To the Woods family, I'm sorry to hear about your lost. Portia was a fun person to be around, I'm glad I had the pleasure to meet her. Whenever Tracey and Portia came around the family house she would say these words, "For show". She would truly be missed. Thomas, always remember your mother had loved you and thought highly of you.
