Yesterday
We grew up together and shared so many ups and downs over the years. I remember when you and your family moved across the street from my grandma - we instantly became like family. Even though we didn´t keep in touch as much as we should have, whenever we did talk or see each other, it always felt like no time had passed. I´m deeply saddened to hear of your passing. I´m praying for your boys, your mom, and the rest of the family.
Love,
Jasmin S. Woods-Quillian

Koaknee it was truly a blessing to have been honored with your presence during a season in my life . I continue to play Lady Harmony song "Better than Good to me" . I still have the text from the day you sent it to me out of the blue and said it reminded you of me. We hadn´t seen each other for months in person or talked but at that very moment when I actually was going through something. God sent you to remind me no matter the storm I was going through he was always right there beside me. You always spoke highly of your Mother and your sons were your world. I´m grateful to have worked with you and gotten to know you personally you will be missed by everyone that encountered your presence.

To Beverly and family. I´m extending sympathy with love on behalf of the entire Knight/Woods family. Remembering the years of shared love, fun visits, vacations, church outings, birthdays, and just family times. My heart aches for you and the boys and the other relatives that have gone thru so much in the last 2 years. Praying God provide the strength you will need to heal and press on in the coming days, months and years. I´m here if you need an ear or hiding place. Love ya! Cassandra "San" Woods
