Message from Shimer - I added in the picture of "The block" we tagged for Woodle. I realize you can not read it, but it was a great bonding moment for the group.Lisa writes:
Woodle's memorial was a great tribute to the guy he was & how we will always remember him. Tears and laughs all at the same time. We know those of you that were not able to make it, were thinking of him and his family. The video tribute brought back people faces & memories some of us had not thought of. We all got safely to Frontier camp for more visitng, food & story telling. Woodle must of been watching over us & laughing since we were in nice clothes - he didn't want any of us to have to change a tire. We also took a bunch of pictures & signed a block on the wall in the Frontier Corral that had NOT been written on. We had a little camp fire before everyone had to leave. I wanted everyone to have something to remind of us Woodle & the memories we have that we can hang on to. I gave everyone a horseshoe. We all remember him and Dancer, wearing a cowboy hat & not wearing a shirt.This was something I thought of since we couldn't have the others. Anyway, after I got home, I realized there was more to this horseshoe. When you put 2 of them side-by-side - it makes a "W" for Woodle & turn one sideways & it makes a "C" for Camp. Thank you BA for the Woodle Alphabet. Also a few were linked together - kind of like the barrel of monkies we had when we were kids. The opening in the horseshoe is a sign of Woodle that he's wrapping he's big arms around us & picking us up. Dave Vincent talked about that at the service. For those of you that left early or unable to come. I ask that you get a horseshoe in memory of Woodle. If you can't find one(because you don't have a Tractor Supply in Dallas!) let me know, I'll send you one. Those of you that got one, send someone else one that you know will want one & that may not get this email. Something so simple, now with so much meaning . Woodle could make the simplest things mean so much. When any of ya'll pick it up & or look at it, remind yourself - there is another one linked on each side of you or if we all hold them up next to each other - we've made a bunch ofW's. I brought one to work this morning - It makes a good paperweight & I can see it everyday!!
Jenny, I hope you get this. It was nice to meet you.
Harris Glass if you get this I need your address.
Allison can you post the watermelon quote
Love ya'll
Lisa
