“On October 4th, 2020, our beautiful Zara Lynn Scruggs was taken from us by a monster. She deserved to grow up. She deserved to be with her family. She deserved all the amazing things in this world.

She didn’t deserve to die at the young age of 10 months.

Instead of speaking on her death, we would rather talk about how much she touched us. In 10 short months, she sparked so much joy. She was smart. She was silly. She was sassy. She was perfect. She was a beautiful baby and brought so much beauty into hundreds of lives. She brought us together, and we will fight for her forever. This page is to showcase the light that Zara sparked within all of us.

As you can imagine, her mother is grieving. We want to ensure that she is comfortable during this time and does not have to worry about any financial burdens associated with losing her child, including a memorial, moving costs, supporting Erica while she is out of work, and starting a foundation to remember our beautiful Zara.”
