Today is Aaron's funeral

As I write this, Aaron's daddy and I, along with his grandparents, aunts, and uncles are gathered at my mom and dad's house getting ready for the funeral. Everyone is dressed in their brightest colors and we all look great! I am wearing a dress that is various shades of pink and orange with a fun little ruffle at the bottom and my hubby is wearing a bright green shirt with a beautiful green and blue tie. There is coral, green, floral, blue and pink all around us and that makes me smile. I know it makes Aaron smile to. I can't wait to see what else people wear today - I am sure there will be some black - but I think there will be a lot of bright colors to and it will be a sight to see. The funeral is at 1:00 and I think we are as ready as we will ever be. I think it will be a BEAUTIFUL service. One of us will post a recap either today or tomorrow. Remember, if you can't be with us today, think of us, think of Aaron and let him see your biggest, toothiest grin. He'll giggle - I know it!

Again, love to all and thank you so much for everything!

It was a beautiful service. It may be a long time before I can sing "Jesus Loves Me" without crying but it was so perfect for baby Aaron. We've all been blessed for having known him. His Mommy and Daddy are very special people.

Daddy and I have only been home for a little more than an hour and already I miss you all. These past few days together were so full of love. Thank you.

Aaron's memorial service, designed as a celebration of his life, was remarkable. Pastor Al's sermon was incredibly uplifting and sensitive. He said that he truly believes that Aaron's parents were divinely chosen. I have to agree with him....Nikki & Josh and both sets of grandparents, aunts and uncles are truly amazing. Many hearts are broken but their incredible love and faith has sustained them and all of us through this time. Baby Aaron is forever etched in our memories and hearts. Thanks be to God for this tiny baby who impacted so many people and brought us all to a new level of love for others.

Love to all of you,

It was beautiful and so sad. When we first got there Josh's mom said I feel like we are going to a wedding the way we are all dressed. But it was so nice that everyone followed along. I think Pastor Al did an amazing job and really made me feel better I hope he did the same for you. Just because this is all over it doesn't mean it is over. We will continue to pray for you and be there for you!
Love you!

Nikki and Josh - you are two very strong faithful people and that has shone through in the past weeks. Aaron was a beautiful baby boy and I am very proud to be his grandma - forever. Aaron was blessed to have the two of you for parents. Love, Mom W
