So sorry for the loss of your mom, she will be missed.
Cleo and “Woody” we’re our neighbors on Arizona St for years.
I remember so many good times with them. Prayers for all the family.
Remembering Ms. Woody’s application process and how determine she was to complete all necessary steps and move to her new home at DHAL. She made lotsa of friends at her new home at DHAL that it seemed like she had always been here. It was a process but her and her girl got it done.
She was wonderful to know and is very much missed by all here at DHAL.
She always came to give me any info or confirm I had all facts if she knew about anything going on at DHAL. I will miss much.
GOD has her now, and will continue to keep blessing her family. Stay close to GOD, our Father, each one of you.
Sincerely,
Columbus.
