December 29, 2022 at 4:10 pmMy deepest Condolences to STAN, Rod, Sheila. And Tony and families. Losing a parent leaves a hole in your heart that never heals, but you learn to accept it one day at a time. I know all too well losing Dad over 40 yrs ago and losing mom suddenly two years ago
Cheerish every memory you have of your mom and wife. May God bless you all and may he help you each second of every day to get through it and know your mom and wife is in a better place it’s not good bye it’s until you meet again.

December 29, 2022 at 4:18 pmI’m sad to read of Woodrow’s passing. My memories of her are happy and grateful. We House Cove kids always played together and had the best fun. We paddled in the cold cove water and learned to skate on the pond in front of her house. We used to play school in her mother’s back porch, sometimes with flat beach rocks and chalk ends that we probably picked up at school. We memorized a lot of basic reading and math facts!
A Happy childhood. Deepest sympathy to Woodrow’s family.

December 30, 2022 at 12:05 pmMarcie and George, who are members of our Church Family in St. Jones Within, have been keeping us up to date on Woodrow’s health. We are so sorry for your loss. Although, we knew Woodrow’s health was declining, nothing can really prepare your heart for this kind of goodbye. God’s promise, in Jesus, is life everlasting. May the peace of that promise, hold you (and Woodrow), not just for today…forever. Know that God is here to hold you and our praying hands (and hearts) are, too.
