Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Woody's passing today, and I am deeply saddened. Woody was a technician who serviced our office for several years. After a few visits to our office, we discovered that we went to elementary school together, grew up just a stone's throw from each other, and knew many of the same people. We always laughed and talked about the Outer Banks, which is where we both vacationed with our families. Woody was without a doubt, one of the kindest and funniest people I ever met, and his...

Tammie, Ryan, Aaron, Jennifer and all others in the family. We are so shocked and very saddened by the loss of a wonderful father, husband, son, uncle, brother and friend that was Woody. He was forever smiling, always could make you laugh (or at least smile), and he loved you guys so much. Tammie, I just found out through my sister-in-law, who is taking her baby to VHBC day school this year and I was floored. I know we haven't been in touch for the last couple of years since our boys were not...

Tammie, Aaron & Ryan,
We just heard about Woody and wanted to let you know how sorry we are to hear that he had lost his battle with cancer. We will always remember all the fun times we had together in Cub Scouts. You all are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad and difficult time for your family. Woody will be greatly missed.

To all of us at the Container Store in Arlington, we welcomed (well, almost) our technology failures, since that would mean a visit from Woody.
A wonderful man in every way--and it seemed that every conversation turned back to his beloved family. We will miss him terribly, but we hope to take as an example his deep appreciation of the truly important things in life. Our thoughts are with you all.

I am sorry to learn of Woody's passing. I didn't know him very well; I was a customer of his company. Woody was always friendly, respectful and knew his job extremely well. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Bill,

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I know fully how heartbreaking it is to suffer the loss of a child. You are in my thoughts today.

I will miss that 'teddy bear' of a guy; it was wonderful to have known Woody and welcomed his kind, gentle nature.

I've known Woody all my life, our families in our neighborhood and church were close and to know he is no longer with us cuts deep...it is so hard to believe. I have to say that in every memory I have of Woody, he is smiling, and that is how I will always continue to remember him. My heart and my prayers are with all of his family.
