Our lives are played out like a story, there is a beginning, middle, and end.

When we are born God has choosen our destiny and he chose to bring Greg and the girls to be a part of our lives. We can say why, but God only knows the why. He says "I will never leave you nor forsake you" Joshua 1:5

Take heart family.

We will always cherish the memories of this past summer in Florida with Greg.

When you lose someone so close, its hard to bear the sorrow, and it takes strength and courage just to try to face tomorrow...I pray that you find encouragement and comfort in knowing that so many are thinking of the entire Woodfork Family. Greg has always been there for us, especially for my brother Markeal "Wink"..I still clearly remember talking with Greg on 9/27/07 the day my Mother was laid to rest and how much support he was. He was a good man and a hard worker, he will be missed!
