I also wanna give a big shoutout to Sara Lynn, Becca, and Tim for being by Ms. Woodys side through all of this and being the family I hope others get a chance to have. Woody made a very big but great impact on my life. Thank you for the opportunity of getting to have Woody while I got her. ❤️ Praying for all of you guys in the days to come.
I didn’t get to have Woody long but in the last 7 months she has been the most kindest woman I have the opportunity of meeting. ❤️ She truly was an angel sent to the earth. I love you Miss Woody and you will truly be missed.
