This is tragic. I am in prayer for the family and the youth in Ridgefield. Parents unite to support and protect our young people. It takes a village!

The death of Zach has really hit the community hard as there has been way to many losses of our youth in such a short time. I know Parents across town have been hugging their kids with more meaning since Sunday. May your spirituality give you strength through this extremely sad time. So sorry for your loss.....
