Dear Bernie, Lorne, Lianne and family,
We are so deeply, deeply saddened by Aaron’s passing. We know how much you loved him and how proud you are of him. Sending you our deepest condolences, Love Linda and Barry
So sorry for your loss. I loved Aaron’s energetic and enthusiastic spirit. He was a great conversationalist and fun to be around. My heart breaks that Edward will grow up not having his “cool older cousin” Aaron and that he will miss all the fun times I know they would have had. When I teach Edward how to jet-ski, will let him know that Aaron taught me how to jet-ski on the lake.
I just received d the heart breaking news about Aaron’s passing. You are all in my prayers. I remember the fun times years ago playing at the lake. Blessings to you all.
