Dear Greta, hi there it's Jeannie (Strait, but I still go by 'Walker'), I was so happy to see your name on my email!

I hate to even ask the dreaded question 'how are you?', knowing you could be truly weary of trying to find the right answer to that one. Please write me whenever you feel like it, and let me know how you are feeling, what you're up to, anything at all, okay?

Of course you know that we buried Fern's ashes not so very long ago. While at cemetery that day, I once again put flowers on your beautiful daughter's grave as well, (and for Aaron too right there with her.)

After the graveside service we went to the Frederick-owned bar, Frontrunners, to eat tenderloins and talk before Joni, Larry and I made the journey back home. It was great to see everyone and look through old photos together, ones that both Kerry Mack and aunt Jewel had brought. So many great memories. I loved Fern very much, she was always so good to me when I was a little girl. I don't remember if you were in the family yet when my dad got hurt water-skiing, but I told Kerry the story of staying at their farm while dad was in critical condition, (I was about 10)....and of after a few days there, I began crying my eyes out because I just had to see my dad, (those were the days when kids couldn't visit in hospitals!)....and how Fern didn't minimize my heartache or try to talk me out of it, but instead got hold of grandma who in turn finagled with the nuns sneaking me up the back stairs at St Jo Hospital so I could see him for just a few minutes. I will be grateful all my life to Fern for that one thing alone.

Will wait to hear from you, and then we can talk a bit more, either on line, or even on the phone if you should want to. Please know that you too are one of those important people who helped make my childhood better and brighter. I adored you really, and as an adult I was kind of amazed to think back and remember how you always listened to me when I was a teen and pre-teen, really listened. You made me feel like I mattered.
I loved your laughter, your generous heart. And I thank you Greta for being so fun and so loving to me all those years ago. One never forgets these sorts of things in the journey thru life. I'm 58 now so I appreciate many things that I once took for granted.

Sending you a huge hug thru cyberspace,
love, Jeannie

Dear Greta and Dak and Kenny and Aunt Fern and Kerry and all your family,

We had the annual Frederick reunion in Ollie yesterday, and that's when I learned of Aaron's death. I felt stunned by the news and so saddened. It hasn't been that long ago that we saw all of you at the reunion.... July 2004 maybe? I never dreamed I wouldn't see Aaron again, and I can't stand to think of the hurt you have endured. Larry and Joni and I had just gone to the Frederick graves yesterday morning before the reunion, and laid flowers for grandma, grandpa, Aunt Bev, Julie, Mack....and for sweet Michele too of course.
Greta and Kenny, I loved your kids so much. They were so beautiful and fun, and I have a million memories of babysitting for them in Ottumwa.
I am so sorry. Please know you are in my heart always and in my prayers especially now. With much love from your Iowa cousin, Jeannie Strait Walker, Winterset, Iowa

THE GIFT OF A SON: No one can count on the future
or know what they someday might do,
But could I have chosen the son that I wanted,
the one I'd have picked would be you.
I'd have wished for your great sense of humor
and dreamed of your spirit and style,
I'd have hoped for your love and affection,
imagined the joy in your crooked little smile..
Life holds some gifts and surprises,
and one of the best there could be
is having a son who's exactly the one
who's already been given to me. You are a joy and
a blessing from God. Love you always MA

You are missed Aaron, and by so many. Thank you for the few times that my family and I were able to enjoy you. Especially the time on Lake Patagonia in the over-sized boat. It made our day! We will smile at the memories.

March 24, 2010

Aaron, you will never know how many lives have been changed by your leaving us. I have always thought of you as a true member of my family and it hurts so to give you up. We will never know why, but know we will see you again one day. love always, Jo Snow "another of the Mom's who loved you like a son."

Tom and Carol, Aaron and Michelle,
Those high school buddies, we knew all too well.
The trials and tribulations for each took life’s path,
We are here today, dealing with the aftermath.

Those crazy kids went their separate ways,
Good times, bad times, life is a maze.
But over time, they migrated back.


Tracy and Aaron fell in love,
living with the Jensens, what were they thinking of?
With racing and parties, those kids grew up fast,
They were never on time, their lives were filled with contrast.

Marie had such potential, RC was a fanatic,
Dak was the golden child, Life was far from static.

Aaron and Dak became a family of one,
Had a good life, just father and son.
Gretta was the boss and then the wife,
FRM and Dak were the center of his life.

We all ached when Dak got hurt,

Aaron never said no with any kind of meaning,
He agreed and smiled, but his life was demeaning.
He wore four hats, and tried his best,
A good looker who knew how to dress!

Aaron was a pleaser who just wanted peace,
He’d do anything to walk way, he’d lube it with grease.

We need to learn from his profound statement,
Pay attention to others; don’t be hell bent.
No alpha female, no dictator nor lover nor son,
provided tranquility in Aaron’s kingdom.

So here we are today, at the beginning,
our hearts are broken, and our theories are spinning.
The only house that Frederick built.

Remember that smile, his gentle demeanor,
To our beloved Aaron, we will see no more.
We are responsible and humiliated by this event,
We hope Aaron is now peaceful and content.

Aaron was kind, charismatic and everybody’s glue,
Aaron was our best friend we never knew,
But I say to his friends, his family, and his brood,
Look up, smile and say with me
...... ROCK ON DUDE

I'm so sorry that this happen. Aaron was a wonderful caring person. I can't picture my or my familys life without him. He was more to me then just a person that dated my mother, he was a great listener and mediator. I personaly wanted to thank him for that , but I waited to long. So Aaron I want you to know that you are one in a millon, and you were the closest thing to a dad I could count on every day. I hope you knew that! You will forever have a place in my heart...
