We are feeling both sadness and relief after a wonderful funeral service today for Woody. The family really pulled together and made these past several days quite special. The Army, particularly Chaplain Smith and the Honor Guard, and Carter Funeral Home performed wonderfully and we would also like to thank the Newport News Police Department for their assistance in getting us through the city without a glitch.
