Misti Nash lied the first time her son asked about his sister.

Zechariah Nash, 8, lay in a hospital bed with a broken arm, punctured lung, and bleeding in his stomach. Just a few months apart in age, he and sister Zoie Nash, 9, shared a special sibling bond. If you saw one, you saw the other.

Both rode bus No. 366 home from Woodmore Elementary the day it careened off the road and smashed into a tree.

Zoie didn’t survive.
