To all the Woods,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ponny. She was, as you all know, a wonderful person who instantly made you feel comfortable and at home in her presence. I had enjoyed many conversations with her over the years and always felt at home when Mike would bring me to their house in Reading, after a night in Boston or at College, to spend some time. I know there are no words that can ease the pain of her loss. However, I also know that her memories will live in all of you and in all those whom she touched. May God, in His mercy, be a comfort to you in this time of deep sorrow.
Sincerely,
Henry DeMello

I know I am not alone to say how fortunate I was to have a friend like Ponny. Some of my life's best memories included being with her.
We had a very special group of friends that really loved to have fun. We were always up to something whether it be all the silly but great birthday parties we all threw for each other, or all our camping adventures , we had girls weekends or sometines just would just hang out to talk at one of our houses. Those special times will never be forgotten and either will you my friend.
We will make a donation in your memory to Camp Sunshine
Love Donna & Larry

She was a simply wonderful person we enjoyed meeting and befriending her through Metro Fire Chief. Loved those Maine trips.
We were always impressed by Pinny’’s devotion to the care of your grandson with special needs. Know that we will make a donation there.
