It was truly a blessing knowing Mr. Woodyard and living up the street and then right across the yard from the garage. I remember my days as a young girl at the old garage running around behind Mr. Woodyard. When the garage changed ownership, Gina and I would always get off of the school bus together and we would often talk and then go our separate ways.

Regina and the Woodyard family know that Mr. Woodward "Fought a good Fight, and he finished his course, He kept the faith. He is holding God's unchanging hands....Hold on to the memories.
