Sandra and family,
When I first met John I knew right away that he was a good man. A man who was respectful, polite and extremely hospitable. A man who I knew loved you with all his heart Sandra. Both of you have been so good to our family and for that we are extremely grateful. My thoughts go out to you and your family in this difficult time. Someone once said that if you are remembered than you never really die. I will always remember John.

Susan and I very sorry for your tragic loss. You all and Susan and I go back a long way, and John's untimely death leaves quite a void in your family and also in the larger community here as well. I hope you will be comforted by the love and respect he garnered over the years from those of us who knew and worked with him. He was a very delightful guy and his joyful demeanor and many talents will be sorely missed. Please forgive us for not being able to attend the funeral tomorrow. I'm sure it will be greatly attended. We have a prior obligation out of town and will have to express our condolences in person at a date in the near future.

Sandy y la familia Wood,
Solo Dios sabes el destino de todo nosotros, espero que encuentren paz en su fe, y el misterio de la vida. John fue un hombre honorable, y en verlo(s) en la fiesta Latina en augusto, confirme que era un hombre lleno de vida y amado por sus seres queridos. Only God knows our destiny, I hope that you find peace in your faith, and the mystery of life. John was an honorable man, and seeing both of you at the Latin Fest in August confirmed that he was a man who was full of love and cherished by his family.

Dear Sandy,
I just learned of John's passing. I have no words to express my sadness. John's friendship meant a great deal to me during our years together at Harry Hunt and Wilson. It was wonderful to renew that affection when you (and later John) worked with me during those crazy times at Pizza Hut. My prayers are with you and the family. May God wrap you in His loving care and may His peace which transcends all understanding comfort and keep you as you grieve John's passing. Please know that I grieve with you.
PS - Wayne sends his condolences.

Our condolences to Sandy and the Wood family. Sandy you and John were like family to me and mine. John was always so calm about everything and as you guys touched our lives in such a positive way, one being helping us every step of the way in acquiring our home. During that period I witnessed the personal touch from you and John towards many others trying to reach the same goal as me, home ownership.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. He will be sorely missed.

There are no words that can express the loss and pain you are feeling, just know God needed him more. John Wood was one of the nicest, caring, loving, person I had ever met. He was like a father to me, he taught me not only about Real Estate but about life. I admired and respected him immensley. He will truly be missed!
God Bless the Wood Family!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
