Doris, Laura, and CT and Sam, I was sorry to hear Woody had passed away, but also thankful that he was able now to walk and talk and be healed. Doris you and the children were devoted to caring for him for so long and I'm sure have earned another star in your crown. Condolences to all of you. Love, Sandy

Dear Doris, Laura, C.T. & wife,
I send my condolences to you all. I
wish our church could be with you at this time but life has a way to
dealing with things. Morris was a good man, husband & father. I am sure God is pleased. May our Lord
Jesus Christ have Mercy on his Soul. The Beverlys, Bob & Jill, son, Rod & son, Father Michael, (Blake).

Doris, Laura Ann, C.T.
I have many fond memories of Woodie and your family, from your years in Trigg County and at Hurricane Baptist Church. I'm so sorry that we are so far away, I looked up the estimated travel time and 11 hours one way was just more than I thought we could do in such a short time. You are all in my prayers.
Love,
Ruth
