I am saddened to learn about Joe's death. I knew him from our working days at BCBSNC. I remember him for his jovial manner and his warm smile and greeting for everyone he met. The beautiful roses he grew and shared with us at BCBSNC are another fond remembrance of him. May you be comforted by God's love for you.

I was sad to hear today that Mr. Woodlief had passed. It seems that we want the people we love & who are important in our life to continue on forever & even knowing that the heavenly life is a sweeter one. Mr. Woodlief was my boss @ BCBS on my very 1st job. He was always so dear, such a good teacher, and made such an impression on me..I saw him last at his retirement. I will miss him.

Goldie, Mike and I are away. We are saddened to learn of your loss. Through the years we have enjoyed conversations with Joel, which eventually focused on his love for you and his fulfillment of life in general. You are in our prayers at this very difficult time. We will be in touch when we return home.      Brenda
