    Dear family: so sorry to hear of the passing of Woodrow, he and Carolyn were a very special part of my growing up while I lived in Washington State. I will never forget all the good times I had at their home. Yes, he did have a funny sense of humor and his sweet little easy going ways. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers for the up-coming weeks.

  • Doris & Bob Groves

    WoodrowandCarolyn (it was almost one word) were special cousins I enjoyed visiting whenever I was in Washington. It was always a good time as they brought me up to date on the family, showed me dozens of pictures, and we shared some funny stories and laughs. I’m praying for the family that you may truly know the peace that passes understanding at this sad time.
