I was very sorry to learn of death of Mrs. Wood. She was a dear friend of my mother, Winifred Dennis and I think she taught all 5 of us in Sunday School. May God comfort and guide your family.

Everyone who knew and knew of Mrs. Dorothy loved her. She faithfully remembered my LC. and sent him many cheerful cards while he was dealing with lung cancer. A precious, sweet lady that radiated with the love of JESUS. Love and prayers for the family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that your mother is now worshipping at the feet of Jesus. My mother, Libby Eggleston, loved your mom and I am sure that she welcomed her into heaven.
