    Bro Woody was a great man in my book. Now he is with his Lord and I know that. He said 2 words to me that will always stick ” Heaven Bound “. I cant go into detail but those 2 words should be said by everyone when asked…Where you going ? When someone is walking away from you…you may never see that person again and you could ask yourself..Where are they going ? There is a comfort in KNOWING that ( if saved )that person is “Heaven Bound ”

    I know we should rejoice…and part of me is…But today…my heart is sad…I will never forget him
