Heidi and Tom, I am very saddened by Aaron's passing. I have many happy memories of watching you two parent your boys at RLC, Brimhall and Little League. You were great role models for the rest of us. I know how much all our sons mean to you. My thoughts and prayers are for you and Blake and Ryan.

We are so sorry to hear about your son. Just got together with Jon last night, (Carla Gaines' husband) and heard about your tragic news. We can't imagine the grief you are experiencing. You treated Carla with great respect while she was working in your flower store and struggling. She loved it!!! Death is hard, and it takes a lot of time to heal, if ever.

Heidi, you probably don't remember me, but we went to highschool together, Mary Ann Gaines the red head. You take care of your self, and again, thank you so much for all you did for Carla. Our prayers and thoughts are with you through this very difficult time.

Tom, Heidi, Blake and Ryan -

I am a friend of Jessica Reed's - you may remember me. Jess and I actually grew up together and I have many memories of working in the flower shop as well as babysitting the boys on occasion. I can still see all their faces (little boys of course) and the smiles. I was shocked to hear of the passing of Aaron. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May your memories keep you strong and his spirit alive now and forever. God Bless.

Johnson Family,

I regretably had not kept in touch with Aaron since high school, but I spent a lot of time with him during those years. We sang together in Concert Choir and other groups. He was a genuine, kind, and warm person. I'll cherish the memories I have of him. I'm praying for you and yours during this difficult time.

Many of my childhood memories were shared with the Johnson boys. Aaron was always a kind, caring friend who stuck up for me when the little brothers let me have it (especially when it came to sharing the Johnsons'cool toys). My heart goes out to all of you. I wish I could be there for you at this time. Much love to all of you.

Dear Tom and Heidi,

My heart is aching for your loss. Aaron was, is, and always will be a beautiful and beloved child of God. I remember him as a happy "villager" at Swedish Language Village, experiences he shared with our kids. He was a fine young man. May you be comforted by the memories, and by the love that surrounds you. Steve and I are praying for your whole family -- for peace and healing.
