I miss you / Karey Nelson (Mother)
I haven't been on Aaron's web site for a long time. I am overwhelmed by the testimonials I've read. I know I have been negligent in responding to everyone; for some reason I thought I would be able to personally address a letter to everyone. Duh. I was amazed to see so many people at Aaron's funeral. It is as if a blanket of comfort and love had been knitted just for us. I am so proud to be Aaron's mother. In his short life he earned the respect of his family and his peers. Sometimes I feel he left us accomplishing what he was meant to. The reallity of it is he made a bad decision and it cost him his life. I so look forward to seeing him again, when it's my time of course, and since it will be for all eternity, I can hold him forever and he'll just have to "suck it up" xxxooo I Luv U Beanie Close

God Bless........ / Staacey Streets (Angel Mom To Aidan )
I wish I had something helpful or cathartic to say that would ease your pain if even just a little bit. All I can say is that I am truly from the depths of my soul, understand your pain and loss. Even though I had Aidan just for a moment, I Truley Believe no loss of a child is greater than another. I hope and pray that God gives you the strength, peace, and faith to survive this. It's a road no one wants to go down, but once you have you can never come back. Thank you for sharing your angel with me. I know we don't physically know each other, but I feel that bereaved parents are connected forever. I admire you for being so strong such a wonderful inspiration to others and for being such a great mommy to your angel. God bless you and your family.

In the garden of trees stands a willow, a willow that weeps through the years, named aptly for heartache and sorrow, each leaf represents one more tear. With grace those leaves blow on a soft wind, to remind us of our child gone away; yet it reaches its branches toward Heaven, with the promise we'll see them someday. It stands in the midst of the storm tossed winds, a tree with quiet beauty and grace, like our hearts it survives through the worst of it all, and will 'til we see our child's face. In the garden of trees stands a willow tree, a willow that weeps through the years; just like our child, it's in God's hands, and like us, sheds countless tears.

First Christmas!! / Diane Cassidy- Angel Mom-Katie
"My First Christmas in Heaven"
I see the countless Christmas trees Around the world below With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, Please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs That people hold so dear But the sounds of music can't compare With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, The joy their voices bring. For it is beyond description, To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones. You know I hold you dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, From heavenly home above, I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious Than pure gold. It was always most important In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, As my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a "Merry Christmas" and Wipe away that tear. Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Remembering You... / Melissa Smith (grieving Mom) (none)
Holidays are fast approaching where tinsel and lights shine bright, It’s the time for family and friends to sing out carols like 'Silent Night'. ~~^~~ Perhaps a joyous time for many celebrating the birthday of our Lord, Which is the true meaning of Christmas so why do many go out, and buy presents they can't afford? ~~^~~ Christmas parties at work and home enjoying the food and being merry, As decorations are hung with mistletoe, holly and berry. ~~^~~ For some of us it's a blue time when tears cascade so often, No matter how hard we try nothing seems to soften. ~~^~~ Whether you are alone or surrounded by loved ones, Loneliness is apparent especially missing a child. ~~^~~ No matter what religion you are and celebrate your way, Just remember this one thing for many of us it's just another day.
Remembering each of you in my prayers & in my heart. May God guide you through this holiday season. Love Melissa

On the eve of your 2oth birthday. / Lynne And Cliff Young (Aunt and Uncle )
Hi Aaron, We can't believe you would be twenty on this birthday. It is even more difficult now than before to accept you are not here . We are constantly thinking about you and your engaging smile . The time you spent up here in Boston ,all the places we saw and things we did in that one week will be a source of memories for the rest of our lives. The wonderful way you always coordinated your clothes and how neat you were impressed us so much for such a young person. It was a pleasure to have you with us. Wish we lived closer so we could have shared more time together. We are so proud of all that you accomplished for such a young man. We miss you so much that words cannot express the extent of our feelings. Love,hugs and kisses, Auntie Lynne and Uncle Cliff Close
Happy Birthday, beanie / Mom
Hi Aar. Happy Birthday. I can't believe it's 20 years already. I know you are well, and safe where you are. And I know you are not alone. I will forever treasure the time we had together, and the love we shared. I have learned that you and I will be together again someday, so i had best keep on losing weight. I'll be a milf by that time.
Happy Birthday / Momere (his grandmother )
You are Always in my mind and you are Appreciated so much And now the Reality of loss has a brought an Overwhelming sadness That I know will Never leave me Your loving and adoring Momere
Happy Birthday / Jeni Rzonca (Friend)
I was noticing your newspaper article on my bulletin board today. We talk about you often at work still and remember you always. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. Close
We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again
Changing to Fast / Blair Pontious (1 Bestfriend )
Aaron, Bro where do I start man..Things are changing so fast around here it's unbelievable. There are good things happening bad things happening and its just really crazy now.. I've been in school 10weeks now, and it has been really hard going through it without you, and there's a kid with your last name, which is even harder to hear his name.. I think of you everyday in class, i know you've been there with me. and Zach left yesterday 10/14/05 for the ARMY..which really hasn't kicked in that he isn't going to be around for awhile. You know where we took Zach before he left hahaha wow that was awesome.Just thinking about when Me, you Brent and Zach went.That was one of the best nights..lol but I know your gonna help him through it just like you are for me. and Brent got his own place now which is pretty cool..I know you've been there a few times..I talk to AJ alot its good to hear his voice.there's soo much of you in him its not even funny. I enjoy talking to him.. and I know that was you that visited him on his back porch.. Aaron I miss you so much bro later Close
Please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see I'm right by your side each night and day And within your heart I long to stay My body is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear My spirit is free, but I'll never depart As long as you keep me alive in your heart I'll never wander out of your sight I'm the brightest star on a summer night I'll never be beyond your reach I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around And the pure white snow that blankets the ground I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond The clear cool water in a quiet pond I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in spring The first warm raindrop that April will bring I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine When you start thinking there's no one to love you You can talk to me through the Lord above you I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep I'm the smile you see on a baby's face Just look for me, I'm everyplace... May God Bless You http://blakemoore.memory-of.com
AARON WAS THAT YOU?? / AJ DUNNACK (BROTHER)Read >>
AARON WAS THAT YOU?? / AJ DUNNACK (BROTHER)
I HAD AN INTERESTING VISITOR ON SUNDAY JUNE 19TH AND I THINK IT WAS YOU. I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE ON MY DECK THINKING ABOUT YOU WHEN SUDDENLY A HOMING PIGEON LANDED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS RATHER STRANGE, SEEING AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER SEEN AN ACTUAL HOMING PIGEON. I SAT AND TALKED TO THIS MYSTERIOUS BIRD FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES THINKING THAT I WAS CRAZY, BUT I SOON REALIZED THAT MAYBE I WASN'T. I WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET A DRINK (NON-ALCOHOLIC) AND I LEFT THE DOOR OPEN A TAD. WHEN I RETURNED I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THIS BIRD WALKING AROUND THE ROOM. I SAID WITTINGLY, AARON IS THAT YOU? I GAVE YOU SOME FOOD AND WATER AND I SAT AND TALKED TO YOU SOME MORE. ZACHARY AND I WERE LEAVING THE HOUSE WHEN I POINTED YOU OUT TO HIM AND I ASKED HIM WHAT WE SHOULD NAME THIS BIRD. HE REPLIED CROCODILE OF COURSE, AND I SAID NO A PERSONS NAME, AND TO MY ASTONISHMENT HE SAID UNCLE AARON. I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS. YOU STAYED WITH US FOR TWO WEEKS EXACTLY, WHICH IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE TOGETHER WHEN YOU CAME TO VISIT US IN CT. YOU CAME TO US IN A TIME OF NEED AND WE FOUND COMFORT FROM YOUR PRESENCE. YOU WERE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET INTO THE HOUSE AND YOU WERE ANTAGONIZING THE CATS AND DOGS BY PECKING AT THE DOOR. WE EVEN GOT TO TOUCH YOU WHICH WAS REALLY COOL. AS QUICKLY AND UNANNOUNCED AS YOU HAD ARRIVED YOU WERE GONE. MAYBE IM LOSING MY MIND, BUT I KNOW IT WAS YOU AARON. YOU WERE CHECKING UP ON US. DURING THIS TIME MELANIES PREGNANCY WAS CONFIRMED BY A DOCTOR AND WE JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY GIRL COMING INTO THE WORLD. YOUR GOING TO BE AN UNCLE AGAIN. WE DECIDED TO NAME HER KELSEY AAREN. AAREN IS THE FEMININE FORM OF YOUR NAME AND WE THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE TICKLED TO KNOW WE ARE SHARING A PIECE OF YOUR LEGACY WITH HER. WE HAD THE HONOR OF KNOWING YOU AND SHE WILL HAVE THE HONOR OF CARRYING ON HER UNCLES NAME. OH YEAH YOU ALSO HELPED ME STOP SMOKING. THE LORD DEFINETLY WORKS IN STRANGE WAYS. HEY AARON, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH THE TIME YOU SHARED WITH YOUR FAMILY IN CT. WE HAD JUST STARTED TO LOVE YOU AND WE LOOKED FORWARD TO COMING TO FLORIDA TO SEE YOU. WELL WE ARE COMING TO VISIT, BUT ITS NOT HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. ITS GONNA BE TOUGH GOING TO DISNEY WORLD WITHOUT YOU. THAT WAS OUR PLAN YA KNOW. GOIN ON THE RIDES AND SPLASHIN AROUND WITH ZACH LIKE WE DID AT SIX FLAGS LAST SUMMER. I HAD NEVER BEEN ON A ROLLER COASTER UNTIL I MET YOU, AND I ONLY WENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT MY LITTLE BROTHER TO THINK I WAS CHICKEN SHIT. I HAD NEVER BEEN ON A PLANE EITHER AND I INSISTED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BE DRUGGED OR KNOCKED OUT TO GET ME ON A PLANE. IT WASN'T EXACTLY HOW I PLANNED ON TAKING MY FIRST FLIGHT, BUT YOU DID HELP ME OVERCOME MY BIGGEST FEARS. YOU TOUCHED ME IN SO MANY WAYS IN SUCH LITTLE TIME, I GUESS THATS A REFLECTION OF WHO YOU REALLY WERE. I COULD PROBABLY WRITE A BOOK ABOUT YOU AND ALL THE THOUGHTS THAT RUN THROUGH MY HEAD ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. BUT I AM SO THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE DID SHARE AND FINDING YOU WHEN I DID. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE DEVESTAITNG FOR ME IF A HAD NOT GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH YOU WHEN I DID. YOU HAVE INFLUENCED AND CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER AND I JUST WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME NOW TO SHARE A JOKE OR RIP A FART LOL. WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH AND WE LOVE YOU. LATER BRO- A.J.- Close
