                HONORING THE LIFE OF JOHN ``WOODY'' WOOD

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor John ``Woody'' Wood, 
and his loving wife, Candice, or Candy, two long-time and dear friends 
of mine.
  John, affectionately known as ``Woody'' to his friends and family, is 
a true inspiration to all. Woody has endured more than his share of 
challenges throughout his life. Woody boldly fought the status quo as a 
citizen and, later on, as an elected official in our community.
  As a community servant, his creed was no different. He fought for the 
truth in government and he never compromised his integrity, and his 
word was worth his weight in gold. Most importantly, he made a 
difference for all the people that he served in our community.
  Woody bravely battled liver cancer, which resulted in a liver 
transplant, and now, unfortunately, our dear friend Woody is fighting 
pancreatic cancer.
  Despite the hardships Woody has faced throughout his life, he has 
always remained courageous in the face of every foe, including cancer. 
Woody's integrity, compassion, and eternal sunny outlook on life have 
been an inspiration to all of us.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in praying for Woody and Candice and 
their entire family as they fight the next battle in Woody's life.
