I was thinking of all the friends I've lost and yours was probably the most tragic. I just wanted to say I miss you buddy ...We had a lot of good times together growing up and wish we had a chance to het together again before you left us. I cant believe how long it's been now. I know your parents fought hard for you. Until we meet again...Brandon Boggs

Aaron was a former tenant of ours on Pineapple Avenue. He enjoyed the river so much, when he wasn't working or going to school. May the memories of him always make you smile. Our hearts go out to the whole family.

To all who Loved Aaron,
It was about twenty four years ago when my family moved acrossed the street from Aaron and he walked over and knocked on my door to ask my dad if I could come out and play. It was from that day forward that I had found the best friend that a boy could ever want, we had so much fun playing in the ditch behind our house fishing and just doing all kinds of kid stuff.Aaron will always be remembered to me as a bright star who was taken far before his time. He was a wonderfull person and I want to thank his parents Tom and Karen for makeing it possible for us to remain friends as long as we did. I have so many memories of him and I regret us growing uppart the way we did. I always wodered about Aaron and where he was liveing,what was he up to.

I am going to pay my respects to an old friend of mine tomorrow and would like to give my phone number to Tom and Karen In case I do not get a chance, I would Love to see you all some time.

I wish you all well and offer my deepest sympothy.

So Long Aaron, Your old friend

Karen, Tom and family,
I am so very sorry for Aaron's passing. I can only feel the pain of a child's injury, but not a senseless death. Aaron was doing so very well deciding on his future and reaching his goals. We can not make sense of what happened, but I want you to know that you all are loved and we are here for you.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
