We were so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear son/brother Aaron. Words fail me as to how you might be comforted in this time of such great sorrow. Just know that you are all in our prayers and if there is anything we can do for you – even down the road – please let us know. The only comfort I can think of is that Aaron is at peace and with God where he will have no worries and no struggles. Keep the good memories close.
