Dear Graby family,
We were so sorry to hear about your recent loss of Woody.  I worked with Woody at Quaker Alloy.  He was always upbeat and positive.  He will be missed.  We will be praying for all of you in your time of sorrow.  God bless all of you.

So very sorry to hear of Woody’s passing.  We have so many memories of this very funny man!  From times at the AC pool to times seeing him at Ebersole where he worked, we surely enjoyed his humor.  Please find comfort in knowing that he is whole again, free, walking, and enjoying his new home in Heaven.  He is with Todd again … and he is at peace!  May God comfort you as you grieve.  ~ Vesta (Smith) Clark and Kyja (Smith) Truax
