@rep_stevewomack The Arkansas broadcasters offer our collective condolences. Our hearts are with you and the Womack family. May her memory be for a blessing

Sunday afternoon, Heaven welcomed an angel. My wife of 41 years, Terri Womack, went to live in eternity with Jesus. My heart is broken and that space remains without her presence. I take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering in pain and is at peace evermore. Her legacy of love will live in the hearts of all who knew her. Our family appreciates the outpouring of prayers and support. You have all honored her in such a special way, and we are eternally grateful. womack.house.gov/news/documents…
