We the Family of Mattie Durden Woody wish to thank you for your many calls, cards, flowers, telegrams and most of
all, your prayers. ~ When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in fum wif! comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting
for you in the sky!
May God Bless you in a special way! The Family Of Mattie Woody.
