Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
This is almost too late to send, as much time as passed. Maybe not to late, we don’t know when God will stir a memory in our heart. I need to express my sorrow when I heard a few years back that Woody has passed. What a wonderful blessing and gift he was to his family. Al spoke so kindly about Woody and the family. But who knows? They could be talking about K-state right now. God Bless.
Sherry & Family I would like to extend my deepest sympathy at your time of loss. You are all in my prayers. Janis (Sam) Mertes
