My sister-in-law, Karen, left this poem for Aaron. I think it's beautiful and I want to share it with those who have their home with him now. And for their families."For Aaron,
The shadows of his fellows ring him round
In the high night, the summer breathes for them
It's fragrance, a heavy somnolence, and for him,
For the soldier of time, it breathes a summer sleep,
In which his wound is good because life was.
No part of him was ever part of death.
Surely the virtues embodied by these heroes are timeless.
by Wallace Stevens"

What a wonderful poem! You love your son very much and so does his entire family. He must have been quite a young man. :-)
