Does it really matter? Regardless the name of the road, a child's life has been taken.

momoftwokids, LaGrange road runs from Liberty Road to Alexander Road ... It leaves Liberty Road just west of North Palestine Road....

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of life of one of our young children ... my prayers go out to the family. May you find peace in the Lord Jesus Christ ...

How very sad! My prayers are with Zacharys family during this time of unimaginable grief, I lost a son in 1970 & there is still not a day I don't think about him. Everyone has grief, but the grief of a mother is something only Mother's that have experienced it can truely understand.
The process of healing is v-e-r-y slow, but someday you will catch yourself thinking of Zachary with a smile on your face. My advice is to KEEP Zachery's memory alive, always include him when someone ask how many children you have always mention your SPECIAL ANGEL, always show his pictures too. There are tons online memorials to make in his honor, make people realize that Zachary Theriot was a human!!!!

My son is in this little boy's class at West Primary. He just brought home an invitation to his birthday party today. How do you tell a 5 year old about the death of a classmate?

To the family: I am very sorry for the loss of your precious boy. I will pray for you.

My prayers are with Zachary's family. I teach at West across the hall from his class, and it is going to be hard not to see his smiling face. He was always so happy. Those at West I have talked to are completely devastated, because Zachary was everybody's "buddy". If there is anything the family needs, please contact any member of the West family.

Love and Prayers,
Stephanie Bourke

This is a very sad day for the family, the school children and the neighbors of this family. My sister had a best friend who died at the age of 8 and it really made an impact on her. My mom said it was difficult to lose Daddy, but when my sister died, she said no parent should outlive a child. We keep Daddy and sister alive and talk about them and things we did everyday. It is not morbid and it actually helps you get over the bitterness of their passing.

This young mother is going to go through some difficult times and I hope she has a church and church family to assist her in getting through it.

God Bless them all.

I felt entitled to write this tonight:

Death….

Why, why, why….

Another soul so full of life and zest,

Death itself is hard to bear on the love ones who grieve

The pain is there….knowing you won’t be able to hear that precious voice, or the joyous laughter

Knowing you won’t be able to look at that angel face sleep peacefully….

Death comes with rain and with the mind frame that it is unbearable to live without that person you love so dearly.

Coming to terms with that spirit is the most heartbreaking experience.

Not wanting to release that person from your grasp.

A child’s life was taken today….although I did not know him personally…

I cry tears for what could have become of the life now gone.

I cry in sympathy for what that family must be going through.

I cry for the 5 year old who lost their best friend today,

I cry for the birthday never celebrated,

But mostly I cry for the child whose life was taken before it had a chance to fully blossom.

For Zachary Theriot
(2002-2008)

Thank you, ((Calm_Cool_Collected)) that was a very beautiful poem.

I was just thinking today about how I would feel if I lost another child. As soon as the thought entered my mind I had to dismiss it because it was overwhelming . . . the grief and pain of it was too much.

All I can do is hold this family up in my prayers and hope they find comfort in knowing that there are people they don't even know who care about them and are saddened by the loss of their precious child, Zachary.

Kirt and family,
Our thoughts and prayers will never be enough to comfort and ease the pain that you are feeling. only time will help you heel and all of our beautiful memories that we shared with Zachary.
Zackary is my daughters best friend, her lil buddy and they have had so many wonderful times together. it was so hard to tell her what had happened to her playmate, as i'm sure he had many .so i ask this community to lift up his parents, family, and friends and offer a helping hand,a kind word, or just a silent prayer.

Dear God,
I pray that you take this family into your arms and be their comforter in this time of need.God, I asked that you see after little Zachary; make his mother stronger daily and see her through this tragedy that she will forever feel responsible for.God let her know that we all have a scheduled day and time of departure and this was his day.You put Zachary here to serve a purpose and once that purpose was complete you took him into your arms and led him to the kingdom. God make his family understand that your will must be done;it does not matter when or where if it was in his book of life to leave today; it was going to happen, there is nothing that could have changed that. God please watch over this family in the name of your darling son Jesus; Amen

Rest in Peace Zachary!!! Keep watching over your family!!!

Family be strong and keep your hand in the hand of our Master and everything will be alright!!!!

May God be with you, Amen

Our granddaughter was in Zach's class. When she called me on the phone and told me that one of her bestest friends was killed in a car accident (and this was all said thru tears and stumbling words), I just broke down and cried too. Zach will be missed. His sense of humor and antics always made Chloe laugh and she will indeed miss this from him a lot. Zach touched many people, old and young alike, and I know that God is watching over him right now, but we, here, left behind, will miss him very much.
I pray that the Lord's arms encompass you during this time and give you peace beyond any human understanding.
God bless you and your family.

Having him in my home as a playmate for my two sons was always an adventure. We love you and will miss you Zach. Our prayers go out to the family and especially to Kirt, I know how much he ment to you. May God keep you close.

I would have much rather had his birthday party but we know he is in heaven with our Lord now.
