    Woody was my Grandfather and he was such a wonderful person to know we all loved his stories, and we all enjoyed the happy times laughing and having a good time. He was a very loved person and made a big impact in our lives. We all love him and hope that he is happy and at peace. Our thoughts are with Grandma in this time of great saddness.

    Ruby & Family,
    It seems as though it was yesterday we were serving together at the church in Pilot Grove–enjoying the fellowship and life among God’s precious people. I want you to know I have always counted Ruby and Woody as two of God’s most precious people. I hope Woody and my dad have already had their reunion in heaven. There are many fond memories of our days in Pilot Grove they can enjoy together. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Love,
    Sondra Philliber Allen

    I send my love and prayers to Ruby and the family. I always enjoyed my visits with Woody–he was “Master of the Dozer” and it was wonderful to hear his tales of the past. God grant his eternal peace.

    Dear Ruby and family,
    We were so sorry to learn of your loss. We remember Woody as a kind, friendly person at the Baptist Church in Pilot Grove. May you find comfort and peace in the knowledge that he was a fine Christian man and we’ll see him again in Heaven. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathy,
    Glenn and Marilyn Porter
