The main artery to his heart was 90% occluded, which means that his heart was only getting 10% of the blood that it needed. His heart stopped suddenly, and it died quickly. My heart, unfortunately, is still beating - but is broken.
I can't imagine life going on without him.
Asia - I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Zach was a great friend at all times and you two were perfect for each other. I will miss all the cold mornings surfing with him in Santa Cruz and meeting up most years at Christmas to snowboard in Utah. My prayers are with you at this time.
ReplyDeletei love you.
ReplyDeleteI never met Zach, but I know he meant the world to you. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh Asia :( I'm so sorry. I don't even have the words.
ReplyDeleteAsia, as soon as I found out, Ive prayed a lot today for you to be comforted. I cant even tell you how sorry I am for you. I told erin earlier that I wish all your friends and loved ones could each take a huge chunk of your pain away from you, till you're happy and feeling peaceful again.
ReplyDeleteIt may be hard to see now, but this was all part of Heavenly Fathers plan for Zach's life and yours....for some good reason. Remember Asia, that you are NEVER alone. Your Heavenly Father wants to comfort you as much as youll let him.
I love you sweetie! Call me if you need a should or anything else!!!

ReplyDeleteAsia:
ReplyDeleteWords will never be adequate to express the sorrow that I have in my heart for you and what you are going through right now. It was so amazing to see you and Zach together...everyone could see the love that shined around the two of you. I know that love will never end or stop just because you can't see him anymore. He is and always will be with you.
I wish I could ease yourp ain. I wish I could make things "OK". Please know how much I love you and you are in my every thought and prayer.

Asia, you do not know me, but I am a friend of your mothers. Please know that my heart goes out to you, your family and Zach's family at this time. You are in my prayers. May you be comforted at this time through our loving Father in Heaven. I know you will be with Zach again someday! I know it seems too long to wait, but it will be worth the wait! I know how much your mom loves you and she is always so proud of you. You will remain in my prayers for a long time. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteAsia,
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't know you guys very well, and mostly through Floyd and Christie, I just wanted to let you know you are in our prayers. My kids and I have great memories of Zach when we came up for Karlee's baptism. He truly was a GREAT guy!

Asia, I am so glad you and Zach were together. Without you, he would never have known true love. You made everything in his life better. I look at the pictures of you two together and I can see how happy you were. You were beautiful together. I am so sorry for our loss, but even more for your loss. Some people go their whole life without finding true love, but at least you have him in your heart. We are all family and we love you. I will pray for you.
ReplyDeleteAsia,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for getting to know you and Zack in Guatemala this summer. The time we spent together was so short but you were so kind to our family. My heart aches knowing the pain that you must be feeling and the sincere loss of a man who loved you so very dear. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he loved you deeply. And we send our love from Wisconsin in the hope that you always know you are deeply cared for!

Asia, you don't know me. I worked at your mom's school for a few years. But I heard the news, and followed the link from her blog. I just couldn't read without saying how very sorry I am for your loss. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. You are in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI briefly met you while you were visiting Haley in SD. My name is Brooke. I just wanted to tell you that I've been praying for you non-stop. Much love.
