I met AJ about 2 years ago & he always had such a joy about him. Such a friendly person. He didn't tell me he was sick til much later even though he was when we met. From the day I found out I continued to pray for him & his family. AJ I will never forget you & your smile. My thoughts are with your family <3

I am so sorry for your loss. AJ had a way of brightening any day, even when he was so very sick from his treatments. I will miss the warm hugs he me gave every time I saw him. I know he was just my "patient" but sometimes some patients touch your heart more than others. And AJ was one of those patients for me.
