We moved here in 1999 from Maryland. Our 2 year old had been injured at birth from an injury that disabled him. Relocating was very scary due to this, and having a 1 year old that has severe asthma. He was such an incredible Dr. The last time I took Tyler to see him, Mark had a red model sports car on his desk, on the way to the examining room Tyler saw it and ran for it. As I encouraged him to look but not touch, I glanced at Dr. Woodward and he was looking at him with such a look of sadness, hope and something else...He said no, let him, he said " Tyler, do you like that, and Tyler shook his head yes, and Dr. Woodward said, "he can keep it". I was so AMAZED and moved by his expression both of kindness and of something else....That was our last time seeing him. The visit and the expression on his face and the look in his eyes, always has stayed with me. May God be with him and his loved ones always. xoxoxo

I was shocked to hear of Dr. Woodward's passing. He was our doctor for over 10 years. He will be truly missed by our household. He was just so very kind and professional. It will be so very difficult to find another Dr. that we can feel as comfortable and as "at ease" with. God bless all of his family and close friends. May he rest in peace.

May God offer Comfort and peace during this time. Dr. Woodward was a good doctor. My family were patients of his for a long time. We hope that all the notes of sympathy allow to realize what a fine man your son, father, brother and uncle was. May God keep you in his perfect peace.

Your father was a wonderful man. He touched so many lives in the past 5 years that I knew him.

If you ever need anything all you need to do is call me.

Dearest Mark:



Larry and I will miss you so very much. You were always such a generous and loving friend to us both. I'm so thrilled that over the years we had spent so many good times together. Knowing what a true Sooner fan I am, you so generously sent me to the Orange Bowl with Donna and Alex to see my beloved Sooners win their 2000 National Championship. You always invited Larry for a round of golf and no one was happier for us when we moved into our new home. I'm going to miss you so very much, but I know that you are at peace now. We had lots of talks about Jesus and I feel so confident that He is holding you in His arms. I will see you again my friend! I love you forever. Larry will miss his true friend beyond measure.
