you mean the world to me and i will never forget you. you will always be that special person in my heart forever.

i love you sooo much and miss you like crazy.

Those of us that knew Zach,knew just how special he was. He left his mark on more people in 14 years
then many do in adulthood. An Angel
hs left this earth to continue his work eleswhere.

From the moment Zach entered my art room I knew he was a special young man. I was so sad to hear that Zach passed away. I always enjoyed his smile and the sparkle in his eyes.

Foreman Family--
I didn't know Zach but I do now know a lot of his closest friends. As soon as I heard I was heartbroken. Heartbroken because such a wonderful person was sadley taken away. I have heard that he was a fantastic student and amazing friend. That is the kind of person that we need more of in this world. Zach has set a wonderful example of how a person should live their life...helping other people and eventually end up with an everlasting smile on his face. He will never be foregotten. My prayers to you all.

dear sandy & family ~
i was just speaking with beth farber about an old mutual colleague and she told me of the passing of your son.
while i have not had the hounour of meeting your family, i'm certain zachary left you with many sweet memories to keep him close in your heart and the hearts of your entire family.

wishing all of you my most sincere condolences~

p.s. i still have your autograph & carry it always.

You have our deepest sympathy for the loss of Zach. From reading this Guest Book, it is apparent that he was a wonderful boy who was deeply loved by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

SANDY AND JUDY

JUST RETURNED FROM MARCO ISLAND AND HEARD OF YOUR LOSS.

HARRIETT AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

MAY ZACH REST IN PEACE.

i didn't know zach personally but the story brought me to tears sorry for your loss and r.i.p. ZACH

From the minute I met Zach I knew he was the kind of person that changes your life, showing you the brighter side of everything and putting a smile on your face. Whether it was trying to figure out our math homework or discussing our tennis abilities, with Zach there was never a dull moment. He was a great freind who was always there to talk to, and for that he will be missed. It's too hard to explain what it is going to be like without him, but i'm glad I had the chance to know him.
My prayers are with the Foreman family.

Zach was in many of my classes. Zach was such a funny kid in the movies he and Ross made. I was stunned when I read the paper for Kildeer in the Metro section in the Chicago Tribune. Zach continues to be in my, and my families, prayers.

I do not know the family, but I work with Judy's friend Debbi Weil. All of us at work were devastated to hear this news, and our prayers are with the Foreman family. May God give you strength and peace.

While our family did not know Zach personally, we were overwhelmed by the expressions of love and compassion from our community for your son last Sunday. Our lives have been touched nonetheless by such a truly wonderfuly young man. Our prayers are with you during your time of grief - and I wish that our words could somehow ease your pain. As I read over the entries in this guest book, it is so apparent that your son, Zachary, touched so many young lives in such a short period of time. I only hope and pray that there is comfort in that for you. While it seems only a moment of time he was in your arms, he is forever in your heart and that of so many others.

Zach was a good friend since first grade. I will miss Zach. One memory that sticks with me today is when Zach taught me the finger trick for multiplying by 9.

Zach was a very great kid. Even though I didn't know him that well, I knew that everyone liked him. He was very funny, and he was nice to everyone that he met. He will be missed and he'll always be in my prayers.

Dear Judy, Sandy and Jason,
Our hearts break with yours over the loss of Zach. Even though we are miles apart, our deepest sympathy and love are with you at this time. Love Marshall and Ricky

Foreman Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Zach. Our daughter, Jennifer, was a friend and classmate of Zach's from Charles Quentin and Middle School South. She speaks of how he always had a smile on his face, his positive attitude, great sense of humor and kindness towards others. Zach was a great person and he will be missed. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
The Anderson Family
Bob, Maria, Jennifer, Katherine and Tina

Foreman Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Zach was just a great person to begin with. I was in the plays with him and I just always remember his smiling face and making everyone around him laugh. Again, I am so sorry and you and your family will stay in my our hearts and prayers.

Dear Judy, Sandy and Jason,
We send our heartfelt sympathy to you for the loss of Zach.
It is no coincidence that Zach was such a delightful young man, because he was raised by a wonderful, loving family.
We share your grief and wish to convey our support, prayers and love.
Wally, JoLynn, Chris and Natalie Holzwart and Rose Wyatt

Dear Sandy, Judy and Jason:
All these entries from friends and family show what a special person Zachary was and how much he affected
those who knew him.
I had the fortunate chance of meeting him once and have heard many stories of Zach from his father Sandy and can see the love and admiration he had in his eyes when he talked about his family. May you take some comfort in knowing what a wonderful person he was and what a great job you did as parents. He will not be forgotten. My heart and prayers go out to you in this very difficult time.
May his memory be eternal.
G-D bless!
Vickie and Steve Syreggelas

To the Foreman Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Zachary.My heart truly aches for you.I pray God gives you all strength during this very trying time.

Judy and Sandy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't personally know Zach but EVERYONE that knew him had nothing but nice things to say about him.

Sandy, Judy and Jason:
There are no words to express how saddened we are by your loss. We will always remember Zach's smile. All of you matter to us. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Zach and I played on the same football team three years ago. He was a great player and I looked up to him. He always had something funny to say even when we were loosing. I will never forget how Zach always had a smile on his face. I will miss him dearly.

I didn't know Zach as much as I would have liked to, I now regret that. I played football with Zach a few years back. He was always one of the big kids to me and I looked up to him especially on defense, he was just unstopable. I still can't belive it. My heart and prayers go out to him and his family. He was a great kid, I just wish I had gotten to know him better.

Dear Judy, Sandy and Jason,
Our hearts are filled with such sadness and there are no words to describe how deeply sorry we are at the loss of your precious Zach. We are grateful for the times we have spent together and we will miss his smile, and the sparkle in his eyes. We know he was such a cherished son, loving brother, and friend to all he met. May all of your wonderful memories give you strength each day. Your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Please know that we are here for you, at any time. Zach will forever remain in our our hearts.
With Love,
Debbi, David, Jamie, Jason, and Jessy Weil

Judy, Sandy and Jason, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time of loss.

Sandy and Judy,
All our thoughts and prayers are with you both during this most difficult time. We are thinking of you both, wishing you strenght and support. Sandi and Rodd Lisit-Stein

Zach will pass my mind everyday for the rest of my life. He was so good-natured and warm-hearted, it's obviously not fair what happened. I'm so sorry for your loss, you're all in my prayers. You raised an amazingly great person and should always be proud. May he Rest In Peace and get the good he deserves.
Zach I love you<3

Dear Judy, Sandy & Jason,
We are so deeply saddened to hear of your tragic loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and forever will be.

DEAR JUDY SANDY AND JASON: ALTHOUGH WE NEVER MET ZACK WE HEARD HE WAS A AMAZING YOUNG MAN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU STRENGTH AT THIS TIME.OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. FONDLY JERRY AND JANIE WEIN

Judy and Sandy
I can't express how sorry we are about Zach. But I can tell you how much I enjoyed coaching and being around Zach. He was always a pleasure. Always had a smile on his face. I will never forget the one time he told me that he was being triple teamed and getting his but kicked and laughing about it. Of course I told him that that ment two other people were not being blocked. I will miss him dearly.

Sincerely The Sayre's

Dear Judy, Sandy & Jason,
Our family was so sadden by the tragic loss of Zach. His radiant smile, loving personality and comical wit was such as added bonus to the family. He will be truly missed by our family and all the wonderful memories we had with him will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during these very difficult times. We love you all.

Love,

Foreman

Zach was one of those students that you just know will achieve greatness in life. Although Zach’s time was short, he still managed to demonstrate to everyone around him what he truly loved to do: make people laugh. Three simple words that he took to heart every single day, no matter what the situation may be. I could always count on Zach to lead the class in a discussion of just about everything and anything, although, LOST, was one of his favorite topics to discuss, and I must admit, it was one of mine as well. Zach was a creative force beyond his years, always smiling and giggling. No matter what the assignment was Zach always managed to put his own twist on it, and make it a “production” for all to see. I will never forget Zach and Ross’ Movie Critique that brought down the whole library, or the “musical” they did for our team Poetry Slam. Having Zach in LA and Literature was truly a memorable experience for me, and I am so grateful to have had the chance to have been his teacher. Thank you for raising such an exceptional, young man. Zach will be missed greatly.

Judy and Sandy,
There is so much love in our hearts for you. We, along with everyone, are heartbroken. We can't think of anything but you and what you are going through. We are praying to God that he gives you strength.
Love, Tina & Scott

Zach was such a great person. He was such a nice guy. He was friendly and sweet. When I heard the news I was so shocked. I will miss him. R.I.P. Zach.

To the Foreman Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Everyone i talk to says that Zach was an amazing person.Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time.

Dear Judy, Sandy and Jason,
There are no words that can possibly express how we feel about your loss of Zach. In remembering Zach, we can see the twinkle in his eyes, the smile on his face and all the clowning around he always did. What a wonderful person he was. May these fond memories as well as others always give you strength and peace knowing he was so special. Zach will always have a special place in our hearts. Please know that you can call us any time, day or night, as we will be there for the three of you.
All our Love,
Marla and Perry

Dear Judy-
My family and I visit your dental office regularly, and you are always there to greet us with your warm smile. We have always spoken about our children, and I feel as though I knew your boys, although I have never met them. I am so sorry to hear about Zach, and I wish I had met him. I have heard that he touched many hearts. Some people accomplish less in 80 years than Zach did in his short life. May God bless you all.
Paul Brook & Family

zach was a good kid from school to sports and a great friend
Ill miss u on the field court and at school
youll never be forgotin

Zach was amazing, he made everything seem more fun, more exciting. he couldn't of been nicer. you were an amazing friend zach. you changed our views on lives. i'm really going to miss you zach!

Words can’t express how sorry I was to hear the news about Zach. It was my pleasure to have Zach as a student this past year in both social studies and in homeroom. He was an exceptional student and always had the ability to make his classmates and me laugh on a regular basis. There are many things I will remember about Zach like his sense of responsibility for his school work and the relationships he created with many different types of students. Other examples are when Zach was the “foreman” in our Assembly Line activity, the many videos that he participated in for LA and SS projects, and his musical poem that he performed with Ross- it really did deserve a perfect 10. I will also remember always being able to count on a smile on Zach’s face when he walked into the room. He will be missed!

Dear Foreman Family,

We were saddened to hear of the tragic loss of your dear son, Zach.
We had the privilege of meeting Zach and your family at several social events, at the home of Dan and Robyn Sopocy & family. We know that Zach was our nephew, Brett Sopocy's very good friend. We too remember the smile and pleasant personality of your dear son Zach.
Brett and the Sopocy family spoke of him often and very positively.
In life there are times when it is impossible to understand or explain why tragedies happen; this is clearly one of those times, for your family. In reading the nine pages of condolences that came before ours and seeing the outpouring of sympathy and love at Zach's funeral, it is infinitely clear, that Zach was an exceptional young man, who had a positive impact on many, many lives. Our heartfelt condolences to your family. We will continue praying and know God will sustain and strengthen your family in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.
May God bless Zach and your family and keep you in His loving arms forever.
Sincerely, The Finney Family

Zach was one of the most amazing kids that I ever met, and I am glad to have met him. He was always smiling whether it was just walking in the halls or at lunch or anywhere he went and that smile was contagious. I know that he made me laugh whenever I needed it. My heart goes out to the Foreman family along with my prayers.

Zach was such an amazing guy. I've known him since 1st grade, and we were best buds. We grew apart because I moved around so much, but everytime I saw him he was such a great guy to be around. He was always smiling and even though we were basically strangers, made me feel like it was just another day on the park at Charles Quentin. He will be missed.

Zach was one of the greatest people I have met. He always had a smile on his face and made Math one of my favorite subjects. I will never forget him. He has impacted my life and was has become one of my really good friends and I will miss him forever.

Even though I didn't know Zach very well, I felt like I did becuase of everything people said about it or the few times we talked during First in Line. He was hilarious. In First in Line, I always made sure I was in the room when he was rehearsing the restarunt scene becuase I knew it would make me laugh. I remember that one time during the play, he asked to borrow my back pack for a scene. I will never get rid of the backpack, knowing that such an amzing person that left beind incedibe memories for all of us used it. He truly is an inspiration to me and many others and we will never forget the terrible trajedy. Zach was also a role model, and had a amzing personality. He wasn't most boys, he was sweet and he wasn't cocky or ever mean to anyone. My prayers go out to his mom, dad, and brother. Zach is always watching over us and will certainly never be forgotten.

Zach was one of Colin's very best friends, but my whole family enjoyed his company whenever he came to our house. I was always envious of Zach's natural ability to talk and laugh with anyone, a characteristic I can only hope to aspire to. Zach left quite an imprint on me, and I already miss him dearly.

Jason and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Although I never had the privelege to meet Zach, I know he was a very special person. Please know that he will continue to be loved, honored, and remembered.

Ive played football with Zach for the last three years and he was one the nicest and funniest kid on the field. He was the middle linebacker, the leader of the defense. And he was a great leader both on and off the field. I will miss him a lot and my heart goes out to you Foreman family.

Sandy Judy, and Jason, Theres no words to say to express our saddness. Your family is an incredible unit, so much to be proud of. Jason I did not get a chance to hug you at the house-our prayers are with you all at this very sad time. We will all miss our Zach.

Zach Foreman was an amazing kid! He was in my spanish class and never did we have a boring day with him. He always brought so much joy into everything. Zach was here for a short time, but in that time, he's made a HUGE impact on all of us. The Foreman family and Zach are in my prayers.

Zach was one of the greatest guys in the world. He was always nice and funny. He will be missed very much by everyone who knew or knew of him.

I only knew and talked to Zach during the school play but even in that short time, I've realized how incredible his heart was and what an amazing person he was. I think we all need people like Zach Foreman in our lives and I'm blessed to have known him. My heart goes out to the Foreman family and my prayers are with them always.

To the Foreman Family,
Zach was probably the nicest person I have ever met. He would always make you smile if you were sad or entertain you if you were bored. I remember one time, right before our play "First In Line" started, everyone was nervous and tense. All of the sudden Zach cracked a joke and we all started laughing. I will miss him so much. I will never forget him.

Zach was a person who was just plain fun to be around. MSS's "First In Line" was an awesome production due to the humor he brought to it. I'll never forget the scene where he wore the hawian skirt. My heart goes out to him and his family. Always praying.

Zach was one of the best kids i have ever met. he kept me smiling no matter what. when i had a hard day at school he always cheered me up. each day was a blessing to have him around. i am going to miss him so much. <3

To Zach's family: I only met Zach once, but I know many of his friends. He was an a,azing person, and we have been wearing black at our play practices to honor him. your loss was a horrible one, and we all wish you well.

Foreman Family,
I just read about what happened.
I just sobbed after reading it.
I am so sorry. I heard Zachary was such a wonderful kid. I send my condolences to your family.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. My son Michael played basketball with Zach and I will always remember Zach's smiling face while he was playing on the court. May all your wonderful memories ease the sorrow that you feel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Judy, Sandy and Jason,
Words alone cannot adequately express our sorrow. Our hearts are aching for you. Zach was such an amazing young man-full of life, love and a beautiful spirit. His good nature, compassion, and sensitivity were an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him. Although there is nothing anyone can say to help ease your pain, just know that in his young life, Zach touched countless others. We truly loved and admired him. His infectious smile has left an indelible print in our hearts.
All our love,
Steve, Lisa Adam and Jared

Judy, Sandy, & Jason-
We really never got the pleasure of meeting Zach, but from everything we have heard and read he seemed like one AMAZING person. We know there really are no words to lend that will be of comfort in this trying time,but please know that you will ALL be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers!!

To the Foreman family,
I didn't know Zach all that well but I still knew that he was an amazing person. Even though we were not friends he would talk to me and smile at me and that made me realize that he truly was one of the nicest kids I'd ever meet. I'm sorry for your loss but I want you to know that you and Zach are in my prayers.

Zach was a great kid.
He was always smiling.
It is such a disaster what happened to him.
R.I.P.
He Will Be Missed

I've known Zach since the third grade and ever since then I can't remember a time where he wasn't smiling. He always made me laugh, and i would do anything to see his smile once again. My deepest condolences to the foreman family in this time of sorrow, but know that your son was an inspirational figure to us all and he will be missed terribly.

I met Zach in 5th grade through football, it was my first year playing the sport and everytime that i was confused and the other kids thought i was an idiot Zach stepped aside and helped or explained it to me. I wasn't his best friend but now I realize what he ment to me, he gave me the determination and mind set to go for what you want and dont settle for anything less, Zach I love you and will see you one day for now watch out for me, Love you

Zach was a student that every teacher wants in class. He came every day with a great sense of humor, amazing work ethic, and kindness. Although I taught him in seventh grade, I enjoyed our times he came back to chat this year. Zach had a plethora of friends and made an impact wherever he went. He was a positive role model to both his peers and adults. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching Zach and he will be greatly missed. Your family will be in my prayers as you go through this tough time.

Wow.
Zach was such an amazing person. I still cant believe this happened. I wasn't that close to him, i just knew him a little from school, or i heard about the nice things he did from other people. Not to long ago, i hung out with him at 6 flags with some other people and it didnt seem like in a few weeks after that he would be gone.
Im going to keep Zach, and his family in my prayers.
Zach--you'll be missed, loved, but NEVER forgotten <3

Dear Foreman family,
While there are no words of comfort that can take away from your loss of Zachary, may all the love of our community touch each of your hearts in a special way. My daughter had the pleasure of participating in the school play and she said Zach always had a smile on his face and made everyone laugh. She also said Zach was always kind to her. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Kathy, Beccy & Danielle Jones

I didn't really know Zach but he played basketball baseball and football in the same organizations as me. He always had a smile on his face whenever i saw him. He will be missed by many people and I know i will miss him.

Zach was an amazing boy. It's still so hard to understand he is gone, yet never forgetten. I had a great bond with him and he helped me with anything. I could trust him with everything and knew he would never break that trust. He will be greatly missed

Oh Zach, what can i say. You truly were an amazing person. You alway had that great big smile on your face. I will always remember the laughs and great times we had in First In Line. Whenever i was with you backstage you would always make me laugh no matter what. You definitely will be missed. I am praying for you and your family and you will always be in my heart.

Oh Zach, what can i say you truly were an amazing person. You always had that great big smile on your face and i will never forget it.I will always remember all the laughs and times that we had in First In Line. Whenever i was near you, you would always make me laugh no matter what. I am praying for you and your family and you will always be in my heart.

I didnt know him to well... but my friends knew him... they talked about him all the time and about how nice of a guy he was... so im praying for him and his family.
R.I.P Zach

Kelly Wilson and Kristen Donaldson

Zach was my best friend and the nicest guy i have ever met. Zach taught me how to be a better person and he would always tell me how much he wanted for me. i am going to take what he gave me and accomplish what he wanted to make him proud. he will never leave my heart and my prayers go out the the foreman family. Zach told me so much about you all, unfortunately we never got a chance to meet, but i know we will meet soon. you are all in my prayers and you should be amazingly proud for raising such an amazing boy.

Judy and Sandy,
There are no words at a time like this, but know that you are in our prayers. Our deepest sympathy to your entire family. May Zach's name be for a blessing.
Fondly,
Terri (Katznelson - Schecter) Berman and Family

Though Zach was not a student I had in class, I knew him well. Kids always asked if we were related, and sometimes we played along and said that we were. I often joked with him that he was the "2nd coolest Foreman in the school." Zach was an amazing kid who will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Zach's family and friends.

Loosing such a great kid was hard for all of us who knew Zach. He really did touch each and every one of our hearts. He showed people what a good roll model was. He always had a smile on his face and I don't think I've ever seen that kid in a bad mood. He could crack a smile among anybody's face without a doubt. I will miss Zach dearly and he will cross my heart and mind everyday.

I knew Zach as the kid who was in Mr. Chopra's nineth period math class. I knew Zach as the funny boy who had been in school with me since Elementary School. I knew him as the type of person to get through school with determination and laughs. Zach didn't leave this earth without having made an impact on almost every person who knew him. Through Zach, we can learn never to hold back and to live our lives to the fullest. I can't begin to express how sorry I am for the Foreman's and for everyone who knew Zach. We all know what it's like to lose a family memeber or a friend, and we're sorry. We'll miss Zach.

The Foreman Family,
First off we want to start by saying that Zach was an amazing kid. He was intelligent and had a bright future ahead of him. There wasn't a day when he wasn't smiling or helping someone out. Even though we weren't friends for very long he taught us so much about life and friendship. He was someone you always knew you could go to for help. We give you our deepest sympathy and condolences in this time of tradgedy and we want to thank you for raising such a special kid like Zach who has impacted us all.

Dear Sandy, Judy and Jason -

I am so sorry for your loss. I loved babysitting for Zach when he was little - he always put a smile on my face and kept me laughing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Judy,Sandy & Jason,
I was terribly saddened to hear of the loss of Zach. My heart goes out to your family & my thoughts & prayers are with you. May G-d bless you with the strength you need as this time. I'm so sorry.

We cannot adaquately put our feelings into words that make any sense of the tragedy that has befallen your wonderful family. Our hearts are breaking with sorrow, and yet we can do no more than to pray to G-D to help ease your pain and sorrow...and we shall. Sadly, Gigi & Myles Dimand and family

Zach was an amazing person and friend.I was lucky enough to become close friends with him this year.He is honestly an inspiration.Zach is in my prayers everyday.I'm so sorry for your loss.

i had a beyond wonderful year with zach on my bus. our friendship gradually grew over the year and i am so grateful for that. he always had nice things to say about everyone, even if he didnt like them as much. he was so fun to hang around and i never had a dull moment with him. i can definatly consider him one of my closer best friends and i will miss him terribly. i would just like you to know that your family will always be close to my heart and in my prayers.

I've only known Zach for a short time. I help coach on his baseball team this year. I liked Zach from the first time I met him. He was a wonderful kid and a heck of ball player. I only wish I would have known him longer. Everyone I've spoken to all say the same things, happy, funny smart, always smileing, always willing to help and just an all around great kid. By attending the furneral today I was able to see just how much he meant to so many people. Friends, teachers and of course family. He's was a great kid and I'm sure his memory will live on with all of us for a very long time....He will be missed deeply.

Sandy, Judy and Jason,
Our thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow. Words can not express the sympathy we have for you and your entire family. God must have needed another angel, because that's what Zach was.

rest in peace zach, and god bless you. you have made such an impact on everyones lives, you will never be forgotten!!!

Zach was a good friend of our nephew, Brett. We've heard many wonderful stories of Zach over the years as well as have seen him play at ball games and family gatherings. He was a wonderful young man who was a gift to those who were lucky enough to know him. A person as special as Zach could only come from a good family - very loving parents who guided him well. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sandy & Judy: Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this sad time. Daniel was lucky enough to have Zach on 2 of his BGRA teams and I had the privelage of being one of the coaches on the 9 year old team. He truly was a pleasure to coach. I remember his sunny disposition and laugh. He seemed to have a perpetual smile on his face. We hope memories such as these can keep your hearts warm and give you strength. He touched many lives in such a short period of time.

Best regards,

The Recht Family

Zach was a kind kid. I didnt really know him very well. He was very friendly and was funny. I feel very sorry for the foreman family. Having to deal with a loss of a family member. My family prayers also go out to his family.

Zach was always so nice and smiling and just a happy kid, and its so sad that something like this would ever, or could ever happen to anyone we know. You never know how much someone really means until they're gone. I'm so sorry for the loss

Zach was an amazing kid. He always had a smile on his face and I never saw him be mean to anyone. Zach was everything you would want in a friend. My prayers go out to you.
