Prayers and heartfelt condolences to all Zane's family and friends. It was a privilege to have taught this enthusiastic and sensitive young man at Siena. I was inspired by his openness and carefree spirit always respectful of others views while generous in sharing his own. Blessings to all at this time of loss.

Dear Lauren & Family,
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

"Some people come into our lives,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never the same."

Zane will be greatly missed but his warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit will be remembered forever. Love, Claire
