I stumbled across this site and I couldn't agree more with the comments made about Aaron. When Aaron came into our lives we experienced a new level of happiness along with our daughter. He was put in our family by a higher power for sure, we often talked about how we couldn't have hand picked a better husband for our daughter. When he passed our hearts were broken. Time does not heal it just fills the space with life without them. Never to see his smile again.
