Roy Alvin Wood M.D.

I only knew Sgt. Wood briefly, I was with him in northern Afghanistan where we built a clinic. He worked so many hours in that clinic... he always came back after dark. He was so much fun to be with, and I learned a lot from him. I was most impressed with his commitment...he gave up so much to deploy and serve on a team again. I tell his story all the time because it's so inspiring. He wanted to serve in the way he felt he could best contribute. I know it's small comfort...but I share Roy's...

Roy,
Thanks for your help at Chapman. I never thought that when you left for Bagram that would be the last time I would see you.So much was left unsaid. Rest in peace Bro.

DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak of me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes that we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always...

Thank you so much Jennifer for remembering my brother and please express our deepest thanks to your husband. Roy's sister, Jean

To the family and friends of Sgt. Roy A. Wood:
It has truly been my honor to sign Roy's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Roy will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy
