My family and I send our heartfelt condolences to the family of Eugene Wood. Thanks be to God that we know he is resting in the loving arms of God his creator.

I knew Mr. Wood from my husband who held him in the highest regard and from our special friendship with his son, Don. What a wonderful, loving family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Wood and her children and grandchildren at this time.
