Hello everybody,

For those of you that didn’t get the email:

I just wanted to write a quick note to every one and tell you thank you for reaching out to me during this time. Your words of comfort, thoughts, and prayers have made it possible for me to get out of bed each morning. I intend to respond to each of you individually, but it will take me some time as my brain is still clouded in fog and it takes me longer even to do normal, every day things.

Our friend, Brendan, has helped me to create a memorial website for Zach. You can read Zach’s obituary, see some pictures, send in your photos, and post your memories on the site. I want to collect as many memories, pictures and videos of Zach as possible. If you have any, please send them to me or upload them on the site. If you know of anybody who has not heard of his death, or should have received this email, but didn’t – please pass it along to them.

Additionally, I would love to keep in touch with all of you. I welcome the opportunity to answer questions and to talk about Zach with you. It is never an intrusion for people to contact me via phone, email, IM, or in person (if you don’t have my phone number or IM info, just leave a comment and I’ll respond to it). A lot of people have asked how they can help me get through this difficult time, or if there is anything I need that they can do. I think what helps me the most is is to talk about memories of Zach. I will need people to keep checking on me from time to time, in the coming days, weeks, and months (maybe forever). So please don’t forget about me.

I am in Utah right now, if anyone is close by and wants to talk or ask questions, please feel free to call me or stop by (I’m staying at my mom’s in Springville). I will be headed back to Santa Cruz sometime next week. I’m taking it “one day at a time….”, so I’m not sure which day I plan to leave yet. I’ll post my plans here as soon as I know them.

Thanks again so much for all your support, words cannot express the gratitude and love that I feel in my heart for all the ways you have been there for me at this time.
