Sheila and families,
I am so sorry for your loss! Chris was a wonderful Dr. and friend. He would
actually, listen to you and know how to RELIEVE my pain!  He was also very interesting to listen to about your travels. Ever since your retirement, you are both missed.

I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Woodrow's passing. He helped me with the pain from a car accident but was also a shoulder when my dearest friend passed away. He was truly a compassionate and caring man. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
