Priscill and Jim -

Barb and Bill Bouchey

Jim, Priscilla, Evan & Family, Cast Thy Burden Upon The Lord And He Shall Sustain Thee, Psalm 55:22 Words cannot express how I feel about your loss. I will always remember the conversations I had with Aaron at St.Louis Children hospital. He was truly a fine young man and we all loved him but God wanted him to be at rest with him. I know his memories will live forever in your hearts because no one who has ever been loved is lost. I will remember your family in my prayers. 
With Sincere Sympathy and Love. Lucille C. Smith

Dear Priscilla & Jim, 
There are no words to tell you how sorry I am about the loss of Aaron. Having 7 nieces and nephews myself that I love so much, I can't even imagine your pain. Priscilla, you always light up when you talk about your boys - not only about their academic achievements but how darn handsome they are. I am very sorry. I hope you know you are surrounded by my prayers. Cathy Coughlin

Miss Hill-Ardoin, 
I'm sending ALL of my bear hugs to you. I can't wait to visit you in San Antonio. Love Gabi

Jim,I want to extend my sincere sympathy to you and Priscilla on the death of your son. Although I know words are of little help at a time like this, perhaps the knowledge that I am thinking of you and your family will be of some comfort.

May God grant you peace and strength through this time of trial.

Jim, Priscilla, and Evan, Know that our prayers are with you in your hour of bereavement. We love you and we're just a call away. The Randolphs

Ardoin Family, 
Since highschool, I could tell that Aaron was a nice, caring, and ambitious person. He is definately someone we could all model our lives after. He will definately be missed and will also be watching over his family and loved ones. May God be with you in your time of need.

Leslie and I were saddened to learn of Aaron's untimely passing. We will hold his loving family in our thoughts and prayers.

I spent many hours trying to think of the right thing to say before I realized there are no magic words to ease the pain. So I will just tell you that my heart goes out to you and that you are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Larry and Cindi Furrow are my parents and have always talked about how outstanding your family is! Even though we have never met, I feel that I have a connection to your family through them. We are so deeply saddend to hear of your incredible loss, but want you to know we are thinking of your family and will continue to pray that God will help guide you during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, 
Scott and Christi Giese

Priscilla and family, 
We send our deepest sympathies and prayers for you in your time of sorrow. 
God bless 
Rich and Kathy Larios

I never had the pleasure of knowing Aaron personally, but knew well of his brave struggle and, most importantly, his many successes. He most certainly lived large! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Aaron will be truly missed. We were in Surety Ventures FAMU-SBI Insurance Program together. He was such a wonderful person. May God keep you during this difficult time.

Just a short note, to tell you guys how beautiful the service was.Evan your writing of your brother was so heart felt and I know that Aaron was looking down from Heaven and thanking you for the kind words of love that you so graciously bestowed on him. Mr. Aaron quite obviously scripted his on funeral by the way he lived his life.The kind words in the e-mail note that was read...say it all.This family is filled with Love beyond anyones wildness dreams. Jim & Priscilla you did good with two fine young men, that see the love that you have for each other. I love you guys and may Aaron rest in peace. Larry

To Priscilla and Family, 
In this time of loss and sadness, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers to help you through this healing process. However, know that God is with you, carrying you through with open arms and His perfect love. Only God really knows the depth of your grief and only God can give you peace. God knows it will take time for your heart to heal and your son has a place that no one else can fill. If there's any comfort let it be in this, your loved one is with Jesus, in a home that's filled with bliss. There are no tears in Heaven, no more heartache and no pain, only love and happiness for all eternity. I pray that God will continue to watch over you and your family, that He will give you a supernatural peace that passing all understanding.

I, like others, worked with Aaron's Aunt Carolyn, and would like to express my sincere sympathy to the family. May God give you the strength and understanding you need to go forward during this time of pain and loss. I will pray for your family.

Dear Priscilla and Jim: Betty and I are so very sorry about Aaron's passing. Having also suffered the loss of a child, we can appreciate a little of the hurt that you are feeling. Please accept our deepest sympathies and God bless you both. Dick and Betty Wiley

Priscilla and Family, I never knew your children, but I can only think that you were a wonderful mother. God blessed you with a child that was eager to learn as you were. Aaron has everlasting life. You will shed tears, but he is in a much better place where there is no more pain. God be with you during your time of sorrow. Aaron will always be with each of you in heart, mind and spirit. God loves you also. Cry now but always remeber your loving son.

Carolyn: You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Jean

Priscilla, I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your son. Know that Aaron will always live in your heart and mind forever. God only picks the most beautiful flower. He is resting in the arms of the Lord.

To James, Pricilla and Evan, Alfreda and I extend to you and your entire family our deepest sympathy. Your entire faith family at the First Baptist Church of Chesterfield also has your family on our prayer list.

Aaron was such a precocious and energetic little boy. From a young age you could tell he was filled with a desire to learn and grow. I still remember how cute Aaron and Evan were running around church. I do hate that I missed seeing him grow into a young man, but I am thankful I knew him as a little boy. His face will be missed but his spirit will live on in the lives he touched, and his memory will encourage others to strive for excellence.

To the Ardoin Family: On behalf of the Woodard family, we are at our lowest spirit as we bereave with you on the passing of your son, Aaron who is indeed a special friend. Please accept our deepest sympathy. The brotherhood between Merrick Woodard my sonand Aaron is true and everlasting. Although, we personally love Aaron in a christian way, our love extends beyound christianity, yet personally through God our father as Aaron was and is my son's brother and special friends in their own way. Three of his special keepsakes as I know are Merrick, Christopher and Magnus. Therefore, we all have lost during this tradegy and want you to know from our hearts that you are not alone. We ask God to carry us through these lowly moments with you in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you always and we will forever have you in our prayers. 
Sincerely, Brother LeRoy Woodard and Family

Dear Priscilla and James, Priscilla, I remember in St. Louis you telling me one day that there was nothing to big for your God to solve. I have thought of those words often over the years and especially now as I pray for God's comfort during this very difficult time for you and your family. I truly believe that there is nothing to big for God to solve and he will keep his promise to comfort you in the days ahead. You have my deepest sympathy with the loss of Aaron.

Priscilla, James and Evan--My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Debbie McKibben

Priscilla, Go ahead and cry as much as you need to, love on your baby, your pride and joy. You and Jim have been a wonderful parents to both your sons. Your love for Aaron will live on eternally. You are an extrordinary mother who has raised a remarkable son. I will do my best to be as affectionate, loyal and humorous to my boys as you have been to your beloved Aaron. With all that said, still, words aren't enough. I can't explain it but somehow over time, the pain is not as overwhelming and more and more of the life of Aaron comes to mind. We all care so much about you Priscilla. Truly, Jesus will get you through the times ahead. Jesus will never leave nor forsake you. Keep talking to him. Michael, Jackie, Brandon & Zachary White.

Dear Priscilla and Family - My prayers are with you at this very sad time. It is so difficult to lose someone that you love but to lose a child has to be one of life's greatest sorrows. I hope that in the not too distant future the smiles will out number the tears as you think of all the wonderful times with Aaron. God Bless you and your family. With sympathy, Cheryl

You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house. Peter 2:5 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 Come to Me...and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 Dear Ardoin family, please accept these few words of comfort on behalf of the Office of Professional Preparation Services Michigan Department of Education. Our hearts and prayers go out to you in this time of bereavement. May God be with you and comfort you to know that He now holds Aaron in his bossom!

My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. psalm 62:1 To the Hill-Ardoin family..... May God keep you in perfect peace which surpasses all understanding during this time of bereavement and forever more.

Our hearts ache at the loss of your talented and much loved son. We pray for your comfort and for the comfort of all who knew him. We truly believe that while we have heavy hearts, God's Angels must be smiling and applauding, welcoming him home.

It seems we never have our loved ones long enough but Aaron will be forever in your hearts.

Aaron earned the respect and affection of all who had the privilege to know him. He earned rave reviews from our firm as an employee and, more importantly, as a person. Most recently, we were pleased that he sought our advice and support in considering a legal career. We will miss him, but not forget him. He is in our thoughts and prayers. Mike and Nancy

I didn't know Aaron but worked with his aunt Carolyn for many years. My prayers are with his family.

Dearest Jim and Priscilla, 
Words are too hard to find during this time, but please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I was hoping to be there on Friday, but my schedule won't allow. Please take care.

Family Ardoin, I am so sorry about the recent calling of Aaron, be strong and know that he is in a better and safe place now. Our condolences and prayers go out to your family. I did not meet Aaron personally but my mom did and just the way she talked about him, I knew he was a very nice and caring young man. It sometimes seems unfair that best ones are always the first to go, but God needs the best angels to help him. Take care and remember that now it is his turn to take care of you all. He will be missed. With Deepest Sympathy, Sandy and Luis Cerros your housekeeper's Mary daughter

Priscilla and Jim: I too know the sorrow that can result from Sickle Cell Disease, since my nephew suffered the painful effects of this disease until he was called home to be with the Lord at age 16. Please know that the thoughts and prayers of my entire family are with you as you go through these difficult times. I will continue to pray that God will give you strength and comfort. May God continue to bless and keep you.

May you experience God's perfect love and peace during this time.

Priscilla & James: 
 We send you our prayers and thoughts of grace to carry you through. I can hear Priscilla calling Aaron's name at FBC of Chesterfield Church ...the way she moved her mouth when she pronouniced it. He will always be a part of our lives and Thank you for sharing him. His gifts and Talents will not be wasted...For God has need for him just where he is...Blessings and Love....Ken & Linder, Kena & Kenneth Vashone.

Priscilla & James, No time on earth is long enough to share with those we love or to prepare our hearts for good-bye. May time soften the pain util all that remains is the comfort of memories...and the love, always the love. We have so many fond memories of Aaron as a baby and small child and we did love him.

Aaron, 
You are missed. Such beauty in your soul and so much ahead of you. I am proud to have known you and can only accept your passing by trusting in a higher power. The following is a reading from Khalil Gibran's The Prophet: "When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. 
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." The sorrow we feel today is a reflection of the great joy you brought your family and friends. Rest in Peace, 
Caryn and Martin Moir

We wonder why God only picks the absolute best flowers for his garden..to the Hill-Ardoin Family---Weep if you must it's just watering the precious flower that has just been planted in God's garden...Only "GOD", "TIME" AND "PRAYER" can heal our weeping souls.

When Jesus came death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:55,57. We offer assistance and prayers to you in your time of need.

May the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort bring you Peace and Understanding - by and by. Our prayers and deepest sympathy are with you all. 
Isaiah 40:29-31

My thoughts and prayers are with Aaron's entire family at this tragic time. I hope the time comes soon when you can take all the wonderful memories and make the hurt just a little less. I hope you gather strength from all of us who care deeply about you. 
Warmly, 
Joanne

My deepest sympathy to you. I know you will find comfort in the wonderful memories you shared and what a fine young man Aaron was. May God be with you and give you strength and comfort.

Jim and Priscilla: We are so sad to hear of your loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Ed and Joy

I HELPED CARE FOR AARON AT METHODIST SICU WHEN HE WAS HERE. I WANT TO THANK THE FAMILY FOR ALLOWING ME TO GET CLOSE TO THEM AND BE ABLE TO BE BLESSED WITH KNOWING WHAT LITTLE PART OF AARON THAT I DID. I KNOW THIS IS A HARD TIME FOR YOU ALL AND JUST KNOW THAT THERE IS ONE MORE GAURDIAN ANGEL IN HEAVEN THAT KNOWS OUR NAME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOUR FAMILY.
