Pictures of Enzo's Memorial Service

On October 6, 2010, 6-month old Enzo was in a car accident with his parents and older brother and sister. Almost 48 hours later, he went home to be with Jesus. This blog is run by his family members and is our way of sharing our grief and hope with everyone who cares to visit. We rejoice in knowing that one day we will be reunited with Enzo in eternity!

A word from Papa

One special moment at the memorial service last week was when my dad (Zo's Papa) read a letter he had written to Zo. There was hardly a dry eye in the church, and my dad could hardly read it for his tears - but he was determined to read it himself, and he did. Here is the letter (grab some Kleenex):

Hi Zozo, my dear little Grandson, you had only 6 months on this earth,
but I had grown even more attached to you than I had thought and more precious. 

I have never cried so hard nor
so often before your young life was cut short. 

I will miss your cute little smile that you would show me whenever I called your name or whenever I would play peek-a-boo with you. 

When they took you away in the ambulance, I thought, “you will be ok, -
God and the doctors will make your owie better.”

But the doctors said your owie might be too big to fix. 
So I prayed really hard -  your Nana prayed really hard. 
So did your Mommy & Daddy. 
And a whole lot of other people from all over the world. 

Your Mommy kept asking you to come back to us. 
I also heard your Mommy say “I never gave up on you baby.”

But, I guess Jesus had other plans for you. 
Jesus wanted you to be with him.

I wished I could have played catch with you here on the earth, but I will have to wait until I get to heaven to play catch with you.

While my heart is very, very sad today,
I have joy knowing that I will be with you again.

I love you Enzo,
Your Papa.

  3. Even though I don't know any of the Williams family I am just so thank-full that Enzo is with the Lord and when I heard this happened I was crying so hard that it looked like my face was a cherry because when ever I cry my face gets red. I just and so thank-full that he was that only one that died and that he is now with the Lord.

    I give all my praise to Enzo and his family. I may not be a mother but I know what it's like to lose someone you love.

    When I lost my brother I was so sad I could not sleep for almost a whole week and when ever I wake up, He is the first thing I think of.

    Love:Lauren Foresha
    Just a person who is sorry for the William's family.
