Sometimes words are simply not enough. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. RANDY WARE, MARCH 14, 2007 Ron and Pam, We have just learned the news of Zachary. As parents of three beloved ones, I can only imagine the tremendous sorrow and grief, courage and hope you face each day with. The only thing that makes sense now is knowing that God numbers our days and Zach is in His loving arms. Josh and Jacob, it will never be the same without Zach, so lean on each other, be strong for each other, and love one another. Give yourselves time to remember what you loved about Zach and keep his memory strong. How wonderful that you, as Christians, know the hope of God's glory and that you will be with Zach at the end of your days. You remain in our prayers. Jeff and Cynthia Stewart, Tulsa CYNTHIA STEWART, MARCH 13, 2007 Pam - My heart breaks for you and Ron and your whole family. You are all so very special to me. I still think of you and that Gracemont group as "my girls" and have a hard time believing it's been so many years since those days in choir and youth that we spent together. You have experienced the hardest thing a parent can ever go through. No one can take away the pain but we have a "daddy" who will wrap His arms around you and love and comfort you as no other can. Your friends, near and far, are privileged that God allows us to minister to you in His name. Just know that we are lifting you'all up and wishing we could be there with you. God's grace and peace to each of you. With much love and very fond memories - Linda Roach ZACHARY KEITH POTEETE, MARCH 13, 2007

You are all in my prayers and in my heart.

JEFF OLIVE, MARCH 12, 2007 Pam, I have been thinking about you and your family for a week (since the moment Jake Trewin was kind enough to send me an telling me of the loss of your son, Zack). I am not sure exactly what to say (especially after reading some of the wonderful things that others who love all of you so much have written thoughout this memorial). Please know that you and your family are so dearly loved and that we all grieve with you over the passing of young Zack. I and everyone I know that knows you and your family will be praying for you regularly. I have to think that is is hard for all of you to believe that you will ever be okay, again, after such a devastating loss, but I also know through God's Power and Love, (though you will never ever forget Zack), that you will someday again be able to say "All is well with my soul - Glory to God". This is

5 my hope for you and I will be making this a priority request to the Lord in each and every prayer for you, Ron, Josh & Jacob. My love goes out to all of you...god Bless You - Dale R Diercks (if there is anything I can do call ) DALE ROBERT DIERCKS, MARCH 9, 2007 Ron, Pam, Joshua & Jacob - There are no words to describe the sorry I feel for you during this most difficult time.
