Hey Yall
I know I know I am days late, but HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to both of you:-} I did think about both of you on your birthday I just didn't get to computer on time. Better late than never(RIGHT)!!!!! Well I hope your birthdays were as special as you guys are. I know you enjoyed yourselves. It still seem so unreal to know that when I pull up in the neighbor hood I won't see Marc in Ms. Beverly parking space and ED double parked in the fire lane. In a few more days we will hit 1 whole year since you guys were called home to do big and better things. Believe me when I say your not missing nothing down here but the fam but you will see them and us again!!! Believe that!!!!!You guys are truly missed and still thought about.

Well as you both know 2 months from now it will be 1 year that you both have been gone. Sometimes its hard to pull up in the neighbor hood and know that neither one of you will be there. Marc you was always in somebodies parking space and ED you stay double parked in the FIRE LANE! It's crazy right! Today and tomorrow is not promised to any of us and we take that very lightly and for granted. I just want you both to know that you are truly missed a lot. You will never be forgotten but often thought about! Until we meet again watch over us and keep us safe and out of harms way. You both are an angels now baby!!!

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.

Dear Vi and Johnny, I know that no words that are said, and no deeds done can ease the pain that you must endure right now. However, it is my earnest prayer that through the Love of God, the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ and the comfort of the Holy Spirit that you will find the strength needed to continue in this life knowing that Mark Mark and Edward have crossed a path that we all must take and that they rest in the hands of a merciful God. As I thought of them today I could feel Mark Mark in my arms as you told me to put him down cause I was spoiling him and I could ear Edward talking determined to have the last word, and as the tears flowed again I thanked God for those memories and I thanked him for protecting Sophelia and Sammie. God's grace is sufficient and endures forever and the day will come when the pain will ease and memories will be remembered with laughter instead of tears. I love you.

My thoughts are with entire Woodland family, as well as the children Ed left behind. I can't believe that it has been a month since we said good-bye, because I find myself thinking about them (Marc, Ed, Nut) constantly... Reminiscing about all the times we had together, they are truly missed.

To the Woodland Family, I am praying for the Lord to mend our broken hearts. My heart is so heavy right now with the fact that my 3 brothers, Marc, Ed, and William are not physically on this earth but I believe that God is there to comfort. God only knows why he took such strong and determined individuals, so with that we must trust in him and lean not on our own understanding. I love the Woodland Family and we are in this together.

Un & Ed, I loved you like you were my own. I thank God for the times that we got to share as family & friends. The cooking,movies conversating and just time of laughter. Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Much Love to the Family.

To my TWO BROTHERS!! MARCUS & ED!! I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU!! This poem is dedicated to you!!!
"WHY I CRY INSIDE"
It seems like it was just yesterday that I saw your face,
And just that quick GOD called you back to his place.I MISS YOU.
Because you ARE my brothers,
My STRENGTH, My PRIDE,
Only GOD knows why I cry inside.
I sit and ask the LORD,
Who killed ya'll? And Why?
Because you ARE my brothers,
My STRENGTH, My PRIDE,
Only God knows why I cry inside.
I know now that your in a better place,
And the last time I talked to you I wish that I could have seen your face, I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU,
Because you ARE my brothers,
My STRENGTH, My PRIDE,
Only GOD knows why I cry inside.
I want to see you,
But I have to wait for that special day,
When GOD calls me home,
I'll know just what to say....
I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU,
I wish you were by my side,
Because you ARE my brothers,
My STRENGTH, My PRIDE,
And now YOU KNOW "WHY I CRY INSIDE"

What can I say? I am still in shock about both of you guys! Things just will not be the same nowing that when I pull up on Congress Pl I will not see that volvo sitting in someone elses parking space any more or see ED standing on the corner of his mothers house. You will always and forever be missed. Mrs. Voilet and Mr. Johnny you will always and forever be in my prayers. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Always smile and keep your head up because you have not one but two angels watching over you now!!

I remember John from when we went to high school at Largo. He was always cool and I would still occasionally see him even after we graduated just out and about. The last time I saw him was just a few months back at the mall with his family. He was always still a cool funny dude he was when we were freshman in high school. I pray that God guides and keeps you through this difficult time.

I really don't remember your sons at Largo, but I do remember the names. And A lot of people that I keep in touch with have told me about what happened. I can't begin to imagine what it is like for a parent to lose a child. My parents lost my brother when I was younger and they made it through. Thats all I want to say. You all can make it through. It will be hard at times, I can't lie but you can make it. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Ed and Marcus will forever be missed and cherished vividly in my memories of us all playing up at the dead end of Congress Place, adjacent to their house. The memory of Marcus's sense of humor will withstand the test of time and will always be a vibrant memory in my mind. The conversations we had when we would meet up on my visits home from Texas will last a lifetime. You both will be cherished in the hearts and minds of your loved ones forever.

Mr. & Mrs. Woodland,
I am very saddened to hear of your tragic loss. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child(ren). I pray that God gives you strength as you both go through these difficult times. Just looking at their pictures -- it seems that they both were very close not only as brothers, but as best friends too. Hold on to God's unchanging hands, and may you both heal in time.

Mr. and Mrs. Woodland, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family in this time of need. I can remember Ed driver that little gray car up and down the parking lot. I used to say, "I know he spends more money on gas just to drive the parking lot then he do on city streets. They both will be truly missed.

I did not know your son's, but I was touched by this loss. The only comfort that all of us can rest in and be secure in is the comforting spirit of The Lord Jesus Christ. My prayer is that not only in the loss of these to young men do family turn to the Christ, but all who have witnessed your loss with you. May the grace of God be sufficient for you, and may his strength be made perfect in your weakness.

Mr. and Mrs. Woodland,
John was one of the very first students I met 13 years ago when I started to teach. John was beibng John and decided that I was not going to teach. I then told him to shut up and he informed me that he was bring his mother to school to beat me up. I did not know then that he would become an ally of mine and that he would visit my home just to see how I was doing and the latest things going on in Largo and to check on my parents. He had a great regard for me and offered me the utmost respect at all times. My heart goes out to you and your family during your hour of need and know that my parent and I are here for you.

We have known both Marcus and Edward almost all of their lives. Memories of Edward chasing Stephanie and Jennifer home from school when they were 6 years olds and the next day both of them chasing him home still makes us smile. Marcus, the baby, and my memories are that he was always soft spoken and polite. Such a loss. This has touched not only their family, but the community family. Our heartfelt sympathy to Vi and Johnny. Your loss is our loss.
