Aaron always thought of others before himself and for the most part always did the right things in life. Aaron stayed out of trouble. Aaron got good grades in school and had respect for the law. A lot of that credit should go to his mother (Pat). Aaron was also good natured a gift he got from mom. We had been divorced a while before Aaron passed away. In spite of what happened in our marriage Aaron always came first. We were loving parents that raised a good son that we are both proud of. The important thing here is not the divorce. We need to stay focused on a tribute and memorial to our son Aaron. This page is for Aaron's special mother.
It takes two parents to raise a child and Aaron wouldn't have turned out the way he did if it wasn't for his mother too. Pat was the best mother that any child could ever hope to have. Pat was always there for Aaron any time he needed anything. Aaron was her world too and she loved Aaron as much as any mother could love a son. Aaron was caring and had good morals. Most of that was taught to him by his mother. Aaron loved his mother very much and was always proud of her too. It's understandable that Aaron and I did many things together as father's and son's do. But at the same time Aaron had a special bond with his mother too.
When Aaron started to become ill a short time before he passed away she gave Aaron the best care that any mother could give a son under the circumstances. She worked a full time job too and after work her time was spent seeing to Aaron's needs. Many times she was tired and exhausted but she kept going day and night.
Pat does spend time at this website and is proud of the beautiful memorial to our son Aaron. Pat and I are, and will always be very good friends. She is a very special lady and was a great mother. I thank God and Pat for a beautiful son. He was and still is the world to us. Mom deserves a lot of the credit and this is for you Pat. This is my way of saying thank you for a wonderful son. Feel free to leave a message for Pat in the guest book at the bottom of this page. ~ Steve
Aaron & Mom on Christmas in 1987. Aaron was always so happy...always a smile on his face.
Aaron at Age 1 1985
After Glow
I'd like the memory of me to be a
happy one,
I'd like to leave an after glow of
smiles when day is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times and laughing
times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
behind when day is done.

Aaron, I love you so much. I thank God that he allowed me to be your
mother. You are truly a gift from God. You always shared your kindness, love and unterstanding, with everyone you met. I admire you
for that. In our darkest hours, you comforted me, through your faith and
your strength. I miss you so much, my heart is still broken in a million
pieces. Please pray for us , that we may be together again. I know you are watching over me, I can feel it everyday, and I couldn't ask for
anyone better than you. I know your love is pure as your heart is. I
will always love you, you were my gift from God, our bond is now between heaven and earth. You promised that you and Jesus would
always be with me, and you never broke a promise, to anyone. I wait
the day that we will be reunited.
Love, Mom 10/13/2002
