I wanted you to know that you have my greatest sympathy & my heart is truly saddended. I know that Aaron's passing will not only leave a void in your life, but in the hearts of all those who knew him.
"Say not, in grief, that he has gone,
But give thanks that he was yours."

Uncle Gary, Aunt Rela, Scott, Jenny, and Megan,
I want you all to know how truly sorry I am for you all, and how much Aaron will be missed. Growing up with him as a cousin and a friend was a true blessing. All I can think of now is how he is with Grandpa Frank, Aunt Nancy and my mom probably cracking a joke and making them all laugh. I will always remember his smile and his ability to be there for his family and friends at any time of need. Mine and Neil's thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Love,
Jillian Risavi & Neil Graybill

Dear Gary, Rela, Scott, Jenny, Jacob, Megan and Josh: I wish this wasnt real. I wish we could all wake up tomorrow and see Aaron's smiling face. I told Kate that Aaron was up in heaven now and her response was..."Now Grandpa Frank has someone to hang out with!" I guess if Aaron can't be here with us, it gives me comfort to know that he is still in a place where he is surrounded by people that love him :) We both love you all so much, Maggie and Kate

Aaron, it couldn't possibly true when given the news. You & I had JUST talked & you sounded like normal, happy Aaron, & I was glad to hear it.
You can't actually be gone. I don't wanna forget about the good times we had, how we made each other laugh, & how you'd change your voice to be funny. There are countless other quirks like that, & I fear that over time I'll forget them, but I don't wanna forget how special you were to me when we first met.
When I found out you'd succumbed, I felt like someone stabbed me & have been crying since. My dad told me to remember the positive memories but those are the hardest to stomach.
I feel blessed in hindsight that we just talked recently. I appreciated that when I had a question or needed advice about certain topics; you would ALWAYS answer me & tell me what you knew.
For whatever it's worth, you were loved by a lot of people, even during times when your life was chaotic.
I'm still working on getting it through my head that I'll never go on another motorcycle ride with you, that I'll never hear you play guitar, That I'll never cause your smile or make you laugh. Or that you'd give me a running piggyback ride to your car when it was freezing outside so I'd get there A LOT quicker & suffer less cold. You were indeed, a special, funny, strong, unique individual.
I miss you already, hope you feel ZERO pain & ONLY love where ever you might be on your journey after life.
Your inner light surely went with you... please use some of it to watch over all of us left behind.
Always & forever a friend,
Becky Merchen

I always enjoyed my talks with Aaron, and have thought of him as one of my own children. I will miss him terribly, his humor, his exploits, stories, and making him breakfast when he showed up on my doorstep after being out at night. My heartfelt and sincere condolences on such a bright light in our lives.
