Memories

From Tonia

Your love was a blessing. Your life was a testimony. You never wanted to be in the spotlight. You always wanted to put others before yourself, and that was how you lived your life. It was my joy to make you happy and to take care of you. I miss you everyday many times a day. I remember your presence and how it made me feel. We worked together and only became stronger and closer through it all. I never questioned your love for me and you never questioned mine. We planned for the long haul and looked forward to doing it together. The Lord called you home and I may never know why. I trust that when I get there, if I need to know I will, or maybe, it will no longer matter. All I know is what is left in my heart and the legacy you leave behind. Your life to us was way to short and I watched you fight so hard. I also watched you let go, and you were my leader in life till the end of yours, just as you promised. Aaron, your voice and heart were heard when it was all said and done. You finished strong and with victory! I will see you again and when we do we will have no worries, no fear, no regrets, no pain, only joy and peace. Till then I hold you in my heart.

From Mrs. Birkett

Audrey, I never met your dad, but he must have been a wonderful father to have raised such a terrific young lady as you. I admire the faith and maturity you showed during the last few months during what had to be a difficult time for you, trying to keep up with school and spending as much time with him as you could. I remember what a great time you had hunting with your dad last fall, and I enjoyed reading your written descriptions of that special trip, which I know you will hold as a favorite memory that will keep your dad close in your heart. The class and I miss you and we hope you received our cards. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We hope we will get the chance to see you again. Take care.

From Alex Lissner

My deepest condolences to the family. I feel terrible to say that I didn't know that Aaron was battling cancer. Maybe its because I haven't spoken to him in almost 20 years. Aaron, you had such an amazing smile and you were always such a gentleman. But you also had a wild side and loved to drive your Firebird and the big blue truck a little crazy. I know that your younger siblings looked up to you and I remember you being very kind to your mother. It saddens me to find out that your time here on earth was cut so short. But I know that Gods timing is always perfect and ALL things work together for good according to His plan. You will truly be missed. Rest In Peace my friend.
