Sept. 2012, 10:00 P.M.

The first Fall without him is upon me. I worked late in my office tonight on the book and as I labored I felt him move through the room; his breath through the open window gently moving my hair.

His Son sleeps upstairs on soft linen sheets , his quiet dreams filled with visions of a man he never really knew bearing silent witness to each step he will take throughout his life. And in his sometimes troubled sleep, he passes the dark night as he did when his Father placed him in his bed for the last time.

In Shon and his brothers, I still see the marvelous inseparability between who he was and whom they are.

For Aaron, has come the reckoning. It stretches before me, and others still, like a promise too long deferred.

This is for you, Aaron. I will again feel you as surely as I can touch your children or my own flesh. You are mine and God's

His Peace!

Well sweetie, the holidays are passed and so many nights I was on my face,holding your urn. Only GOD knows this mother"s pain. Lana who use to go to our church came by,she had never met you but she said God had told her to tell me,you said,"MOM I LOVE YOU". She had no idea that you called me Mom unless you got scared. I MISS YOU SO MUCH,that words are inadequate. I know you are holding your pappaw's hand and mammaw and I can see you smiling. Shon is growing and comes in smiling like you always did. I don't get to see him the way I want too,but God see's it all. Nothing is hid from his almighty eyes. It will all be over soon and we will hold each other and all be together while the ages roll on. I love you my prescious beloved son.

I was so shocked when Vickie called to tell me the dreadful news. I felt as if I could just cry forever. It did not seem real and I wanted it to just all go away. Aaron, Brian and my son Kevin were just like brothers growing up. They were always together it seemed. I know that they looked forward to spending time together and I thought it would always be that way. I will always remember them as the 3 brothers/best friends.
Aaron you will be and are greatly missed by all who truly knew you. I just can't get over this tragedy at such a young age. Hopefully we will all be together when this life is over.
My thoughts and prayers are with the remaining family as we all do our best to deal with the loss.

You were like a brother to me while we were growing up so I will always cherish those moments we shared and I will always keep a place in my heart for you as long as I shall live.


My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me
I'm glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don't feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see him again someday
