Use Weierstrass Factorization Theorem to prove $\sinh \pi z=\pi z \prod_{n=1}^{\infty}(1+\frac{z^2}{n^2})$

Here is my idea. $\sinh \pi z=\frac{1}{2}(e^{\pi z}-e^{-\pi z})$, its zeros are $a_n=ni$, and $a_0$ is a zero of order $1$. Since $\forall R>0,$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{R}{|a_n|}\right)^2$ ...
