I still cant believe that it has been a year since you slipped out of our lives. The short time that I got to know you--will be with me always. I wish you were here to see the boys--how LJ and Jasmine still talk about "daddy" and how Leslie is still loving you and missing you terribly.
Leslie I love you girl-always. I know that this time marks a moment that we have overcome and a moment that we will never forget. I know that GOD has taken you from a place that you didnt know how you were going to come out of it. Now you are at a place where you cant wait to see what the future holds for you. I am so very proud of you in so many many ways. I love you girl--keep smiling and stay strong.

To MY FAMILY, I love/loved Eron with all my heart as I do all of you. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by all who he came in contact with. I just don't have enough words to express my sorrow or to make any of you feel better. Mommie we have been through so much and I know this has been painful. I want you to know that God ALWAYS has a plan even when we as humans don't understand it. Leslie I know your heart is heavy and I have no words to change that, but I'm here if you need me sis. Anthony, Tonya, Patrice, JJ, and Lil Derrick who isn't so little anymore, I love you and WHEN not if you need me give me the chance to show up for you as I have when needed in the past. I am praying for all of you.
With a sad and heavy heart
Your Sister,

My Baby Leslie,
You know that we will all miss Eron, but noone will miss him more than you. You know you have a family that will be here for you no matter what. You know the word tells us that GOD will never give us more that we can bare. Keep standing and see how "GREAT" GOD will allow you to become in the midst of it all. I Love you...always keep smiling

Johnson Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked indirectly with Eron when he was working for UPS. He's definitly a person that leaves a lasting impression on you. A very respectable, outgoing, personable, friendly person. This has really laid heavy on my heart. May God be with your family and friends during this time.

We at Averett see ourselves as an extended family, and it is tragic to see the loss of a young man who had such motivation to excel in his educational pursuits. Please know that those of us who teach in the traditional program will also be praying for you and your family in the difficult days ahead.

Mrs. Dephine, Tonya (India) Anthony, Patrice, Derek and JJ:
I was so saddend to hear the news of Eron's passing. My heart has been so very heavy and my words will never heal your hurt. I find comfort in knowing that God still sits on the throne and he has all of you in his hands. Tonya and I have been friends for so long and I can remember so many times when Eron would tell us "what to do" back in the day.
We were all so happy to have him at SaVar's birthday party (he had a great time in the garage with my dad). I know that God will give you all the strength to get through this because you are a strong family. I love you all and I am here if you need me. "ERON" rest in peace!!!!!

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

SGT Leslie Lewis-Johnson, I often think about AUG 2008 in Germany when you told me and my husband you was getting married and how excited you was that GOD had sent your "BO". I know you are going to miss Eron, but where he is where we are trying to get to see KING JESUS. Our prayers are with you, your a STRONG solider girl. If you need us we are here for you.

Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers. While I did not know your brother, I know he had to be similarly sweet and wonderful as you. From the comments, I can tell he was very well thought of. Keep your head up and lean on your family. We, your Polo Family, will be thinking of you!

Johnson Family, I want to extend my deepest sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Eron was a very nice intelligent guy who didn’t meet a stranger. He was a great friend who I had a lot in common with from sitting around talking about our spouses and our babies. I know that he is in a better place and that God won’t put more on you than you can bear. God bless you all and Mrs. Johnson If you are reading this feel free to contact me if you ever just need to talk.

To Mrs. Johnson and the Johnson Family,
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to you at this time of grief.
I have had the pleasure of working with Eron for a short period of time but it felt like we knew each other forever. I had adopted him as my brother and I am so saddened about his passing. We would talk about GOD all the time and i know that he was serious about his walk with jesus, and I know that he is in a better place, rejoicing with the king. Eron was such a sweet person and a proud Husband and Father. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
I will keep you in my prayers.

I have only known him a couple of months here at Vangent, but he left a deep impression in my life.
He was full of love for you and the your children and daily talked about you all. He was a sincere person and always very helpfull in assisting his co-workers.
He will be missed, sincerely!
Eron , keep your arms embraced around your family.

I would like to extend my condolences to the entire Johnson family and friends. I have known Eron only for a short period of time at Vangent, but it has felt like forever. We would have casual conversation about his family. He truly cherished his wife and children and it felt like yesterday when he came to me expressing that he has new additions on the way.
A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is
usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have
come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you
with guidance and support, to aid you physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a
godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason
you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an
Inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realise is that our need has been met, our
desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you
sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .
Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person, and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said
that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Mrs. Johnson, I just wanted to let you know that I had the pleasure of training your husband when he got hired at Vangent. He was an extremely religious man and he spoke of you and your daughter often. We had numerous conversations about God and how he was moving in both of your lives, how you prayed together and studied the word of God. I must say for the short time I new him it was a pleasure and his words of wisdom blessed me greatly. Remember that he is not gone he is your heavenly angel watching over you, may God be your light and give you strength through this time, and I pray with you and for you that when you fill alone that the Holy Spirit will comfort you.

Eeron ..... I am very saddened of your passing. I know we didnt really know each other that well, but from working with you at Vangent, and just general conversations with you, made me feel as if I had known you for ever. Your personality alone, told a lot about you. The thought of me going to work tomorrow, knowing that I wont here your greeting first thing in the morning hurts so bad. I will never forget you, but I will always miss you. No good bye's ..... See you later for now.
