To the family of Woodrow, may God bless and keep you daily.

Woody was my, brother-in-law, ex-coach and friend. I will miss betting juices on the games, sharing beans, homemade strawberry ice cream, cakes, laughing and talking. He was such a great person, I thank God for putting him in my life. He is gone, but never forgotten! Thanks for the memories, "What a way to go"!

Love Always,
Sister-in-law Pat
