Aaron Chase Arnold

I just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, it has meant alot to our family and please continue to pray for us. This is the first time I have visited the guestbook only because it is so hard, but everyone's letters have meant so much to me. It was and still is a GREAT honor and privilege to be his sister and I hope and pray that my son grows up to be just like him. I myself also strive to be like him. We will miss him very much!!!!

We just wanted to thank everyone for your prayers and support during this very difficult time in our lives. There are no words to express how much that mean to us. We thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts and hope that you will continue to keep us in your prayers during these next few months. As time passes it almost seems as it gets more difficult, we miss Aaron so much and only wish that he were here to spend more time with us but God has so many other plans for him. We just know...

Dear Arnold Family:
Though nothing can take away the pain of what you are experiencing currently, I wanted to share my one encounter with Aaron with his family in hopes that it may at least bring a smile to your face during this very difficult time. I met Aaron once at Olive Garden. My mom and I were treating ourselves to a manicure/pedicure at a place across the parking lot and went to Olive Garden for lunch. Aaron was our waiter. We shared so much during that time. He was so...

I am very sorry to hear of your great loss. I hear that Aaron was a wonderful young man of God and was making a difference in people's lives. I was asked by Louise to leave the information for the bereavement group we are beginning at my web site, but since the room is entered by password, I really can't do that here. If you will write to me at the email address below, I will be glad to share this information with you.

Father, please comfort this family during this time of sorrow and...

Mr. and Mrs. Arnold,
I have been wanting to write this to you since I heard of your son's death. My daughters and I had lunch at Olive Garden one day this summer because someone had given us a gift certificate. Your son was our waiter. When we heard his name mentioned in reference to the shooting, we automatically knew it was our waiter. We knew that because your son spent time with us on that summer afternoon talking to me and my girls. I am 42 years old and he complimented me on how...

I too am grieved by the loss of your beloved son Aaron. I lost my precious son John in July, 2005. If I can help in any way, please e-mail me. Sincerly, Nell

I'M VERY SORRY FOR THE LOSE OF YOUR LOVE ONE, I ALSO HAVE A SON THAT JUST TWENTY YEARS OLD, I CAN NOT IMAGINE HOW YOU MAY BE FEELING, I DID NOT KNOW ARNOLD, BUT I HAVE TALK TO PEOPLE THAT DO AND HE WAS A GREAT PERSON, I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS, MAY GOD KEEP YOU AND YOURS IN HIS LOVING CARE, AND REMEMBER HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US.

Aaron was so special to all of us. I am truly blessed to have known him and to have shared his life with him. From the moment I became friends with Aaron at the Cheesecake Bistro I knew I had found a unique, special friend. What an amazing guy he was. I will never forget him and all the things he taught me. Aaron was genuinely an angel on earth.

My sweet Arnold family, I am grieving with you over the loss of our precious Aaron. We are praying for you and are available to you for anything you need. Just a short time before this, Aaron on a Wed. night came up behind me and said guess who? of course I knew and we hugged and I told him he was getting to handsome. I told him I loved him and we hugged. I miss him but I know we will see him again.
