Continued from page 1A
Wood and Gober shared an interest in spending
time with children and helping them in physical as
well as mental aspects.
In her time as an Aggie, Wood and her best
friends brought Destination Imagination, an
organization similar to Odyssey of the Mind to
Texas A&M.
“Aside from teaching, she wanted to be a D.I.
coordinator for a school where she could be the per
son who organizes the teams and gets them to the
tournament,” Gober said.
As the fall semester ended. Wood became sick
constantly. Her condition became evident when
after rushing through her last final exam she was
unable to walk back to her dorm. Her parents
drove from their home in Terrell, Texas, to pick up
their daughter and admit her into Baylor Hospital
in Dallas.
Several operations and biopsies later revealed
that she had several growths in her body, and do
lors diagnosed her with Hodgkin’s disease.
According to the National Cancer Institute.
Hodgkin’s Disease accounts for less than I percent
of all cancer cases in this country.
After these various procedures. Wood was
released from the hospital and allowed to go home
for Christmas.
“It was nice because all of her family got to
come in and be w ith her,” Gober said. “So she got
to see everyone before she died."
On Jan. 2, she was to be transferred to a differ
ent intensive care unit because doctors had told
friends and family that she was doing a million
times better than how she was just two days earlier,
Gober said.
“Being generally 95 percent curable, we thought
we were dealing with ‘good’ cancer,’" he said.
Wood was buried in a Texas A&M “Maroon
Out” 2002 T-shirt, an A&M necklace and a
maroon casket.
“She was all about A&M; she loved going here,”
Gober said.
