Our Deepest Sympathies  / Carole Townsend (Cousin to Aaron's mother Janice )
Janice, Katie and family: We are so sorry to hear of Aaron's death - I can not even begin to imagine the grief you are feeling with the loss of your son and brother. We are thankful for the opportunity we had to be together with y'all this past summer. We will treasure those memories. May you be comforted to know that God has promised life eternal for those who place their trust in Him. May the love you shared and your memories of Aaron comfort you. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Carole and Bob

With deepest sympathy  / Andy Miles (Co-worker)

I offer my deepest condolences to the family and close friends of Aaron Cook. I had the privilege of working right next to him and I enjoyed interacting with him on a daily basis. He had a great sense of humor and really cared about people. Based on the Bible's hope for the future, I hope to see Aaron again in paradise following the resurrection on earth. He will be missed.

With deep sympathy  / Marci Bryan (Friend of Thomas Cook )

To Thomas and Family:  my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this moment of loss.  The death of a child is perhaps the most difficult passing to cope with.  Remember Aaron, his accomplisments and struggles, his place in your family and all he gave to each of you.  May he rest in peace and you, too, experience the peace of God that passes all understanding.  Marci Bryan

To Charles Thomas Cook and Family  / Martin Masters
Thomas, 

Even though I've never met or spoken to Aaron, I want to express my sincere condolences to you and family during this difficult time. In the short while I've known you through our collaboration on the Illinois RFP, I can genuinely say that Aaron must have been an extraordinary young man. As it happens, I have 2 sons ages 24 and 19, both of whom I (and my spouse Elaine) cherish with all my being. After reading Aaron's legacy I was impressed with the zest he had for caring about others and the love his family had for him. I can only hope that my sons live their lives with much of the same qualities Aaron possessed. 

Aaron will remain in my thoughts and prayers as he has surely passed on to rest in peace.

Sincerely,

Martin Masters Close
