Dear Editor:
My first cousin David Woods is a loving and giving person. He is a hard working person and he has a big heart; he’s always doing things to help. When I was a Head Start teacher, I had boys in my classroom who needed haircuts. With the parents’ approval, David, who is a barber, came every two weeks to cut their hair. Without pay, he did it with joy.
On Mother’s Day, David and his wife Cindy cooked and prepared dinner for all of the mothers on his parents’ and Cindy’s side of the family. It was a great celebration. David gave every mother a rose.
David is very generous, even with the current economic state. On Jan. 8, he and Cindy took his mother, his aunt, two first cousins and his daughter on a three-day cruise with all expenses paid. It was the first cruise for many and David and Cindy made sure that no one was left out. They treated everyone like royalty.
I just wanted David and Cindy to know I am so grateful that they have given us something that money could not buy: memories that are priceless. David, I know you hear the cry of many. I know that God will give back to you as He sees the need. My prayer is that God blesses you and Cindy.
From all of us – Anna Dell Bryant, Dorothy Beaufort, Catherine Gerald, Deborah Moor and Jonnie Ruth Jenkins – we love you, David and Cindy!
