With our Thanks
God has thrown us a few big hurdles these past three years, but the passing of our dear Elwood "Woody"; husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather has been, by far, the biggest and most difficult. Quiet man he was, but he sure filled our lives with love & memories. We are truly blessed and thankful for the gift he was and the time we had with him. Our hearts are broken, and we miss him very much ...in our hearts forever.
