The jubilarians’ joy seemed to permeate the entire Woods on their special day. I was and am filled with gratitude for their faithful lives of prayer and service.
Sister Rose has been my friend and traveling companion for over 40 years. Love her dearly and miss her living in New Albany Indiana. Wish I could visit more often but distance slows me down now that I’m in my 80’s. I do love the beautiful facility and comfort she lives in Terre Haute and visit often. Thank you for sharing photos! Love, Terry Jones
