I only knew Dr. Aram a short time, and was incredibly blessed to be one of his last patients, but his healing touch has made a permanent impact on my life. I was young to be facing double knee replacement (same age as Tony -- we had bonded about the "joys" of turning 50) and quite upset about it. His explanation of what was wrong, and his solution for fixing it, made so much sense. And he was kind in the face of my hysteria. I left his office with complete confidence that I was in the best hands. My first surgery had been scheduled for the day he passed, but by the grace of God and two cancellations, I was able to have both surgeries with Dr. Aram -- clearly the result of divine intervention. Today, I am back climbing Bull Run Mt. three days a week, walking my border collies for miles and lifting weights in the gym -- all pain free. I wish I could share this triumph with Dr. Aram, because it was his skill that brought me here. I know Dr. Aram was a religious man and since his death, I have been wearing my scapular with the knowledge that anything can happen at any time. I think he would approve. God bless you and you are in my prayers.
