Saturday February 27 marked the year anniversary of the death of 5-year old Zachary Michael Cruz. His family and friends have kept the stop sign at Warring and Derby — the site of his death — continuously decorated. This weekend pots of yellow tulips and other spring flowers surrounded a picture of Zachary. Three sheets of poster board were tacked to a nearby wall for people to leave comments.

I get teary-eyed every time I drive by this memorial, I have a 4.5 year old and a 3 year old, so my heart just breaks for him and his family. Still so sorry for the loss.
Jennifer: I do the same. It’s heartbreaking. It pains me even to be reminded of this tragedy. But I think it’s worth thinking about, even if it it just reminds us to drive a little more slowly.
