St Patrick's Cemetery Wallingford, Vermont 2025

 We returned to St. Patricks in Julys of 2025 looking for the grave of Lena P. Drzewiczewski, a dear friend and colleague of Susan's. And we found her.

Close by is the monument for the Timbers family. On the reverse side of the stone says everything you need to know about them.

I can't tell you which cemetery in Boston these two monuments were found but a friend sent these to me and I thought they were worthy enough to pass along to you.

I wonder what "their way" was?

Love, Truth and Honor

attended all his steps, and dwelt

ever in his heart:

Knowledge was the end he aimed at,

and Science the familiar companion

of his thought.

He loved first his wife and children,

next his country,

then the whole world of man,

and last and least of all himself.

His widow's sorrows

have sanctified this humble monument,

and his children's tears have bedewed it

and thus it is a shrine

sacred to Affection, Memory and Hope.

"How much we miss her no tongue can tell 

How much we loved her, O how well, 

God loved her too and thought it best

To take hr home and be at rest."
