I know you feel the love for you everyday! You have touched our lives so much and we feel it more than ever. Little things or memories we had with you come out in everyday conversations, and its very weird its almost like you never left. I have to admit I have replayed the day you left us more times than I will ever admit and I wonder "why", but like the song says "Only God Knows Why" and some day you better believe I will ask him, when my time comes. You were and are an Awesome cousin, a perfect friend and I am so PROUD to call you Family! Thank you so much for all the fun memories.

Hey little bro'. As you know our cousin Nikki joined you and the rest of our family up there yesterday(Jan. 21). Be sure to give her big hugs from all of us and tell her she will be deeply missed and we love her!
Also, please watch over our uncle Kyle as he is in the ICU at Princeton Hospital. He made it through his surgery, but got very sick and is now in the ICU. Thanks for watching over our uncle Frank as he made it through his surgery also and is doing good the last I heard yesterday when I talked to our brother.
I love and miss you sooo much!!!! ~~Carisa~~

Aaron,
So once again I am here to call upon you to help me through one of the toughest things that I am going through... You know what is going on I know you do I know you look in on me everynow and then I can feel it. Please guide me through this tough time and the decisions that I am going to be making and help me to make the right one. I dont always know what to do and this is one of those times I am not going to go into detail because you know what is going on and there are people that just cant know what is going on right now...... So please Aaron help me and guide me through all the tough times to come and help me stay strong and true to my self and what I believe.......

Aaron-
Hey there! Thank you for watching over all of us on New Year's. We had Robbie Shore with his girlfriend Tanya, Pat and Tanya with the kids, Brian and Des with the kids, Dad, Rian and his buddy Brian over for our New Year's Eve party. We all had so much fun. We laughed and cried together. We listened and sang really loudly to the cd we had made of songs when you had passed away. Shauna wasn't able to make it as she had to work, also mom and Todd celebrated their three years together anniversary with just the two of them, so they didn't come either. But as we did every year, we called mom and talked to her once it struck the new year. We also talked to Tina, and Auntie Paula. Tanya talked to Auntie Jenny, and we tried to call Shauna but she didn't answer so we left her a message.
Please continue to guide each of us through our hard times, happy times, sad times, and good times. We all miss you and love you very much. Loving you today and always,
Your Sister

WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
As you know I was at your grave yesterday afternoon. I brushed all the snow off you and all your stuff.
Another Christmas gone by without you here, and another year it didn't really feel like Christmas. It is soooo hard not having you here with all of us.
Please watch over Tina as she is having a VERY difficult time right now. So much is going on in her life at one time. When she talks to you, will you let her know some how that you are listening and with her.
Well it's off to work I go!
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AARON!!
LOVE,
YOUR SISTER

Little Brother,
Well I did write to you on here on December 16, which was your actual birthday, but apparently it didn't go through for some reason. I've had others tell me the same thing happened to them.
I wanted to say thank you for guideing me through the long nearly two hour drive one way, in the nasty cold weather and slippery roads on Tuesday the 16th. I did it, got there and home safely, and I even got my root canal done (as you know how I feel about the dentist).
Me, Mom, Brian, Dad, Des and our kids all made cakes at our own homes then did a three way call, so we could all talk on same line. We lit candles for your, sang happy birthday, and blew our candles out for you. I had a candle burning for most of the evening after I finally got home. It was nice for all of us to do that since we weren't all together. Auntie Paula called us and Tina emailed me, telling us they were thinking of us on your birthday.
John was working nights, and I think Shauna was also working. But everybody was thinking of you!!!
I hope that you liked the birthday party hat, and the happy birthday paper weight with doolies I brought to your grave. Along with the stockings on the angel, santa hat and jingle bells on your name plate. Oh yeah and the best part---I'm SURE you enjoyed the drink I left for you, and the song I blared. I had heard that Pat had a hard time at work the day of your birthday. Him, Tanya, and Rob all went to visit your grave also. Mom will be there to visit you soon.
Well gotta get back to work now,
I LOVE YOU AARON!
MISSING YOU MORE THAN EVER,

My little boy,
I was at church today, we sang Chirstmas songs and I started thinking about you and your birthday. It was always so much fun planning this for you. Your special supper, your birthday cake and of course your gifts. We are all making a cake (Brian, Carisa and mom.) and will do a 3 way call and sing you Happy Birthday. I will be shopping for a x-mas wreath and bringing it to you this week. You have a lot of company this year for Christmas with more of the Cherne family joining you and Grandpa Joe. There will be another one coming to heaven soon. Nikki is ill. We are having a Happy Party for her in Jan. This is what she wants so this is what she is going to have. Missing you lots. Love MOM

My Brother/My Bestfriend,
We all went camping in memory of you the weekend of August 8 to August 10 (me, john, and our kids went August 6). It was very hard to be there without you, but we all knew that you wouldn't want us to stop going. Cory brought his boat, and took some of us tubing. Dad, Brian, Cory, Robbie, and Pat did some fishing. And of course we all partied hard! As you would have, and wanted us to do! Yep even I did! I know you were laughing and having a good time with all of us. A lot of our family came up to the lake on Saturday and we did a pot luck supper, and partied it up in honor of you baby brother. Continue to watch over all of our family and friends. Your fiance is sick, and she really needs your help Aaron, and she couldn't make it up to Limestone to camp with all of us. So we didn't get to see her or madey.We didn't get to have Austin with us or Kayla either. I know that doesn't suprise you any.
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU DEEPLY!
Love Always ~n~ Forever,
Your Sister
Love, Auntie Laurie

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you. Can't believe we are nearing a year that you were taken from us so tradically, so suddenly. Shauna mentioned that she would like all of us up at Limestone Lake during the time it will be one year for you. So alot of us are going to be there remembering you and all the fun you loved to have at the lake. Keep watching over all of us and keeping us safe. I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU LITTLE BROTHER! Love your sister.

Hey little bro. I can't believe that it's been 11 months already since you were taken from us. Me, John, Dad, Mom and Todd, and all our kids went out to Brian and Des's house over the fourth of July. We had fun and thought of you, especially when we were at the races. I remember back in the day when you lived with Dad and Brian in Princeton and every friday you would go with your friend to the races. That was the coolest thing for you back at that time. To see how excited you would get when Dad would tell you that you could go and gave you money to get it, was cool.
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS! YOUR LIFE AND MEMORIES WILL STAY WITH US FOREVER!
I Love you my little brother,
love always your sister

Hi honey its mom. Just sitting here thinking about camping over the 4th of July holiday this year without you. This was one of our most fun times during the summer with you and the kids.
Taking them to see the fireworks and listening to them oooh and aaah just as you did when you were a little boy. Shauna, Carisa and maybe Tina will be to the campsite sometime this summer. I hope to have your kids there as well. They put the swimming ropes back up so the kids have their beach back and are not surrounded by all of the docked boats this year. Just know we are all still missing you, but we are remembering all of the fun times we had together as a family. I cannot believe it has been almost a year since God took you to his home. I want you to have a 4th of July party with all of the rest of our family that you have up there with you, we miss all them as well. Gotta go my dear but I will talk to you soon. Luv Ya, MOM
Love, Auntie Laurie

Aaron, I am just sitting here thinking about camping this summer... not too excited about even going, knowing you will not be there.. It will just not be the same without you, but I know you would be mad if we passed up on fishing and letting someone else get the BIG ONE.... I love you and miss you lots cuz.....

Hi honey,
It's almost Easter. I was thinking back in time when you would be coloring your eggs with your bother and sister at this time of year. It seemed like you were always the first one up to find your Easter basket and almost all of your eggs that we would hide. Then it was your turn to color these eggs with your own children and hide their baskets. They would love to do this with you, it made them very happy. They would smile at you each and everytime they found one of their eggs. I am glad that you carried on this tradition with your kids it was a great family time for all. I miss you so much. I need you to watch over your sister, brother, Shauna and the kids right now. They will be missing these things they did with you more right now because of the holiday. I LOVE YOU,
MOM
So Sweet!!!

I still remember that day in the hopital when madey was first born. The look in your eyes was so sweet. I think about those days all the time. Madey still says "My daddy up in heaven fishing in a boat." It makes me so sad, but at the same time its so cute. Madey acts like you more and more everyday. Just the little things she does reminds me of you. Its so comforting when it happens. We miss you so much and we all think about you all the time. You will be in my heart forever. We love and miss you so very much. XOXO!!!!
Love Us,

I'll see you in time bro. Love Seth

I told you Merry Christmas then, but wanted to tell you again. I love you so much and miss you lots. I hope that you are with Shauna and Madey (as the rest of your kids) and they are doing okay. I haven't talked to her much at all in the past few weeks. I miss your hugs and hearing you tell all of us that you love us all. You were always the life of everything Parties, family gatherings, etc. We love you!!

We love you so much!! Kiss and hug Grandma and Grandpa for all of us.

Aaron,
I never thought anything like this would happen to you, who was always so full of life and fun. I know though, that you are looking down now and watching your little sister and that you can see she is happy, whole and healthy. I remember all those late nights with you and I sitting in the living room playing games and taking turns holding Britt. I'm glad to see that you live on in your children. It's nice to know that there is a little piece of you in this world.

We have to bring him to the vet to get a shot to go to sleep and you will see him soon. Please play with him everyday. He will be able to run and jump when he gets there. He loves to play with a tennis ball. He likes to play rolley polley, fetch, soccer and catch. We know you will have alot of fun with him.

To family and friends of Aaron/ Pamela Van Vleet
August 28, 2007
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.

We will never forget you. The laughs, the smiles, the war wounds of tubing, knee boarding, and especially the "duct taping after jet skiing". It was a blast. Camping will just not be the same without you. We love you and will miss you dearly. Until we meet again. XXXOOO

You are in my prayers and in my heart and although I cannot attend the service, you know that my love and sympathies are with you.
There are no words to console a parent that loses a child or a wife that loses her husband or a child losing their parent except to say we know they are in a happy place with our other loved ones that have gone home to the Lord.
My prayer for you is that the Lord wrap his arms about you and give you comfort and peace. God Bless you all...With All my Love

When I saw Aaron's name and picture in the obituaries today, my heart just sank. I haven't seen him for many years. He was a little blond kid when I knew him last. My son Michael was his friend, in Blaine. I can only imagine the heart ache you must all be feeling,with the loss of your beloved Aaron. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Aaron
It's hard to imagine our future without you. You know how close our family is and how heartbroken we all are to loose you at such a young age. Becasue of the love we have for each other and for you, I know we will make it through this. We will miss your bright smile and laughter. You always had a way to lighten the day. We were told you did not suffer which was a comfort to us. We love you Aaron and will miss you dearly. Rest in Peace sweet Aaron, until we meet again.

Aaron was the most happiest person around. He would always lift up others that were down. He is my baby brother and my best friend. His laugh and smile will always be remembered by anyone that knew him. AARON I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS AND CHERISH OUR TIMES TOGETHER!
