You and Sammy are 21 today. I did a shelter gig tonight with like 20 of our friends who came with us in your memory. I love you boo. I miss you. Memories, oh gosh, so many. As usual party here afterwards. You are still the man. Who would have thought? I met strangers tonight of your friends who asked people to look me up to remember you and them. I did good honey. You may be gone, but am doing my best to help others that need help. I do this in your name. Everyone knows Aaron Stratz. You are the best, the brightest and the most perfect (yeah right :) but you are and always will be mine. Daddy and I thought of you all day. You would have been proud. G&G Swenson and G&G Stratz called. I cannot tell you the number of your friends that came, (I saw baby Aaron, Trevor's son tonight) or called, e-mailed, face booked etc. I will do my best to bring the site up to date. Remember though I am in tax season so it might take a little time. Your brother can finally talk about you without breaking down. He misses you so much. He loves you so much. Please watch over him. I love you Boo, you and Benj, I mean I really love you.
----Mom (you know the bitch you loved to hate at 16, but really love so much as I do you. You were such a teen-ager, I wish you were here grown up. We could have so much fun.)
