Anna and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through at this moment and for years to come. Of course you never expect to outlive your children nor do you expect to lose them at such a young age. It's been years since Audrey and Abby spent hours together dancing and I only knew Aaron when he was very young. The teenage years are so difficult for us as parents and for them during this time in their lives. Give you and your family the strength to get through this tragedy! If there is anything I can do to help, please contact me at 704-491-2004

Mr. and Mrs. Willis.. There's no word that can express how sorry I am to hear about the death of Aaron. I know Logan thought a lot of Aaron. We have talked a lot in the past few days about when they played on the Mets together with Coach Christiano and when you all lived behind each other and their sleepovers.. During this difficult moment, our thoughts and prayers are always with you.
