Arlington Cove Healthcare will not be the same without our Mrs. Woods! I loved my office being right next door to her home. Her singing and humming will be missed. She was a delight to staff and other residents. I am truly blessed that God placed Mrs. Woods and her family in my life. To see the bond of the family gives hope to staff during their daily working hours. God Bless each person of the Woods family.

Tim, Karen, Brenda, and all the rest of the family. We were so saddened to hear of your mothers passing and just a dear person loved by many. She was a lot of company for my mother-in-law Juanita Grimes. They were friends for many years. I know that the family and all her friends will miss her greatly. We pray that God will give y'all peace and comfort during this trying time. Tim, we want you to especially know that you are in our hearts. We are sorry we will not be able to be with y'all as Ronnie is not doing well but you all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Ronnie and Shelia Grimes.

I'm so sorry to hear of Eva’s. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

She was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed. I loved having her a few doors down from me and being able to hear her sing first thing every morning as she was getting ready for breakfast. Then she’d return to her room and fill the hall with her singing or humming again as she was “going back home” I already miss that. She loved you all and would tell many stories in great detail and have us all in stitches. It was an honor to be part of her care team in the final days she was her with y’all on earth, praying for comfort and peace for the whole family from Arlington Cove Healthcare.

Danny, Shelia and family,
Words can’t adequately express the sorrow of losing a mother so we won’t even try. Just know we are thinking of you.
God bless you all.
