Aaron, you were such a good kid and your mom did a great job with you. My wife and I still think about those dinners at your house on Bandy Way when you were a little boy and the laughs we had at Miharu with your mom.

About two years before she died, your mom actually reached out to us. She had big dreams for you and asked if we would help you out and be a mentor because she wanted you to have a great future. I'll always feel bad that we couldn't do what she asked us to do.

Seeing your life end so young is heartbreaking. Aaron, now you are back with your mom, a person who loved you with all her heart.
