AJ, I never knew you personally, but your story reached me and I just want to be able to somehow communicate that you are and were worthy of love and kindness and happiness. May you rest and play in peace, may you somehow know you were loved and worthy and better than how you were treated. May your memory help spur change to help others. I'm so sorry you were failed and I hope you've found light and peace and rest.

Sweetest AJ, I did not know you but when I learned what had happened to you a little piece of me went with you. I can't tell you how sorry I am for what you had to endure in your short 5 years you had on this earth. I'm hoping you can look down and see how many people love you. Your precious life did matter little man.

Darling AJ, in the community where you lived, everyone is so immensely sorry for how you lived and died. May no other child feel the fear and pain that you were forced to endure. May your story never ever be forgotten, and may genuine change come for the benefit of all abused children. You may not have know this in life, but you are loved, and you will be missed.

Dearest A. J. My heart continually breaks as more is revealed daily of all you endured in your short life. I'm so sorry you didn't receive the love you SO deserved and I'm so sorry we as a society failed to protect you as so many others in the past. I HAVE to believe your death wasn't in vain and that a law or laws is enforced in your honor along with all other babies gone too soon from us. Sweet boy whether you know it or not you're a hero, you saved your siblings lives. Fly high sweetheart, keep on smiling that beautiful smile, be who you are a active beautiful 5 yr old without fear now. You will forever be in my heart
May 2, 2019
There are no words that can ease the pain of what happened to this beautiful child. It breaks my heart to even know about what happened. True are the words of Jesus "and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold" but soon God's Kingdom will undo all the harm of this wicked world and life will be free of crime and violence; sickness and death.

AJ, you have touched all our hearts. So sorry you lived in such deplorable conditions. Sorry you were not rescued and given the help you were such need of.
I have to believe your death has made awareness to all those children who also need help just like you. You might of saved your little brothers life. I pray for him. I pray that he has a chance to life. He is loved and given an opportunity to exceed in this world.
You have opened all our eyes. So many kids that need our help.
You have educated us all that something has to be done to help others....to save our children.
Never forget you AJ.
