Willie Clay Woodson was my father.
He was a man of many kindness he would take the tie to help anyone at his expense of time and equity.
I talked to him every day and as much as we could.
I enjoyed working with him , he was very talented and diligent in his work.
I miss him every day and I wish I had more time with him. I miss problem solving , cutting grass working on the property and buildings with him . Still every day is a struggle with out him.
I love him very much and there is a big place where he still lives in my heart.
I’m thankful for him teaching me how to be kind to others and the art of problem solving.
My heart is still heavy.
