybe play a game of basketball. I will let you win and I hope I don't pull a muscle. Zach just know that Melissa and I love you very much and that you are safe in God's arms even though you will not be in our arms. We love you and I just want to pray a Father's prayer over your life.

Lord, I pray for Zach that he grows up strong and healthy, and that he gives his heart to Jesus. And Zach will see your plans and follow your ways. I pray that he will be blessed with a heart to serve, and a desire to lead. I pray that he prospers and becomes very successful in school, life, and business. I pray that he stay abstinent until he gets married and finds himself a wonderful godly wife. Lord I pray that he always stays in your arms and knows that you have a plan that is far better that he can hope or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). I pray that Zach knows that Melissa and I love him and we will always be here for him. Thank you Lord for allowing us to hold him, love him and pray over him even if it was just for one night.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Scott

That was the most beautiful thing I've read in a long time...it brought tears to my eyes. Not just knowing the situation, but hearing your heart and prayers for Zach. We will cover him in prayers too. We love you guys and can't wait to see what God has in store for you!

As I sit here and ask God, "WHY?" I know in my heart his plan is perfect and power is unfathomable. I morn for this loss with you both but know that GOD is GREAT and we trust and obey. Amen Scottie!

Scott and Melissa,
I just got the news of your loss, and my heart breaks with yours!
God doesn't waste pain, but I still don't want you to have any!
I know, with you both, that God is good. THAT is our hope!
I'm asking Him to hold you these days of grieving and that His love will comfort, shield, and encourage you!
with great tenderness,
Kathy Marshall

We love you guys and are holding you in prayer. I can't help but think of Jer. 29:11 and believe that your family will look different by next year at this time. We pray you will be comforted with a peace that passes all understanding...
Hugs & Love,
Mere
