  6. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine the void you must be experiencing. We’re not supposed to bury our children. Unfortunately there are no words anyone can say to ease your pain. And it’s cliche to say time heals all wounds. All I can say is I’m so very sorry.

    Nona, Ron and Shannon,
    Sending love and prayers from Maryland for your loss. Memories of Aaron running around Overview Manor, excelling in school and being an all around great kid are ever present when I walk past your old home. We shared many good times together during your time here and I think of your family often. I hope that fond memories of Aaron will sustain you moving forward. Despite our distance, Nona – your friendship is dear to me as we both were Maryland transplants missing our families. I cherish the years spent together. My heart aches for you all. Much love ❤️ Dara

  10. Aaron I know now you are a peace. Looking through pictures came across the one at Edgewater Park and the look on your face when you saw Disco Inferno Band popped into my mind your look was priceless.

    Nona and Ron I cannot even imagine what you are going through there are no words just cherish the happy memories.

  13. Aaron was always a special nephew to me I didn’t spend a whole lot of time together with him except the family pool parties and Christmas parties but my greatest treasure was being able to drive him home after a day long of fishing with uncle Mike we had such a great time on the lake that day and that hour and a half drive we both made each other laugh he had a great sense of humor and that was my cigar smoking buddy I love and miss you and always will
