This is a slideshow I made commemorating the life of our son, Christopher Zack, who passed away May 21, 2009. Please feel free to comment. Featuring Into the West from the Lord of the Rings - Return of the King written by Howard Shore, Annie Lennox and Fran Walsh, performed at the Funeral Mass celebrated by Father Michael Cremin by Andrea Ford (Vocals and Piano) and produced and recorded by Andrew Falk (Drums) and also Gandalf Falls from The Fellowship of the Ring composed by Howard Shore and graciously supplied by the Smartguy815.
Thanks to all!
Ken Zack

  • What a beautiful guy. It seems all the good ones die too young.

    What is the name of the last song? IT is so beautiful.

  • @ricardo522042

    Thank you for your nice comment. We truly miss him.

    The last song is from the Fellowship of the Ring. Check out the following excerpts from the movie that others have posted; one with just the music - Gandalfs Fall by Smartguy815, and one with the music and the dialogue - LOTR Fly, you Fools! by Penny Smart.

    Peace!

  • @TheZackkl

    Thank you soooooo much. What an awesome song.  I know one is not supposed to ask, but if you don't mind ... did he pass suddenly? Hate to ask, but sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me.

    I can't believe a song is this beautiful, not only with the words but/and the music also.

    Please take care and may God always be with you and your family.

  • @ricardo522042

    It is a very emotional song. Sad but yet somehow peaceful. We enjoyed watching the LOTR series so it seemed liked an obvious choice.

    The best they could surmise from the autopsy is that sometime during the course of his life, Chris was exposed to an antigen that mimicked certain cells of his brain. His immune system began attacking the antigen and consequently also cells of his brain resulting in gradual lose of skeletal muscle function, similar to multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He finally succumbed after about a 7 year battle.

  • I apologize for the choppiness of the audio, I am not quite sure what went wrong.

    That is so sad. I am so sorry. I know it is so sad to lose a child. Know that he was beautiful and that Heaven is more beautiful now that he has arrived. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in emailing me and letting me know. I really thank you for sharing your sight with not only me, but the rest who are blessed to see it. And the song really touches my soul every time I hear it. Please take care of yourself and your family.

    Sue just told me about the video today. It was very touching.

  • The tears in my eyes have said more than words could ever say! Peace to you and yours for a grand tribute! B. Grey

  • Thank you for sharing. Very nice job - I know how hard you've worked on this. I hope that the project itself proved therapeutic. Sure is evidence that none of us really know what God's plans are.

  • A very lovely and moving tribute! It was a wonderful to see Chris at varios stages of his life!
