Not sure what to say?

Dearest Son, It is hard to believe that you have been gone for ten years. In some ways it seems like only yesterday, and in others it seems like forever since we've seen you, Please know you are forever in our thoughts, hearts and minds. Not a day goes by that you are not remembered, loved and missed. I look forward to the day when your Mother and I can hug you and be with you again. I believe you would be proud of how your wife and kids have carried on since your passing. It speaks highly of...

AJ, although you have left my daily life and I miss you so much, I can still feel your presence in my heart and guiding from above. Never having a little brother or a son, you took that spot. The many laughs and good times we all shared will be forever with us, you always had a smile and a cute comment for, as you would say your favorite uncle. Awesome memories flood my mind as I reflect on babysitting you, riding dirt bikes, camping trips, hunting, fishing, water skiing, working...

AJ was my very first grandchild,and I remember the first time I saw him and all the happy times that followed. He did, indeed, light up the room when he entered it. He will be greatly missed each time the family gets together. Rest in peace. AJ. Buncha Notches, Gram

From my earliest memory, I've always admired you and appreciated everything you did. I grew up telling people how lucky I am to have a Father like you. You mean the world to me, and I will always love you with all my heart....Your Son Jaycob.

AJ, our beloved son, your Mother and I love you, and miss you terribly every day. We are proud to have been your parents, and you brought us joy for your entire life. You were a great, fun loving kid, and grew to be an even greater man. We were proud of you your whole life, but especially this last year and a half, as you dealt with the challenges of ALS, without a single complaint, and still had that warm smile. I have never seen anyone meet such adversity with such an undaunting spirit. You...
