Condolence: I had the pleasure of meeting "Zach" in 1996 when I started working at Brockbridge Correctional Facility. She worked a different shift but always smiled and said Hi. This is not common in Corrections! We both attended an event shorty after that and she snuck up behind me and started a conversation. That was all it took. We had a lot in common and became great freinds. I started a woman's baseball team and not only did she join but she talked her father into coaching the team! We took 1st place our very 1st year. Her whole family was always willing to help and support our team. She recruited many of her freinds to play also. We also played on several softball teams together and against each other. We both loved motorcycles and I even bought my 1st motorcycle from her! We rode with different clubs but we went to events that both clubs attended. Even after I transferred to another prison to work as a Lt. We kept in touch. Inmates thought we were the same person many times. I considered that a compliment. She gave her heart and soul to everything she did... Army, DOC, baseball, softball, motorcycle events, family, freinds, anyone that had the pleasure of knowing her was a better person because of her! She will be missed by so many and she made a great impact in our lives! A piece of me is now gone but I am comforted by the fact that she will be watching out for me and many others in spirit!
Your freind forever, Kelly

Condolence: I met Susan short of 3 years ago while training for a new job. She was easily approachable with a fun loving spirit. We enjoyed sharing family stories and pictures of our pets. Susan always had funny things to share. I will miss her smile and sense of humor. She would lend me her ear on several occasions and I don't think she knew how much her words would help me get through some rough days after the loss of my mother and sister. She was adorned by her co-workers. Susan Thank You So Very Much For Being You. My condolences to Susan's loving family. With Love.

Condolence: Susan Zachry was Zach to me. We met in the 290th and I was fortunate enough to have developed a friendship with her outside of the military. Attached for life by that umbilical cord that connects so many of us wherever we happen to be in the world, we knew we could pick up just where we left off from the last time we saw each other. Over the past few days I've been able to smile at so many of the memories that made our friendship. Zach was a gem. I will always remember her sense of humor, her disdain for flying, her insistence on absolute quiet when she was ready for some shut eye, belly laughs on midnight patrols, that mouth guard thing she wore at night - it made it very difficult for her to yell at us when we were dancing around her bed and singing, but most of all her smile and her sincere kindness. Zach was a "keeper" for anyone that met her. She was loyal and trustworthy in her service to our country and her community. I have always admired Zach for all of these things and more. We lost part of our tribe, clique, squad, posse, whatever you want to call it - and it hurts. My condolences to Zach's family.
Until we meet again my friend.
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well.

Condolence: Susan, my best friend for over 32 years what can I say? You saved my life 25 years ago when we moved into the little apartment in Darlington. You helped me get on my feet after a very difficult time. We both know neither one of us should be in the kitchen but somehow I cooked dinner for us for those couple of years. You were an incredible friend to me for so many years you helped me through so many difficult times I would not be where I am today if it were not for you. You had such an amazing heart that extended way beyond me. You touched everyone you ever met. It is amazing how many people who were touched by your heart and your wisdom. I
am the lucky one to be able to call you my BFF. You were a treasure and a gift to this horrific world. I know I can't imagine my life without you but you can bet there will not be a day that you won't be on my mind. I know you are going to read this so I will put an inside joke out here in two words- White Zinfindel, yeah you are laughing and so am I. Thank you for being you and always being there for me. I love ya girl and miss you so much! Rest in peace my friend,rest in peace.

Condolence: There are no words that can take away this pain I feel, the emptiness, the anger. I know that is selfish because I want you here with me. You are the best big sister that anyone could have wished for and I am sooo thankful and proud that you were mine. This is going to take a long time for me to think of you without crying. I can't imagine my life without you. Rest easy sis - I love you with all my heart and soul. Kiss my Harley "boog" for me cause I know he was waiting on you.

Condolence: I miss you already, my dear friend. What a sweet, caring woman. I feel privileged to have known you. My whole family and all my friends have called me with condolences. Even our favorite server from Squisitos called. She saw it on facebook. She said "Zach was a sweet woman-I was shocked to read this terrible news. I will miss her". And what an animal lover...She took exquisite care of her fur babies. They just loved her so. Just Thursday, when I mentioned my dear Golden Retriever, Max-who passed a few months ago, she got tears in her eyes. Zach was his special "girlfriend". He absolutely loved her. Zach loved to give our piggy treats. My cat, who is very guarded, actually let Zach love on her. We have been through so much over the years. We never got that ride on your bike that you promised a few months ago...Much love to you, my friend. Until we meet again. Rest easy.
