“On 20th January a man drove through Melbourne city, killing and hurting people, including our two-year-old toddler Zara and our three-month-old son, Zachary.”
“Our beautiful Zara is in a stable condition, however Zachary, our son, did not survive.”
“He was the most beautiful, loving, happy and perfect little baby we were so lucky to be gifted with. He was the light of our lives constantly filling our days with smiles and laughs. He leaves us with the best three month and 14 days of wonderful memories spent in this world.”
“Zac, Mummy and Daddy love you very much, and always will.”
The grieving family also wished to thank everyone for the unwavering support they had received since the tragic incident and asked that people keep Zara in their prayers.
