AJ was such a special person to all of us in the choir and you could feel the spirit he had when he was around us. His favorite song was I Shall Wear a Crown and the Last Mile of the Way. While we all loved AJ but God loved him more. He has walked his last mile of the way and he is now wearing that Crown he always talked about. He will be missed but he is now with the father in that heavenly choir.

To The Family,
For the short time I knew you all, I found you to be very loving to your husband and father. As I told your dad it was hard to forget him, as he shared the same birthday with my Mom. Rally around Mom and allow God to be your healer and comforter
