See Condolences

To the Woolwine family~ My deepest condolences for the passing of “Bodie” (as we always called him). I have many fond memories of him growing up in the Colony and how he always used to drop by to say, “Hello.” You all will always hold a special place in my heart. You were like my second family, where I sometimes felt more loved than home. With boat loads of love~ Jo Anne Phelps Crouse PS I would have been there for the service but I was in Atlanta.😢

You will be missed by many. Condolences to your friends and family
