Gentleness and kindness -- the first words that come to mind when I think of Aaron. My relationship with Aaron was limited to casual meetings at school events for the most part, so I would never claim to "know" Aaron in any sort of complete way. I just know what I could count on from him when I would see him on these occasions - and that was gentleness and kindness -- a sort of full presence in the conversation at hand. I am grateful to have known him and I am so very sorry for your loss. Peace, Cherie
