Robert and Lisa, In the short time I got to know Ivy, I learned so much. Truly a life lived with a purpose and lessons for us all. My heart goes out to you.

I count myself blessed to have known Ivy, even if just for the briefest of time in the ruler of life. My life was made better by my experiences with them and I can guarantee you that I will pass along those lessons to others that can benefit from them. With a heavy heart and tight hugs I send my condolences.

Ayden and I were best friends for all of our late childhood and early teen years. We hung out at each other houses everyday, just messing around and having fun. He was really my only true close friend at the time and I always looked forward to having him come over.
I still remember the first time we met, we were just walking and talking and he asked if I had a "Gameboy". I actually did have one which surprised him and we went over my house so he could check it out and so we could play games together. We really bonded over this shared hobby. The games we played the most were Super Mario Odyssey, Minecraft, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing.
Super Mario Odyssey was a very special game for the both of us. It was the game that convinced him to pick up a Switch so we could play together. We used to speedrun the game and race each other, but the best memories I have of him and this game is when we were trying to hack our Switches to get an in-game costume early. We spent hours slaving over guides and celebrating little victories on the process of modding. Eventually we got to the RCM Injection screen and we were both so excited. We were both running around and screaming when that screen came up.
We used to edit the loading screens of the game to make it say whatever the hell we wanted it to say. Typically our stupid inappropriate inside jokes, which his family didn't always appreciate being displayed on the big living room TV.
We had a ton of inside jokes. We used to make these stupid animations on GoAnimate about Hitler and Obama playing a game called Shrek Super Party for Nintendo Gamecube. We spent so long making these stupid videos and were so upset when GoAnimate started charging to access our animations since we weren't about to drop $200 to save our stupid memes. Those stupid animations were some of the last things we talked about, just 2 months before his passing. I am devastated that our plans to hang out recently never came to light. I wish I got to see him one last time before he passed.
Rest in piece buddy, I'll miss you.

My condolences to Ayden's family. I first met Ayden when Lisa announced she was expecting her second child. Although we lived countries apart his presence was always known and felt . The love that Ayden had for the family that keeps on growing was enormous. I'll remember fondly forever his solution to finding a parking spot when we came to California, and he just simply stated, "Auntie, just pray to God and you'll find a spot. Low and behold, a parking spot became available." I'll certainly miss the wisdom, wit, and love that Ayden had.
Love you forever, love you for always. Keep watching over your family that keeps on growing xoxo
