Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; 

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Gary and Barb Woodhull recently took the Post on a trip out east when they visited the many lighthouses on the coast of Maine. They traveled with their daughter, Ann Stock; son-in-law, Darryl Stock; and grandsons, Bryant and Brenden, from Carmel, Indiana. While there, they also toured Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s summer home in Roosevelt Campobello International Park, in New Brunswick, Canada.

Thanks, Gary and Barb, for taking us with you!

The Cedar Springs Post travelled to Pasadena, California earlier this month, with Gary and Barb Woodhull. They were “with a few close friends” in the stands along the Rose Bowl Parade route. Their grandson, Bryant Stock, marched in the Carmel, Indiana High School Marching band. The band was invited to march in the Rose Parade because they were the 2012 State of Indiana Champions and Band of America National Champions.

Gary and Barb were able to tour two of the locations to watch the floats being decorated. And no, they did not have tickets to the Rose Bowl game!

Thanks so much for taking us with you to Pasadena!

In loving memory of
Lila M. Woodhull
Who passed away 10 years ago July 2, 2001

God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy
Undying love.
