Sharon-we were so sad to hear of Woody's death. We are glad that we were able to meet him over the years. We are unable to come for the service, but you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Love, Carl&Kathy

Sharon:

Allow me to pass along the condolences of the members of Acappellago who cannot attend any of the services for Woody. We enjoyed having him in our midst, even though that time was limited. He brought a lot of enthusiasm to the music. About half of us will be singing at the services on Thursday night. Pat Smith
