Dear Kathy and family:
I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and to your family for the sudden loss of such a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.  There are no words I could possibly say to comfort you at this time. I feel honored to have known such a kind, beautiful soul, who, I know, will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have shared in his life. My prayers are for you and your entire family.
Heaven has gained a new angel.
Margaret LaVolpicella

Ms. Margaret, Stephanie, Marybeth and Robert:
There are no words to express the sadness felt by the loss of Greg.  I have known him since grammar school. He was a kind gentle soul, who was a highlight of friendship and  many laughs and good times to remember.  My sincere condolences to your entire family for the loss of such a wonderful person. With sympathy, Margaret LaVolpicella

Eternal rest, grant unto him/her O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest in peace, Amen.

 May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
 through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
 Amen.

Gone from this world, but not forgotten. God bless your family

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,  
So He put His Arms around you and whispered "Come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, 
And though we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, a precious soul at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. 

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness,  a longing for one more day,  one more word,  one more touch.  We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived.  And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"

How very softly you tiptoed into our world,
Almost silently, only a moment you stayed.
But what an imprint your footsteps have left upon our hearts

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed, so very dear."


Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal." 


"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." John 11:25,26.

The Lord presents many challenges during our stay on this earth, none of which is more difficult than losing a husband, father & grandfather. We pray for your family during this difficult & testing period. 

Kim and Mike Giglio, Gretna La.


Dear Kathy,
So sorry for your loss.  Greg was such a nice, friendly, fun loving gentleman. 
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,  Visann 

We will miss sweet Poppi so very much.  He shared his light and joy with everyone around him- what a force he was!   A wonderful husband, father and grandfather.  Our lives are better for having known him and we will never forget him.  Much love to Mrs. Kathy, Ashley, Stephen and their families.  

Always the perfect gentleman. He will be missed by us all. Thinking of you Kathy and your family.

"Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear."    I am so grateful for my time with Greg last year, we reminisced about our time together, when the cousins spent summer days at  Grandma McCarthy's in Waveland. Good times at the beach, he was full of fun and was as easygoing then as he was when we reconnected last year. I remember waving so long and see you when you finally take that road trip to Lake Tahoe. Stephen and Ashley we didn't meet you but your dad spoke lovingly about you and your kids, Kathy and dear Aunt Margaret we are so very sorry for your loss!

Dear Kathy and family
 My prayers and thoughts are with you. Greg was Good Man,  and a Man of Character. He will be dearly missed.


Greg was such a big, sweet man who seemed to have a smile eternally on his face. I already missed seeing him when you all moved, but now I'll never see him smile again. I am so sorry, Kathy, for your loss. He was a terrific fellow.

We are fondly remembering all of the good times and fun we had with Greg. Because of his kind and generous nature, Greg was loved by all who knew him.
Our hearts go out to his beloved family. Heaven has welcomed a truly great guy. May he rest in peace.

Michael and our family send love and prayers to the whole Wood extended family which we are proud and privileged to be a part of.  Greg embraced us from the minute we met him much like the entire family did.  I see him in my mind as this big, loving, fun, happy, warm and generous guy always laughing or smiling,  We are so very sad for your loss and hope the incredible love of your family will sustain you.  Love to you all...Michael and Kathy Turbott

       May the wind be ever at your back,  May the road rise clear before you, And may God forever hold you In the hollow of His HAND...... Rest in peace my friend. Paul E. Tchiblakian, II New Orleans, LA

Brennan, Ashley, and the Wood Family - We are so sorry for your loss.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  Chris & Aimee (and John Gid & Nola)

Ms Kathy,

Michael, the boys and I were so sad to hear about this. We loved living across the street from you both and were hoping for you guys to come to Florida for a visit. You are always welcome and have a place to stay. We will be praying for you and your kids and grandkids. Love and miss you.

Kathy I am so sorry! Prayers for you and your family!

Uncle Greg was a really good guy... He loved fully and was so loyal to those he loved. He was a true role model of what a good parent and partner is. He will be missed.

I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Greg's passing. He was a good man and I'll keep the Wood family in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Greg. Kathy and your family will be in my prayers.      Judy & Elliott James
