Dear Woodyard family, may the peace of the Lord be with you all in the midst of this loss. Our family has many fond memories of visits to "Grandma Lucilles". Looking forward to the great reunion in heaven with her, Bill and all the other family members.

You will always remember what it felt like to be loved by your Mom and that is a memory worth treasuring. Someone said that to me when I lost my Mom and it has stuck with me, since. Prayers to you and your family.
