Our prayers to each of you. We will miss him very much. We got to know him at the C.H.F. Clinic at Biloxi R. H. Our Mother went there and we all called him Pop's, in fact our Mother started calling him Pop and we just picked up on it also. We enjoyed talking with him. I met Mrs. Martha at Gulf Coast Hospital when I worked there. Our prayer's are with you, alway's remember you are never alone He walks beside you.
Love and prayer's
Mary Woods Franciscus, Jeff Woods, Joe Marie Woods Hudson, Alice Woods Hudson and families.

My condolences to the Grantham family. My memories of Mr. Grantham are all tied to the Pines Club from 1973 - 1976. During my 2 years at Perk and then living in Wiggins the pines was the place for the young to hang out. Robert and Martha were always wonderful people to those of us who were respectful to them. The hours I spent sitting at the bar drinking a cold bottle of Barq's and talking with them will never be forgotten. They are very special folks.
