The holidays are usually a time when families gather and share the holiday cheer, but this Christmas will be one like no other for Ahmaud Arbery’s family. Ahmaud was unfortunately brutally gunned down in Brunswick, GA on February 23. His mother, Wanda Cooper Jones, has decided to continue spending holidays dedicated to her family. As a result, she has arranged a plethora of events in honor of her son.
Before paying homage to Ahmaud Arbery on Christmas day, the family plan to get together at Wanda’s mom’s house and reminisce on their time spent with her beloved son. The family will honor Ahmaud during the family dinner, making his favorite family recipe, southern butter beans. They will end Christmas day with a trip to the graveyard to pay their respects. Ahmaud’s resting place is located just outside of Waynesboro, Ga.
