2 Corinthians 1:3,4 gives us the assurance that "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies" is the "God of all comfort" and he "comforts us in all our trials". Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; 1 Peter 5:7) jw.org

Mrs. Barbara and Sons,
I think that anyone who knew Dec. Wood would agree that he was one of a rare breed. Kind, outgoing , serious about The Lord and would share about Him to any person. He will be truly missed.
Love you , God Bless and continue to keep you during this time and always.

My prayers are with the Wood family in their times of lost. I really appreciate their support of Bible Trivia on WXKL-1290 for 15 years. May God give the Family the strength to get through this trying time. I always thought Deacon Wood favor The late Joe Legion of the Mighty Clouds of Joy and would tell him that when I went to the Hat Shop and that would put a big smile on his face. God bless you Ms.Barbara and thanks to you and Deacon Major. Love you

Dear Wood Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Times like this can be very difficult to deal with. At times, you may feel like there is no one to turn to. You may even feel like no one understands your pain. But there is one person we can turn to that can help us through all of our trials. Yes, God can help you during this difficult time. Pray to him constantly and he will help you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4 Isa. 26:19)
