Condolences for Ms. Woodrick's Family

Staff, Parents, and Friends

Saturday evening, our beloved Rosie Woodrick returned home from a meeting, only to find her expired mother on the floor. Rosie wishes everyone to know  that she is fine,happy in the knowledge she was able to avoid a nursing  home option for her mother in favor of Rosie personally taking care of her  mother for these past seven years. Rosie spoke about her mother's sound mind and ability to perform cooking  tasks and light chores of her mother's own desire. When Rosie left earlier  in the day Saturday, her mother was in good cheer and preparing to begin  her home routine. When Rosie returned, her mother looked to be asleep on  the floor without any signs of distress. For those whom knew Rosie's sweet ninety-two year old mother, we will  especially miss her beautiful, quick mind and her fantastic culinary  talents. Selfishly, I will especially miss her chicken and turkey salad  creations. Rosie told me she will keep busy working; thereby, avoiding depression. Rosie is uplifted by a host of fond remembrances, as well as her own children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and belief in God's  healing graces. Together as a faculty and as friends, we will pray for  Rosie's peace of mind, as she has "most assuredly" prayed for ours,  "countless  of times."
