Andi, I know that you have no use for us, but I want you to know that we grieve with you and for you. May the peace of the Lord, which surpasses all understanding be with you. Though I wish I had the opportunity to be part of little Aaron's life, we know that he is there with our son Aaron to greet us in His Kingdom.

Aaron, you have literally touched the hearts and minds of people around the world. I hope and pray that we will always carry your big old Monkey Boy grin in our thoughts and share your love of life with others that are close to us. Grandmaw misses you lots. You are my special little angel.

On September 24, 2007, I lost one of my sorority sisters to bacterial meningitis. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever gone through. Between trying to understand how this could possibly happen as well as trying to console the rest of my sisters, I was exhausted and forever scarred by the deadly infection. My beautiful sister was only 19 years old and suffered from the same flu like symptons and passed away over the short span of a weekend. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to lose a child to this horrible infection. Ever since we lost Rachel, I tell everyone I know to get the vaccine. My heart and prayers go out to the entire family as well as those who knew Aaron.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.You do not know me but this is such a tragedy to lose a child so young.My heart breaks for you. Aaron looked like a sweet little boy with a beautiful smile. Please remember that Aaron will never be truly gone. He will live on in the hearts of everyone that loved him. He is playing with the Angels now and watching over you.

dear carpender family,
i am so sorry to hear of the loss of your child. it is hard to understand gods plan when we are given a gift of a child to care for. but when the life is taken we should take some comfort in knowing what time we have with them is so special to us. may god bless you and your family. glenda

I know I don't know the family, but I want them to know that God is watching over them at this time. I know it is hard, but remember that the Lord gave his own son, watching him suffer, minute in and minute out. But he did this so that our sins could be washed away.
"Not only so, but we rejoice in our Suffferings, for we know suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and Character produces Hope." -Romans 5:3-4
Aaron is surely in heaven watching down on you, laughing and playing with Jesus and the other little Children in Heaven.
I offer my prayers for your family, and I have passed the story on to my fellow brothers in Christ and they are surely praying.
Peace, Love, and God Bless.

Andy, (I bet no one has called you that in years.) I just wanted you to know that my heart breaks for you. I have a lot of regrets that I never had a chance to meet Aaron. It has been way to long since I have even seen you (our trip to Hersey Park), please contact me if you need anything at all. You will in our prayers. Love yah,

Dear Carpenter Family - like so many others that are sending their kind words of sympathy, we too are the parents of a 4 year old child. Our hearts ache for you. We hope that you will be able to find some comfort in knowing that your son's smile has touched the lives of so many ... even those of us that never had the pleasure of meeting him. We will pray that you can somehow find the strength to get thru this very difficult time.
February 24, 2008
I will ask my special angel in heaven to welcome Aaron with open arms and a loving heart. My prayers are with you.

To Aarons Family, I SAW THAT LITTLE SMILING HANDSOME FACE AND I JUST WANT TO HUG HIS MOTHER. THE PAIN YOU FEEL NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE. MAY GOD WRAP HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND HELP EASE THE PAIN, KNOWING AARON IS SAFE AND WARM WITH GOD. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS.

There are no reasons why this happened to your little boy. After the pain and anger you will one day find peace and the will to go on. Untill then just close your eyes and play with him in your dreams.

Although I didn't know your beautiful son or your family, your story made me cry. His picture makes me smile, he is so sweet and happy. I have two children and I can't imagine the sorrow you are feeling. Please know that many people are thinking of you and sending you prayers at this time.

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. ~John Muir
May you find peace in God at this time. I don't know you but the death of your son has surely opened up my eyes as to just how short life can be. We all need to live each day as though it is your last. Each night kiss and hug your loved ones, as tomorrow is not guaranteed, but only the moment.

Andi,
Our hearts go out to you and your Mom. We grieve right along with you. Our house was brightened every time he visited. I can't relay the deep sorrow we feel for you and Linda. Try and remember his beauty shines on in your memory and everyone who met him.
February 22, 2008
I heard about your story today at work and my heart fell! I am so sorry for your loss. He is a beautiful little boy. You can just see it in his beautiful little smile that he was very loved and always will be. Please know that the world is praying for you and your family. Embrace the pictures his grandmother took. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

To The Carpenter Family,
My prayers are with you during this painful time. Noah, my son, went to the daycare with little Aaron and considered Aaron his best friend. He wanted me to tell you that he misses Aaron too. I will pray for you all and ask God for His love and mercy to hold you at this time. Aaron is with God now. He was a very sweet boy. God be with you and bless you.

Andi - I am grieving so deeply for you right now, if there was anything I could do to take away your pain I would, but please take comfort in the fact that Aaron will never be forgotten and will always be loved. He was such a beautiful and sweet little boy, and Owen's "favorite cousin". I will always remember how much they enjoyed playing with each other when you were here. We will never forget those times and will forever treasure the memories and the privilege of knowing and loving Aaron.
All of my love to you and your Mom,
Aunt Anne

my deepest sympathy goes out to the Carpenter family. There is no one that can say or do anything to ease the pain laid upon you. I had a very special person tell me once that sometimes God needs a rose in his beautiful garden and that is why he takes little ones. Aaron is still and always will be with you and your family, you just have to look for him in a different light. I didn't know Aaron or the Carpenter family but I can assur you that Aaron was and always will be a very special child. May God be with you in your time of need and always. God Bless!

To the family of little Aaron- As an RN I would like to let you know there is nothing you could have done better to prevent what happened to Aaron, this meningitis progresses very quickly. Take comfort in knowing you did your best and loved him very much, I would suggest your seeing a web site which has a young family also who are grieving the loss of thier 2 yr. old son and how they coped with it- their names are Nevada & Anthony Verrino - they were featured on a PBS documentary and I think you will find some comfort in trying to cope with your own loss. The web site is http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/undertaking/stories/verrinos.html
May God bring you every comfort as you mourn the loss of your precious son. Sincerely, you are in my prayers. A Registered Nurse

My daughter Shelby was in daycare with Aaron. She looked up at the moon last night and said there is the moon, my friend, I will name it Aaron. She also said that Aaron is home now. We are sorry for your loss and wanted to let you know that some little 4 year old said that about Aaron.

To the Carpenter Family:
You don't know me, but I felt compelled to write to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. I live in Mt. Wolf and this really touched my heart. I know there is nothing that anyone can say to ease your pain. But maybe it helps to know that Aaron is now your very own angel in heaven that will always be with you. That can NEVER be taken from you. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
