To the family of Mr. Goodwin, I am so sorry for the untimely passing of a wonderful man. May God be with the family during this time of bereavement.

Our prayers are with your family at this time of loss.

Mr. Goodwin no doubt impacted many during his years of teaching and leadership. And it is apparent that he was a man of special might as he lived well into his nineties. Sympathies are extended to the family and may you hold dear the fond memories of your loved one.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Offering my deepest condolences to all, may God grant you strength and courage as you face the coming days.
