Like so many others, I was fortunate to have had Woody Miller enter my life when I was a very young hospital Administrator with HCA. Woody was a true friend to me and my young family. Woody was my first real boss and he became my mentor, my business partner and my friend. For over 10 years we spent a great deal of time together in business and in play. We skied, sailed, rode horses and did perhaps more than a bit of enjoyable socializing along the way. We also built a successful business...

Without Woodys efforts on our behalf, we would have had no place to practice medicine, and no medical career. Because of what he did, many lives were touched, and careers were made. Sincerest condolences to his family, and much gratitude to Woody.

During times of loss we find ourselves troubled by things we cannot understand. There are no answers to comfort your grief, only lasting love and precious memories. I'll be thinking of you and your family during this sad time. I'm sorry I won't be there Saturday to give you a hug, but I'll be out of town.
