Aaron,



I'm trying, buddy.... I made some promises that I know I should keep. People obviously found this public memorial, which is great because you deserve a lifetime worth of memories. I'm just glad that you can be in my memories, and I, yours.

Getting back to the promises, you know I won't let your spirit go on in vain. It may take a few go's, but I won't give up. You can know that if I ever get to a point where I want to give up - and I've been close - the sheer fact that you wouldn't want that would pull me back from whatever dark clutches that may be holding me.

Over the course of time, I was glad to see that you were becoming more and more positive - about life...love...people...yourself - and with that said, I say we stop our grieving and continue on in the way of Aaron: positively.



Goodnight, little nani muffin (?whatever the heck that means?) Maybe I'll know some para para routines by the time I'm up there. I assume you're still learning. ^_^

Dear Hernandez Family,

I'm so sorry about Aaron. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. I pray that you find comfort during this devastating time.

We would like you to know how very much we adored your son. He visited our home many times with Megan and Anna. I have a 17 year old son that has Down Syndrome. Most people don't even acknowledge our son, but Aaron alway treated Ryan like a regular kid. Aaron would sit and talk to me about his brothers, and you could tell how very much he loved his brothers. I will never forget this boy with the heart of an angel. He made such a huge impact on our family and he will never be forgotten.

Dear Aaron-

I know we've only met once but i thought you were one of the greatest people i've ever met. I missed seeing you at Anime Central and Art told me he saw you and i went to say hi but you were gone..

I want to say that i had fun when Art and I came over. I'm really going to miss you.

I also want to send my deepest condolences to your family. I can't imagine how hard this must be for all of you.

I know you'll be watching over everyone Aaron

Dear Hernandez Family,

I have beautiful memories of Aaron at school. He was never in my classes but he was in CEC for a short time and I enjopyed his sense of humor and his loving and caring way with others. He will be in my prayers as well as all the family.

God Bless and keep you safe.

Dear Aaron,



It's so hard to believe that you're gone. We did the best we could to help you and you will live on in the memories and characters of you in the pictures we have. I was there with you until the very end. I hope you're enjoying Heaven and that you were reunited with grandpa Alpidio and great grandmother Geraldine. You were a great brother to both Matthew and me. Even though our comedy won't be the same without your funny impersonations and ideas, Matt and I are continuing it and we are getting stronger everyday with new ideas. Mom misses telling you and Matt to stop teasing. We all love you and we will miss you very much.

Aaron Patrick..............

Aaron Patrick........................



You seek out your fortunes on high..

Ne're fearing to tred the high places of the heart and soul.



Your love of life and heart are

Open for all joys and sorrows,

Weathered as a mast with sails torn,

To be healed by love over....and....over



Aaron, son of Michael and Laura........

Aaron, their Son, and Sunlight...........



Lighting the way with your eyes afire

You warm aging and bitterly cold souls with your heart's beating.



Your first smile lit the darkness of all mankind with its glow.

Your first words set the stage for all mankind with its wisdom.

Your first deed was kindness to another.



You are.........Magic!



Aaron, within you burns the fire of all humanity.

You are the light of lights, the path untrodden.

You are a man of all seasons.



You breathed deep, Aaron, and took in the air of the Ancients.

Holding that breath till the fibre of your being disected and devoured it.

Recognizing the life in everything, the breathing rock, the whispering

wind, the singing stream.

Holding precious in your heart, the purity and beauty of everything that is.



And....you will see the end.........!

You.....will see the end......................!
