Aaron! I miss you with every passing day! I am always thinking of you and often see young men while I am out and about and think of how handsome you were and wonder what you would be doing today if you were still with us... You were not my brother by blood, but by choice! We shared some great times and in turn I have some great memories of you! My favorite one is the memory I have just before you left for Iraq... It was when you met my daughter for the first time and you took her outside with you in the garage and when I came out you were dancing for her and singing along to Elvis! LOL! You were such a dear soul and I will always remember you as that loving young man so happy and dancing! Just how you were the last time I seen you! I love you and will never forget you! Until we meet again! Roxy Ray
