As I wake up each day it's still sinking in what has happened. It still doesn't seem real. I'm so grateful for all the beautiful messages that have been in the paper. It's so hard seeing his name in print and knowing it's under the death notices.
My heart just aches for you and your family. It is evident he was a good and kind man who positively influenced all around him. What a legacy to leave. Peace be with you.
Joseph McConkie made this statement in his book, Life Beyond:
“The faithful who preceded us into the world of spirits have not ceased to love us, to be concerned about us, to pray for us, or to labor in our behalf. For those sealed by the power of the priesthood, death does not dissolve familial ties. Indeed, the increased understanding that comes to one in the paradise of God could but sharpen the desires to continue to minister in behalf of those who have remained on earth. The faithful man or woman whose life was centered in protecting and blessing their family here will find those feelings greatly intensified on the other side of the veil. We are not alone.” (The Life Beyond, p. 87)
Although it doesn't heal the heart nor take away the sting, this knowledge does offer comfort. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet boys all the way from California!
I keep reading your blog and just crying. You are obviously a person of great strength, as was Aaron. Blessings to you and your boys as you walk this new road xx
Such beautiful tributes from people who obviously knew and loved Aaron. How wonderful to have such lovely memories. My prayers and thoughts are with you . I love the statement by Joseph McConkie, from Life Beyond .. what a comforting thing to read.
Hi Lisa I'm so very sorry for your loses and what you and your boys are going thru. It's been a few years now since we've seen each other but I treasure the memories of our pre natal classes and many get togethers when kids were little. I have been following your blogs recently and tears fall every time. You are doing such a great job and your strength is inspirational. I would love to catch up with you when you are feeling up to it. My email address is mandyobyrne@bigpond.com Im now living in St. Helens but will be coming up to Lonnie soon. Stay strong Lisa hope to see you soon. Xxx
What beautiful tributes! It's lovely that the paper does that for you. It's a great reminder of just how loved your husband was and how much support there is for you. Thank you for sharing this story. I am touched and amazed at your strength.
Hello Lisa, it is hard for me to find words especially in a foreign language. I just want to say that i am so sorry. I have lightened a candle which will burn all day for you and your family. Thinking of you and sending gu ardian angels for you and your boys Brigitte far away from Switzerland
I think it's really neat that they have a place in your newspaper for people to place tributes. I am sure it makes your heart smile at all of the lives Aaron has touched by his goodness. I am so impressed by your strength. I am grateful I came across your blog. I am drawn to it each morning. I need to see how you and your boys are doing because even though we have never met, you feel like a personal friend.
What a nice custom of putting notes in the paper to a loved one who has passed away. I've never seen that. It seems like it would be so comforting to read all these notes from people who love your family.
Reading all of these beautiful tributes certainly show how loved your dear Aaron was by so many people. May the love and friendship of these people help sustain you and your beautiful family as you carry on your lives without your beloved Aaron and son Noah. Sending love and hugs from Massachusetts, USA -- Shirley
I heard about your story and have been reading your wonderful blog for the past few days. I have four boys too and felt a connection with you right a way. You are an amazing, inspiring woman. This blog is such a beautiful tribute to your husband and son. You are in my thoughts. Jodi
