I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying the God of all comfort helps you at this difficult time. (Psalms 83:18 & 2 Corinthians 1:3,4). Jesus told us to pray for God’s Kingdom because the Bible promises it will do away with death. (Revelation 21:4,5 & Daniel 2:44).
Our condolences to the family. Bill was a great man and will be missed by everyone. Heaven gained an Angel. Fly High Angel. We all love you and will see you again one day.

I am so sorry for the loss you are all experiencing. I am thankful for the big heart Mr. Wood had and it shows in the family he created, which you can see in the faces in the video. Thank God his heart lives on in the hearts he left behind.
Diana and family,
My heart grieves with you. Your dad loved you very much and was so proud of your accomplishments. Bill was a humble fellow and he loved Jesus. We all will miss him, but we rejoice in the fact that he served our Lord and Savior, in order to gain eternal peace and joy. May God comfort you and your family through this time of sorrow.
