Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hock (and Family):

Even 12 years later, I still think about my friendship with Aaron, and cannot help but wonder what the world would be like, if he was still with us. As young as Aaron was, he had a lot of knowledge about a lot of different subjects, and a tremendous amount of talent. If he was still with us, by now I'm sure he probably would have found himself a nice girl, and been settled down with a family of his own. While Heaven is definitely a wealthier place for having his presence, it doesn't make things any easier for those of us he's left behind. I'm sure holidays and anniversaries are difficult at times, but I hope you find solace and peace in the thought that you'll all be reunited someday.

Kathy and Doug,
My family sends our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I don't think anyone can fully grasp what your loss must feel like, but it sure has made me hold my sons a little closer, longer, and tighter. I know how much your children mean to you from our talks at the doctor's office.
May God be with you all and may you find comfort in His love and mercy.
The Jones Family (Jim, Tammy, Elijah and Sean)

Aaron was always quiet and a hard worker at Andersen Logistics. I am saddened to lose a good coworker who had lots of potential. Third shift will not be the same without him.
