    The sorrow that you feel is a sorrow that all of us share that have been fortunate enough to have Woody as a part of our family and lives. May it comfort you to know how very much we care. Our hearts and love are with each of you and your families….

  7. Life and death are a package. We know that. But we are always caught short when death arrives. We have had our entire life to prepare for this moment. But it never works. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know Mr. Woodward was a wonderful man. I heard about him for maybe thirty years from a wonderful man who knew him well. His son Neil is the embodiment of his father. What a privelege to have known them. My greatest sympathy to your family. My prayers are with you.
    Respectfully yours,
    Vern Langhofer
