We will miss Woody at our retire gatherings. He was a friend and I enjoyed visiting with him and sharing the memories of our times together at the sugar refinery.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family members of Mr. Ryals. It was an honor to be his dialysis provider. He was a man who seemed to take life in stride, making the best of every new adventure. We will keep him in our hearts, always.
