It has been 20 years. I still remember our last conversation like it was yesterday. The young adults are doing what they want to do. As for me, I am doing well; finished with my Master's degree looking to get thar Dr. In front of my name. 1-4-3

Well hey there stranger,
I know it has been a while since I posted, but never forget you are always in my heart. I am back in school getting my Master's Degree, yes I know you say I am always changing.
Trasi is doing so well, she has started her own doggy daycare and training. Yes, she is her own boss like she said. Rara is getting married to Lanisha, I really like her she is so good for him; they will be moving to Rhode Island soon. And your name sake, Aaron, he is truly your son. He has your mindset on business and will not let anyone deter him. He is head strong and with focus he will be great.
When I am in New Orleans, I know you see me blow kisses to you when I visit. ;). Just know that I love you always

Hey Man,
I miss you and those talks we used to have. I was cooking baked Mac and cheese the other day and thought of you and your silly memes. My daughter's birthday is the the day before yours and I always tell her about you. I wish you were here to meet her.

June 3, 2015

Today you would have been 41. I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREATEST HUSBAND and FATHER. I know we had good and bad days but you were a great husband and father. FOREVER in my heart, Javelin Woodland

It's always hard around this time; I can remember getting ready to go on vacation the next moment I'm preparing to tell our children that they will never see you again. You are truly missed. Your daughter is graduating, you're son is leaving for the army in November and your name sake is doing his thing on the football field. We are doing fine but it would have been better with you here. I have met the man of my dreams, you would be so proud. Always in my heart,

Your wife

June 3, 2012

Just thinking back to when you would just call to say " you loved me" you would be singing it but you couldn't sing. I can hear ur voice like it was yesterday. Remembering all the birthdays we shared together, the blowing out the candles to the cake in the face...... (laughing) You were the one that made me feel like i was the most special person in your life and u made sure I knew it. I love you always Happy Birthday Baby........

From me,

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AARON!!!!!! This is my seventh New Year without you being here. I am so proud of our children you would be too. I thank God that He put you in my life for a season and gave me everything that I needed so that when it was time for you to depart I was equipped with all that I needed to survive. God knew exactly what our outcome would be and I know that you are still looking down on us and saying that's my family right there. I love you and I miss you, but most of all I want to thank you for the memories........
I just read Trasi's post and started thinking about the times we just went out of town just because it is not the same without you but I am trying to make their lives as normal as possible.
A NEW YEAR A NEW BEGINNING!!!!!!! IT'S EITHER ALL OR NOTHING

Love always,

Hey dad omg it has been a min since someone wrote on here. That doesn't mean we forgot about you or anything! Yesterday as I was walking into my dorm there was this girl and her dad walking out she says to him "remember the memories we made at the fair how we used to go on rides just to get sick?" That brought tears to my eyes because I remember the time we went to the fair but I was to chicken to get on the ride here it is almost 8-9yrs later and I got on it. I remember the memories we made when we went to Six Flags over GA and how we rode the Superman ride and other scary rollercoasters over and over again you are definitely the reason why I have to get on the most scariest ones over and over again. I miss you alot life and times have definitely changed I'm still in school in my Junior year I can't to get my Bachelors in May 2012! Then its off to Medical School!!!! Wish you were here!! Omg you should see how tall and limber Rara is and Aaron's drive and love for football
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

Love Always,
Trasi!!

It seems like only yesterday that Javelin and you were married. Friends as you are a rare jewel. I'll never forget how much you inspired our marriage and ministered to us to just hang in there. And today, I can say that you are one of the main reasons for our continued unity. We miss you dearly and thank God for the season, even though it was too short, you were a part of us and a true inspiration. I know that your crown of Glory is full of God's best jewels for your loving, caring accomplishments and dedication to His will here on earth. We love you and will never forget you. Until we meet again......

Today makes the 5th year of your death.... I do miss you and hate the fact that you are missing out on our children growing up...... We all went to the football game today, Aaron did very well they beat Shiloh 26-7. You would be so proud of them all. Well its about that time for me to get off here, but I'm trying to get on with my life and it seems hard. Thank God he blessed us with you for a season.

Well you would have 35 today, I just wanted to just say Happy Birthday to U. I have met someone that is just wonderful, he knows what I need when I need its and he knows me inside out. He knows when I am being truthful with him. And I just wanted to say that the kids like him he is a good man and I am in love with him and I did not think that I would find someone that would feel the spot where you once were. But I have and I love him with all my heart and soul. Much love to you and I'll see you in heaven but not too soon.

Hey Dad I know its been awhile since I last wrote you. Life has just gotten so busy I started college in the Fall of 2008! I attend "The" Fort Valley State Universty. I just been really thinking about you lately I miss you like crazy! Lately I just been really drained! I've been physically, emotionally, and mentally drained. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my way I just need you here to sit next to me and rub my head and give me good advice like you used to. Life is constantly changing sometimes I wonder if I can keep up or am I even ready for this. I don't know what God has in store for me in the future but I know its greatness! I really wish you was here to share in every moment with us but I know you're here in spirit!

I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!
LOVE ALWAYS,

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Javelin Hi,



I was searching for something else and came up on this website which I recognize was no accident. I hope this message finds you and your children doing well and resting in the grace of our lord and savior Jesus The Christ. I was very disheartened to see your man of God leave his body but I am jealous because I know he is present with the Lord. I know that you are still gaining strength to deal with your loss.

It is a process and will only be obtained one day at a time.



Aaron left you in good hands and with a great harvest of prayers. He was an awesome man of God and I am certain, one of God's favorites. We do love you and I pray that you reap from the seeds your husband has sown and find God's perfect plan for your life. You are a mighty warrior in Christ and you possess many dynamic gifts. God will be big to anyone who will let him and he wants to be big for you.
