Sue, I didn't know your mother resided at the Presbyterian Home. I've lived in Farmington for the last 40 years and visit at the Home every once in a while. Had I known your mother was in Farmington, I would have gone by to see her. Charles Lee
As a classmate of her daughter Sue, I am glad to be able to share at this time. Mrs. Woodward's obituary was also sent to a list of Sue's classmates so they can keep her and her family in their prayers. It is nice to have this electronic connection. Blessings.
I didn't know Edna was still living until I saw the obit in the Farmington paper. Wish I could have visited her. Would love to get in touch with her sister, Kathryn Miller, living in St. Louis if someone would send me her address and/or phone number. I met Edna years ago, she was a wonderful person.
Dear Sue, We read of your mother's passing and we are so sorry. She was a wonderful person. Both of our mothers have passed on so we know of your sorrow.
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, she was a lovely lady. I worked at the manor doing activities and got to know her very well. I often thought about her after i left there, as i always will. My thoughts and prayers are with your family may god bless you all.
