Editorial: Grieving mother s strength offers shining example | Local

As a parent, it’s hard to imagine anything more devastating than the loss of a child. That’s what makes Sweet Home resident Rachel Maynard’s story so remarkable. Last July, Maynard was at Lewis Creek Park with her family and friends when tragedy struck. Her son Zachary and his friend Kennedy Swenson, both 6, were playing in Foster Reservoir when a jet ski came barreling into the roped-off swimming area and struck the two children. Witnesses reported that Zachary saw the out-of-control watercraft coming and tried to push his playmate out of the way. Both children were badly injured and were rushed to the hospital by helicopter. While Kennedy eventually was discharged to continue her recovery at home, Zachary didn’t make it. He died three days later.
