The Wood Family,
I am so very, very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. As your Mother and Father sat in church each Sunday I would look over at them with the caring, love, and steadfast committment they showed while surrounded by their family. What love they shared for their family and most of all their Lord, our savior. Margaret and Ken always had a special place in my heart because when I was in the hospital with my cancer surgery they were my visitors who gave me strength and courage to believe that our Savior would heal me. I praise God for them and I am by far a better person for knowing them. Margaret I will miss you and your little crooked smile so much. Thank you for providing me with a constant reminder of what a Christian Woman is....
