Jean, Susan and Andy....I am so saddened to hear the news of Woody's death. Although my memory is not always good, I have vivid childhood memories of being with your family, thinking what a beautiful couple you were and how very nice you were to all of us Waltons. My condolences and prayers go out to you and your families.

Jean--Our heart goes out to all of you, Andy and Susan. I just always thought the world of all of you, and Woody was a real role-model for me growing up.

My heart goes out to all of you at this very sad time. Woody became a lifeline of sorts, after the death of my daughter and I shall never forget him for the kind words of encouragement and caring. I will miss his frequent emails, along with the photographs of his grandchildren and the "art" photography in which he took great pride.
My prayers are with you. May you find peace and hope during this time.
