This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Joshua Woods who was born in Illinois on November 16, 1999 and passed away on December 08, 2005 at the age of 6. We will remember him forever. 

Joshua was a free spirited little boy, who had just started kindergarten and loved to ride his scooter. He would make us laugh all the time. He loved Bob The Builder, Caillou, and Dragon Tales.

He loved his brother so very much. He loved everyone in his family very much. He would teach his younger brothers things all the time. He tood pride in the work he did in school, and what he accomplished at home.

Now he is in Heaven with Mema, Papa, and Great-Grandpa Skaggs, His Great Grandma and Grandpa Drummond, and his older Brother Christopher who passed away at birth on Sept. 8, 1998. 

Joshua was taken from us when a Southwest Plane overshot the runway and crashed onto 55th and Central at Midway Airport, crushing him in the car. That day will live on in my head for the rest of my life.



 Tell Me Why

Please God, tell me why
Loved ones have to die.
It's not fair, and it's not right,
Oh God, Why that night?

I didn't think life could end so fast,
He was so young, but his years didn't last.
Now it's too late to say goodbye,
Please God, Tell me why?

Even if his sould is free,
Now his dreams can never be
Children aren't suppose to die,
I need an answer, God, Please tell me why?

Maybe life isn't what it seems,
And not all boys get their dreams
I know we're all ment to die,
Still God, I have to ask you, "Why?"

God's Garden
God looked aroudn his garden
And he found an emply place
He then looked down upon this Earth
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
god's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never,
Get well on Earth again

He saw that the road was gettingrought
and the hills were hard to climb
He closed you weary eyelids 
And Whispered, "Peace By Thine".

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Love Mommy and Daddy

No Farewell Words 
were spoken
No time to say Good-bye
You were gone 
before we knew it
and only God
knows why.

Why me?
"My Precious Child", God said to him.
Come with me, to my garden
and you will be free.
The child went with him and asked God,
"Why do you take me and leave
my family to cry and suffer?". 
God replys, "They will not suffer my child, your family will remember you, and they will do everything in rememberance of you as they do for me. Your spirit will live on within them as well as others. I need you my child up here."
The child replys, "Will my Mommy and Daddy ever forget me?" 
God replys, "No my child, they will not forget about you. You are precious to them. But remember, they love you and did everthing they could to save you."
The child says, "I know they did. I heard them calling me, and crying. I know they love me, but why do you love me more."
God said, "I don't love you more, I love you equally as your parents, but you where the one I needed up here to help prepare their resting place. You were the perfect flower I needed to make my garden complete."
The child said, "Thank you God for picking me and believing in me. And always let my Mommy and Daddy and brothers know I love and miss them very much."
God said, "You just did. They can hear you in their hearts everytime you speak to them."
