Message: My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Aaron. I was pretty much in shock when I seen his name in the obitiuary's of the Minot Paper. Aaron went to the MSU-Bottineau branch when I was a custodian there. Him and I got to be freinds and him and I and Jeremy Aldrich from Idaho always went skiing together up in the Bottineau area. Then we took our March 2003 ski trip to Red Lodge Montana. What a memory is was and what fun we had together. Aaron you will always be in my prayers and your family will be watched over by the hands and site of our heavely father, Jesus Christ. God Bless all of you. Dave Slyter Sabin, Mn
