"Deepest sympathy to your family at this untimely loss! I know Aaron is with his Momma in heaven. Prayers for God?s blessings and comfort through this time! I never buy a newspaper but felt compelled to purchase one Thursday to see Aaro?s passing. He was sweet and I felt like he was one of our own."
In loving memory of
