Linda - You and your family are in my prayers. There is no quick healing - but know that you are thought of often. You have been so great with our loss of Christopher and words can not express what I feel for you - but know you are loved. God Bless

Words will never be able to express how much I love my grandpa nor do to justice to how dearly I will miss him. Thanks to all of those who came out today to pay respects and offer sympathy; everything was greatly appreciated and nothing went unnoticed no matter how small-Thanks again.

Dear Linda & family,
I am stunned to hear about the passing of "Woody". He will be deeply missed by every person that knew him. Whenever I hear the name - George Jones - I always think of Woody (back in the day) with his cowboy hat & boots, drinking his beer!! My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. Take care.

Peace be with all! I have very fond memories of visiting my cousin's Woody and Linda, and best of all the memory of Woody always giving me that smile and a big hug for the "Blonde Bomber".

Dear Linda and kids: Woody is a awesome man. He was always the bell of the ball. I always loved when we would be visiting Mike and Renate, and he would cruise over in one of his cool cars, his cowboy boots and whatever hat he might have had on that day. He always called me "legs". We are so glad we took the time this winter to stop by the house and visit with Woody. He had us laughing as usual. He will truly be missed by many. Take comfort in knowing that he is living a better life now and with other loved ones who have left this earth. May God Bless All of You in this time of sorrow but remember your friends and family will be there for you to comfort and cheer you. We love you guys.
