Dear Jennie and Family, We have very fond memories of your Mother. She was an uncommon lady. Our last visit with her was in Branson when Duane and Nadine brought her to visit some of the Thomas clan. She will always be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I remember Lovell as my Granpa's (William) little sister and one of my mom's (Mildred) favorite aunts. She lived a wonderful long life and now she is with my parents in a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Memories and knowing she is in a better place will help you get through. Rick Bloomer
Dear Jennie and Family, Some of my strongest and sweetest memories were attending the Thomas Reunion in Farmington. Your mother and her sisters welcomed us with open arms. The last time I saw Aunt Lovell was at my parent's(Jim and Mildred Bloomer)50th wedding anniversary in Overland Park, KS in 1991. A group of Farmington folks made the long trip for this event. It was so appreciated and it was so wonderful to see Aunt Lovell with open arms. May God be with you. Linda Bloomer Grandstaff
