Sharing in your sorrow, praying that you find comfort within your loving memories.  I will forever hold fond childhood memories of both Uncle Cleve and Aunt Ruth.  He truly lived a blessed 100 years of life.

So sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Cleveland. I will always cherish the memories of his life and love for his family.  He will be missed by so many.  Brenda my prayers are with you and Mike.

Brenda, we were so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  He was such a big part of your life and we know you will miss him.  Our sympathy to you and Michael.

With deepest sympathy to the family of Cleveland Woodell.  I enjoyed visiting with him to hear about his life over the past century.  I am very thankful that we were able to celebrate his 100th birthday in March.

May you rest in peace,Cleve. A long, hard life really made you tough and
I appreciated your honesty and directness, which is so difficult to find these
days. You will be missed,

                  your caring neighbor,
                                         Bryant Moore

So sad to learn of Uncle Cleveland's death.  He was a jolly good felow--always willing to come to North Carolina to be a part of the good and sad celebrations of life.  We will miss him.

We are so very sorry to hear  that Uncle Cleveland has passed away.  He was truly a very special uncle.  I've always enjoyed my childhood memories of his visits to our home.  It was such an event when he and Uncle Rudolph made their annual visit to see my mother.  Mama would serve some wonderful meals on her best china when they came.  Daddy, Uncle Rudolph and Uncle Cleveland would talk politics, religion and business.  They had a grand time together.

In recent years, Uncle Cleveland made a gracious effort to attend all the birthday parties held for his sister and my mother, Bonnie.  We were very grateful for the financial support he gave toward her 94th birthday.  When Mama died at 96, Uncle Cleveland was the last living sibling.  On March 17, 2012 my sisters and brother hosted a 100th birthday celebration for Uncle Cleveland.  I will always cherish the memories of that day.  We love you, Uncle Cleveland, and we are sad that your passing closes another chapter in the lineage of the Woodell family.

 Love, Catherine & Norman Seagroves
