The 2010 holiday season started with 2 deaths--Aaron's dear friend Maarike was killed by a drunken driver, and then his equally dear friend Zvonko was diagnosed with an agressive brain cancer--died within a couple weeks of diagnosis, leaving a wife and 2 little girls. This double tragedy was very hard to bear, and Aaron was devastated. At least we were all together for Christmas, and were able to give Aaron the comfort of being at home, being with family. We are so very very sorry, and sympathize deeply with Maarike's and Zvonko's families.
Depart, O Christian soul, out of this world;
In the Name of God the Father Almighty who created you;
May your rest be this day in peace,
and your dwelling place in the Paradise of God.
