I work for the same company that Aaron worked for. I am just 3 months younger than Aaron and in much the same situation. This tragedy weighs so heavy on my heart. My thoughts and prayers will be with you always. Please remember to always look forward and keep moving. If you stop to look back the road will only get tougher. God is with Aaron now and may they both lead you forward
