Remembering you and all the great times ⏲ we shared together on the fish 🐟 bank chasing those crappies. Rest in peace my brother 🙏 😔 💔 😢. You will truly be missed by many. Your special friend Deebo.

I can remember the last time ⏲ we were together on the fish 🐟 bank trying to catch those crappies. What a great time ⏲ we always had it sadden my heart to hear that you had passed away. You will always be missed 😢. May God wrap his loving arms around you and welcome you home 🏡. Rest in peace my brother. Condolences to the family 👪 of Cedric B.Woods.

This is a tough one... We go way back to middle school days! Funny how we couldn't stand each other when we first met but then ended up being closer than blood siblings. You were such a great Uncle to my son when he was little. When I left Gadsden, over the years we lost touch but if you were even on E. Broad when I was in town and rode by, I'd hear "SIS!" and I knew it was you. I'm sorry I didn't get to know your family but I do remember Fuzz. I love you, lil bro. And, I pray that your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Always your sister, LaSondra.

The Damascus Baptist Church extends it condolences to the Woods family. May God's offer of comfort strengthen now and in the days to come.

To Bernard's Mother Joyce & the Entire Woods Family
