Aaron was such a special young man. I first met him as an enthusiastic twelve or thirteen year old, a friend of my son Ben, when they were both members of our local middle school's football team. From the beginning he was the kind of kid who stood out. He was polite to a fault, he was kind, he was smart, and not did he love to play football! He also loved to eat, as did my boys, and when he'd come home on the bus with them after school they had a joyous time together. He called me Mom and I loved being his second mom. I recognized the honor it was and still do, because Aaron's mother is an outstanding lady whom I know and love. Aaron had great strength, both physical and of principal. He fought both for what was right for our country and for what was right for his family, never shirking his duty or turning aside from a task just because it was distasteful or personally uncomfortable. He was honorable. I will miss him so much, but I am thankful for the faith he had in the Lord Jesus Christ, which gives me great hope that I will see him in glory. I am thankful and proud to have known and loved him, and I look forward to our reunion in the Lord's presence some day.
