Not sure what to say?

Sometimes, I feel you drifting away from me. I remember you in patches of sunlight and hazy feelings more than memories. I am trying to be brazen but life has a way of seeping through the cracks.

Dear Silitch Family, I am not quite sure how I came across this news and just have no words to describe what I have now come to understand. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. These are such small words for such a bright light.

Nicky and family- I am an old friend of Ian and Nicks from Dublin School days. I'm not sure how or why I stumbled upon this today at work but I had to reach out. I am so very sorry for your unimaginable loss. Beautiful boy...Please know my heart aches for you and you are in my prayers.

I started climbing at Brooklyn Boulders some years ago and remember seeing Aiden around when he was just starting out. He regularly used to rope climb with a young lady and I recall thinking that they two of them were such nice kids. Fast-forward a couple years and I was amazed and how accomplished a climber he had become in such a short period of time. I've watched him a number of times putting down some incredibly hard routes with intense focus followed by a humility and happiness. My heart...

Dear Nick and Regina,
We are heartbroken. We feel a strong connection with you both and send our prayers and love. Larry and Tami Horowitz

Aiden was always smiling, always laughing. He was a beautiful soul who cared deeply about his passions and his friends. The happiness and enthusiasm that he brought to anything that he did was always truly remarkable, admirable, and inspirational. Though he is gone, his positivity, his energy, and his impact on my life and countless other lives will remain forever.

Dear Silitch's. I met Aidan at the Cliffs in LIC where my son was a teammate of Aidan's. We can scarcely imagine your loss. Aidan was an inspiring young man, motivating others with his generosity and positivity. My son and I will wear our Team Aidan shirts with pride and fond memories.
