Aaron, I am so terribly saddened by this news for you and Abby. I cant imagine what you are going through. My heart is broken for you all. I am honored to have known her and worked with her. She was amazing and not only did we share an office, we shared so many laughs. She is heavens newest angel and can meet Jason's dad. He is right up there with her!
