Woodrow’s father, Hobert was my mother’s brother and she loved him dearly and his kids. When my Mom talked about her dear brother she would still cry, even years later. Inoz made sure her boys didn’t forget their Dad and would visit us as often as she could manage. I am 75 so Woodrow was 13 years older than me. So my memories of Woodrow were that he was always picking on me, but in a comical way. Also just looking at his face, he always appeared to be up to some future mischievous plan. I will miss my 1st cousin and though rarely got to visit, but thought of him often.He is the last son of Hobert’s and ends that legacy, which saddens me. May he rest in peace with his dear Lord and be able to be with his departed family. Love ❤️ to Woodrow’ family.
