Oh, my friend I have no words....so, I will tell you the only word that is coming to mind, right now. "proud" I remember listening to you, as you cut my hair, telling me about Zane's baseball days and I saw such pride on your face. I remember you telling me that Zane had started out as a dishwasher and had worked his way up to managing the Crab House. Again, I could see the pride on your face. I know that Zane probably noticed the same look on your face and there is nothing better than seeing that look on your parents face. I pray that God brings you strength. You have always been such a support to me these past years, that I hope that I can do the same for you. Love you always!

"Snuck off to a grand outdoor adventure" is an incredible and loving way to think of Zane´s early exit from this broken world into a glorious world of no more sin, suffering, and sadness. I can just imagine Lonnie, Paula, and Bryan´s excitement when they see him and running up to give him a big hug. I can also see Lonnie with his smirkiest grin holding a ping-pong paddle ready for game on as Paula sits with a smile on her face watching and holding a glass of wine and Bryan ready to take on the winner. I know your heart is heavy and you are in excruciating pain. I just want you to know that we love you and will continue to lift you up in prayer.

The Brownlee family is covering you all in prayer at this difficult time. I´m still in disbelief that this happened. I´ll always remember his sweet smile and laugh. I always enjoyed him strumming the guitar and singing around a fire at the pond. He is missed but his memory will live on. Many prayers and hugs

I will miss you Zane, you had a laid back way, but a serious side too, especially when fishing. I remember a time when your father and I was fishing from his boat. We came up on you fishing from a pier, you were so intent in catching the biggest fish. And, most of the time you did!
I miss you Zane....
