Aaron L. Bloom

Dear Phyllis, Elliott, and David,

We were so sorry to hear about Aaron's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. We have only happy memories of your family from our time at Randallstown Elementary and the pool. This world has lost a wonderful young man.

Lots and lots of love and prayers,
Debbie, Ken, Andy, and Katie Myers

Phyllis and Elliot,
We were shocked when we heard about Aaron yesterday. We can not imagine the depths of your sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

To The Bloom Family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear, dear, Aaron. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

No one knows why people come into your lives when they do, but I truly believe its for a reason. When Aaron came into mine I needed someone to make me smile, feel young, carefree and pretty again! He did all that with one devilishly handsome smile and a wicked fun sense of humor! It was for a short time in Dec, four years ago. And since I heard this sad news I have relived those funfilled weeks many times over with tears, but still a smile. I hope that your adventurous soul is still on a great journey above sweetie. Your time may have been short, but will be remembered always. And there are a whole lot of people missing you, Now and Always. My prayers and love to your mom and dad and family.

For the Bloom family;
My name is Cindy Lambke; I am a dear, longtime friend of Jodi's, having sons your boys ages. Please know I am also grieving for you and cannot fathom the depth of your grief, but am praying for all of you.
Jodi tells me your boys both love you all very much.
Thinking of you all at this most diffucult time.

Hello David and all the Bloom Family:
So sorry to learn about your loss. My family will keep you in our prayers during this difficult time.
Warm Regards,
Len & Irena Beck

To the dear parents and family of Aaron, my heart goes out to you. Even though you don't know me, I feel your pain because I too suffered when my dear son was suddenly killed in an auto accident 15 months ago. I am a friend of Jodi's in Florida and am praying for you everyday. You will make it. God gives us incredible strength. Your pain will never, ever go away but it will get a little easier as time goes on. Our grief and tears are signs that we truely love our children and brothers. Feel free to contact me at any time. Right now I am crying with you, but I am living proof that you will get through this terrible tragedy and over time adjust to the "new normal." It's a long hard road, but we don't walk alone. Unfortunately, I have many friends whom have suffered our same situation and we lean on each other. May God hold you close and comfort you.
Most Sincerely,
Terie

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your beloved son, grandson and friend, Aaron.

Aaron- you truly will be missed- that beautiful smile would light up my heart. Love to you. Michelle Mark and Kai McCoy

Aaron,

I was just thinking about you the other day. Lori K and I were just talking about how you were the cutest boy in our class for the longest. All us little girls had crushes on you. I know I havent seen you or talked to you since our 5th grade graduation, but when I got news of your passing, it truly hurt my heart. God Bless you and your family. I know God will keep you safe. Do me a favor and tell Michelle Sykes, I said I love her too!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Aaron,

I will never forget you and you will be forever in my heart. RIP my friend.

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.

We can't tell you how sorry we are. Aaron always made me laugh at Davidson. His smile would light up a room. He will be truly missed.
Our love,prayers & deepest sympathy are with you & your family.
Dave & Terrie Abeel
