Missing you my dear friend...
I think of you all the time my dear friend. You are still my piece of home in San Francisco. I cannot believe that it's been five years. The world is a lot less "laid back" without you here. I hate that. I miss you everyday. Peace dude...

Still Bringining Smiles Long After You've Gone
I miss you AB. I think of you often and smile, as I remember all of the wonderful memories you left with me. I will be listening to a lot of Dylan today in your honor. Peace to you.

Aaron is my fraternity brother and friend for life. I am just hearing about this today. Aaron lived at Sussex #59 and I lived at #47. I can remember him like it was yesterday. Always smiling and always inviting us over to his apartment to hang out. Even when I was pledging to him. I have three small boys and my 4 year old was watching the computer as I was watching the pictures on the slide show and he asked who was in the pictures. I told him a great friend who had moved on. My son Riley looked at me and said dad don't worry you will see him one day in heaven. My son is correct. My heart prays for his family and friends. ATO for life.

Dreams of Aaron
Jesssica and I recently traveled to France. We were there for over two weeks mainly in the country side. We started in Provence than we made our way to Burgundy and the last three days we were in Paris. During our stay in France I dreamt of Aaron on more than one occasion and he beamed with happiness. We don't know why,but Jess and I thought about Aaron a lot on our travels and because of the beauty of France, the food, and especially the fine wine, we were reminded about how Aaron remains a beautiful soul in our hearts. Love you Aaron

The full moon
Thinking of our walk in Stinson beach at the end of September 2005. It was a full moon and we laughed and laughed and laughed. You are ever present in my days Choochie. Love, love, to you in your peaceful place. I feel your presence every day.

Remembering
Dear Aaron, The last five years have passed like days. We miss you always, every day, and wish you were here. Time hasn't made your absence any more acceptable or endurable. Now you come to us in dreams and thoughts, music and nature, pictures and conversations. I wish we could have you back. Love you forever. -

Aaron - I think about you frequently. I just got back from a run and talked to you on the way. Have a good day my friend. I enjoyed running with you this morning.

Thinking of you today, my friend
AB, just thinking of you today, like many other days and thought I'd pay a visit to the site. Seeing the pictures and video make me smile, my friend.

Swept Across Forever
The time you won your town the race,
we cheered you through the marketplace.
Man and boy stood cheering by
as home we brought you shoulder-high…
Smart lad to slip betimes away
from field where glory does not stay…
Early through the laurel grows,
it withers quicker than a rose
Now you will not swell the rout
of lads that wore their honors out,
runners whom renown out ran,
….and the name died before the man….
And ‘round that early laurelled head
will flock to gaze the strengthless dead…
And find unwithered on its curls….
a garland briefer than a girl’s.
Now take back the spirit of Aaron Nathanael Barnard,
whom has momentarily been shared with us.
He brought us honesty, courtesy, courage, integrity,
honor, duty, sincerity and compassion
He brought us joy……
……and we loved him well.
He was not ours.
He was not mine.

AB always
Everytime I see something with my son's intials on it, "AB", I am reminded of that infectous enthusiam for life that Aaron always carried with him. I hope my son shares more in common with you that those 2 letters.

I never met you in person, but through helping to create your site I have come to appreciate you. I just want to tell you that it is obvious you are missed by your Mother and Terry. You meant alot to them.
