"My condolences to the Vu family, for your great, great loss. Please in your spare time, read Mark 5:38-42, for it show how Jesus brought back to life a child and gave the child back to the parents, and verse 42 says: the parents were beside themselves with great ecstasy. Yes this show that Jesus with the help of his father, God, has the ability and the love and want, to bring back our loved ones. Please find some strength and comfort, knowing you may see little Aaron again soon."

"My heart will never be the same now that I know Aaron is not here. Although, I only knew Aaron from conversations with his mother and father at the salon, I know they love Aaron and will miss him very much. I pray that God give the Vu family strength to go on and peace to understand Aaron's life purpose. "

"To my angel Aaron, as I write these words tears a falling from my heart. All I can imagine is your voice calling Ms. Rene, and looking in your eyes as you stare at me. The memories of you doing your impression of Michael Jackson in my back yard will never leave my memories. I am deeply sorry that I was not around to keep this from happening, and I'm deeply sadden. To your parents, I'm deeply sorry, for your loss, but my father in heaven have plans for his special angel. I miss you getting on my last nerves on purpose as you see my attention. Love you always. Ms. Nardine Rene Dumas"

"To the family of Aaron, please except my sincere condolences over the loss of this dear child. . In the Bible, we find the wonderful hope of a resurrection (John 5:28 & 29).... Rev 21:4 promises that soon mourning, pain, and even death will be a thing of the past. Until then, may your precious memories carry you through and may the God of tender mercy be a source of comfort during this time of pain. James 5:11"

"Aaron is gone but will never be forgotten. He was a ten year old who loved life. He permeated everyone he met, with the life and happiness in him. My husband and I were two of the last people he would see at the end of the day when mom or dad picked him up along with his younger siblings. He would say: "Bye Mr. & Mrs. Davis." If I was not there he never left without telling my husband to say bye to me. Aaron, you will truly be missed. I will always cherish the fond memories of your warm smile."
