When my modular house was set, Woody came to watch. He said, ‘This is exciting!’ I never could figure out if he was excited that I was getting a new house or he was just excited to see the actual process. He stayed all day and talked with
Pop. I they thought that they were supervising the operation! My sincere sympathy to a family who has endured many losses this year.
Rose and Larry, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.The years go by so fast it does’t seem that long ago that we were all just growing up and going to school together. Your Mom and Dad were such good parents. I know you will miss him a lot.

Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4)’? May God provide you and your family with peace and comfort during this difficult time. The Bible shares a wonderful resurrection hope for future. I pray that you find comfort in the wonderful promises of John 5:28, 29 and Acts 24:15.
My thoughts and prayer’s are with your family. Woody was a wonderful, caring, kind hearted, all around great friend and neighbor he will truly be missed. I am happy I had the pleasure to know such a outstanding man. He was the kind of person that made you feel at home as if you were family. May his memories comfort you knowing he has gone home.
