"The Best"
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so He put his arms around you,
and whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and we saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly
we could not ask you to stay.
A "Golden Heart" stopped beating
working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove us,
that He only takes the Best.
Dear Woods Family,
Today, all day, I have thought of Linda. Every room in my house has something Linda has given to me over the years. I have photos of Daniel with Cody & Trav as they grew up over the years.
Bobby, I have a photo of you & Daniel on your tractor. I don't know if you remember this but Linda weaned Daniel off the bottle when he was a baby. That was one of the times Daniel stayed with you guys while Mike & I went on a camping trip.
I kept the cards she sent me...she never forgot birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and friendship cards to say she was thinking about & praying for me & family. I have at least 25 Christmas ornaments with the date. She gave me one every year.
I miss her. Many times a thought or event happens and I want to call her and share it. It's a reflex for a split second, then I remember. It's hard to not having my friend praying for me anymore.
I believe she will be in front of the line to greet me in Heaven. I continue to pray for all of you. The Woods family really touched my life. How blessed I am to have had such a friend, I love you all, Pam
We are so sorry the loss over the holidays which we heard about from our cousin in California. Such a tragedy, we will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

God will provide all the peace and comfort that you all will need as your hearts begin to heal from your loss. You have years upon years of wonderful memories to look back upon while you heal.

Your loss is God's gain! May Miss Linda fly with the Angels and rest in the arms of Jesus. Prayers of peace and comfort to you.
It's hard to say good-bye to someone that you love, although you know they're safe with Jesus up above.
It doesn't make a difference if they're in their later years. It only means more memories to carry through the tears.
Don't let your selves forget, we each have numbered days. For reasons that we do not know God wanted it this way.
Tears wash away the pain, but it can't remove the love. The memories live forever safe in God's hands above.
So today we give thanks for the lives we chance to share. No matter if they're short or long, God always will be there.
Lance, Kerrie and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts & prayers. May God give you comfort during this difficult time.
