Condolences to the Woods family. From the Davis family.

Herman was the best brother in law you could ever hope to have. Everyone in our family thought the world of him all the time- even my late mother Margaret & dad Rev. Thomas Croft. I've never heard anyone in our family in over 40 years say one single thing bad thing at all about him. He treated his wife & kids like royalty. I keep going over his text. They were so encouraging. He stated he's going to keep pressing on in spite of the circumstances. He also stated he is encouraged because God will never leave him. I will miss him dearly but I know he is with God. Sister in law,
Nikki
