"You don't need an explanation for everything. Recognize that there are such things occur, events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily."

I am not sure that it will come easily, but knowing that some times there is no explanation may help to accept it easier. With my deepest sympathy I hope you all heal quickly.

With regards,

I will miss you greatly A.J. For over 20 years you seemed to pop up out of the blue just when I needed you. There were many times that you took care of me that I never said thank you for. You were one of the greatest guys I ever knew. I am sure that you and Bobby are having a blast and I will always think of you two when the fireworks go off. All my love.

First of all my Deepest Sympathy goes out to everyone of his family and friends.
A.J. was such a sweet guy, and well liked, he'll be greatly missed.
He always had Great Toys, the neighborhood just isn't the same without his noisy Hot Rods, Harley's and loud music!
I dated him for awhile and he'll always have a special place in my heart, Love Always, Rockin' Robin
