I’m friends with Kelly Jo. I met her at a quilt retreat 8 years ago and we’ve remained friends through social media. Aaron was her best friend as well as her brother. He was her rock… and she is going to miss him terribly. This family has had so much loss. I’m so very sorry. I pray Jesus comforts you as only He can. Sending love and prayers. ~Mama Pris Phillips
Kelly Jo I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother. His presence brought light and joy into your life and the lives of his family and all that knew him. During this difficult time, please know that my thoughts are with you. My heart aches for you as you navigate through the pain of losing your brother and best friend.
Kelly Jo, I’m truly sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I know he was the light to you, his family and friends. I know how much your brother meant to you and how close you were. My heart aches for you during this difficult time.
Sending love and support to you.
My heart aches for your family once again and all I can offer is alot of prayers for you all
You were my heart twin, Aaron. You weren’t one of those… to know him is to love him… no, you had to love first and then you never let go.
I’m happy that you’re with John and at peace but I can’t believe both of you are gone.
Until we meet again, little brother. I love you.
Kelly I’m so very sorry for your great loss! You are in our prayers!
Kelly ,Kelly Jo ,Alex and Tara So sorry for you loss Praying that God our Heavenly Father will Comfort your family during this difficult time
Sending much love and prayers
Aaron was hands down my best buddy here in NWA. Truly a great friend to have. Funny as hell, always there when you needed him, and cared greatly for those that were close to him. I’m devastated by this loss, and the world’s a little less bright without him here. Love you Tara. My prayers are with you and the family during this tough time.
