Aaron was the recipient of a liver transplant in November, 2001. This beautiful gift gave him 14 more years of life that he otherwise would not have had. We wish to extend our warmest gratitude to UW Hospital staff in Madison who cared for Aaron for the last 15 years of his illness. Special thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Aaron's liver donor and her family. The Lord has now given Aaron the opportunity to thank her in person. Aaron will be greatly missed by his wife and children, as well as his extended family members. We look forward to the day we will see him again.
