    We would like to sincerely thank our Woodmont

    family for their prayers, cards, and kind

    words throughout this difficult time in our fam-

    ily. My father was a very special man, and we are

    truly blessed to have many fantastic memories of

    times spent together. He left a wonderful legacy

    of caring in the things that he did, and the peoplehe touched and he will be sorely missed. It is

    never easy to say good-bye to someone, but the

    path was made easier by your kind words. My

    family and I would like to thank you.
