  7. My dear cousin Donnie will be sorely missed by his Wood family. Donnie always made it clear that he loved us all and that sentiment was returned to him twofold. Without his smiling face, wonderful soft accent, and hugs of greeting, our reunions will never be the same. We all looked forward each year to his amusing tales and enthusiasm for life. His remaining ten cousins send love to his beloved Virginia. Aunt Gladys was blessed with four wonderful boys who became wonderful men.
