We found out today that our good friend Zac Grow passed away this morning. Zac was born with spinal bifida among other problems. He lived to be 25 years old, much longer than he was expected to, but it doesn't make his loss any easier. 
I very rarely saw Zac without a huge smile on his face or him using his fingers to motion us over to say hi. He loved to look at pictures of his family and friends, so one of his brothers gave him a watch that displayed a slideshow of pictures. Knowing that Zac liked pictures Kurt took one of him with his camera phone and saved it as his display on his phone. At church Kurt would show Zac his picture and he would just laugh and laugh.
Zac will definitely be missed, but a part of me is excited for him. His body will be healed and he will be able to run, play, and communicate with everyone around him.
Our hearts go out to the Grow (and Tu'itavuki) Families. We love you guys! You are such great examples of service and love --not just to Zac, but to everyone around you.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Oh, no. My heart is broken. Zac is such a sweetheart and I am hurting for the Grow family. Thank you, Rachel for keeping us posted. My thoughts and prayers are with that amazing family.
Oh my, We are sad over here at the Ramirez house as well. Zac always had a smile for Olias in church.
We were so glad we got to know Zac even better in September. We got to go to the park and a birthday party with him. He always had a smile and made us all smile too. We will miss him. Our hearts are heavy, but we know Zac is doing great now. He is free from pains and sicknesses.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Grow family.
