THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO ZACHARY, HE SAID, "WHEN YOU COME DOWN HERE, I'LL TREAT YOU TO A "FISH BOX"" (FROM THAT SOUL FOOD PLACE DOWNTOWN)

I WAS GONNA TAKE HIM UP ON THAT OFFER!!THAT MEMORY MADE ME THINK ABOUT HOW TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED

HE WILL ALWAYS BE INSIDE MY HEART, I SHALL NEVER FORGET HIM AND WILL CONTINUE TO THINK OF HIM OFTEN AND SMILE

I KNOW THIS IS A TIME OF MOURNING, HOWEVER, FOR THOSE WHO KNEW HIM WELL WILL THINK OF HIM AND NOTHING BUT PLEASANT THOUGHTS WOULD FLOOD THEIR HEARTS
