Aaron Michael Christian
Aaron Michael Christian of DeSoto, Texas, beloved son, brother & uncle, passed away April 14, 2009. He was born September 1, 1983. An avid fisherman, Aaron loved being outdoors. He is survived by his parents, Mike & Kelly Christian; brother, Colin Christian; niece, Erin Elizabeth Christian; grandparents, Mike & Christi Gibson and Robert & Linda Christian; great grandmother, Evelyn Davenport, along with many aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends. Funeral Service is 2:00 PM, Saturday, April 18, 2009 at Hampton Road Baptist Church, 400 N. Hampton Rd., DeSoto, TX. Burial will follow at Laurel Land Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6-8 PM, Friday at Jaynes Memorial Chapel in Duncanville.
This has been the hardest year of my long life. Without my friends here on DG, I would not have made it. Many, many of you have lost dear loved ones, I know that. I am sorry that I continue to be so selfish. Tomorrow is one year. Where did the time go? The idea that a grandchild would go to eternity before I would, never, ever entered my mind. God has taught me many lessons in this past 12 months. I'm trying very hard to listen to Him. April 14 will forever be a day of tragedy.
kisses and hugs
So sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers as you remember this young one. May God bring you comfort.
Best wishes LouC,
May this next year bring peace and happiness to you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words once again. Seems like only yesterday. Without your support, I could not have progressed this far.
I love each of you very much.
PK
You and your grandson are both in my thoughts and prayers. May you find more peace this year and may the pain lessen.
love, katie
God bless.
Big hugs Christi!!
Princess, I remember when you announced that dreadful news like it was only last week. We are still with you in this. It is said time heals all wounds. Sometimes, it would be nice if time worked a bit faster. Gail and I send prayers.
Lovingly,
Malama & Pu'ole, a.k.a. Gail & Sylvain.
Hugs to you, Christi!!!!
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.
Canon Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918
So sorry for your loss.
Melissa
Hugs and kisses Christi and Mike. We love you so very much. You are in our prayers.
That is a beautiful poem Melissa. Thanks for posting it.
Jeanne
Thinking of you both on this sad anniversary...
Love from us all.
Melissa, we asked the pastor to read that same poem at the grave site. It is so true.
Thank each of you. May God protect you.
