Aaron Says “It is an Honor and Privilege to serve and assist the families of Central Oregon as they travel along the journey of grief and loss and hopefully, by doing so, in some small part, I may also bring honor to and pay forward the care, concern, and comfort that has been bestowed on me while I wandered a path of my own.”
