Mrs. Ollie Wood/Woods Obituary |

Crockett County Sentinel May 25, 1923 ---IN MEMORY OF--- "In the midst of life we are in death." "Life's loveliest sky hides the thunder, whose bolt in a moment may fall. "How forcibly were these truths brought to our hearts when the Angel of Death visited the home of J. R. WOOD and took the sweet spirit of his wife, Ollie, our daughter, sister, and mother. She was the mother of five children; Lois, Louise, Robert, Annie Brasfield, and Nannie Sue. She began this life on November 14th, 1896, and departed February 1st, 1923. She was a bright and sunny nature, an inspiration in the homes of the sick; to the despondent a benediction. We miss her because we loved her; this will be the sentiment of those who loved her best. Her place must remain unfilled. Yes, we will cherish her bright and happy life. We know as a daughter, wife, sister, mother, she filled the hearts that must be vacant. Empty, but not dark and dreary, for where her presence dwelt, there must be sunshine. At such times, comfort can only come from God alone, we therefore pray that He may send His angels of mercy and love on swift wings to bind the broken bleeding hearts of her loved ones. Our golden is broken -- Three links are missing here;--But, oh, we'll find them in Heaven, --And weld them together there. Mother, Husband, Children, Brothers, & Sisters.
