    I just learned of Mrs. Thomson passing. Lived beside her and Mr. Thomson for over 15 years. Daughter Holly went to school with the boys. I have since left Woodham, and I always remember Mrs. Thomson covering her flowers for frost and picking her asparagus, sometimes I was jealous of her garden. I’d watch her on the riding lawn mower. Hanging out laundrey faithfully, snow or whatever weather. I think she lived a very good life with a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    To all the members of the Thomson family our sincere condolances. Isobel was a quiet but key part of the Woodham Community for as long as I can remember. Many times she made her garden bed flowers available for me to use for Sunday service in the Woodham church.

    Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother/wife Isabel.
    I remember visiting with her and her parents/family many times when
    we were youngsters, as Dad (Lorne) was a 1st cousin to Grandma Bessie Grieve-Armstrong.
    Over the years, Isabel has faithfully kept in touch with our family, which we have greatly appreciated.
    Sending our love and prayers over the miles from Florida.
    Marian, Grant

    To the Thomson Family – especially Clarence, Vern, Melanie, Earl, Laura, Aubrey, Mikayla and Neil:
    Please accept our deepest sympathy at your loss. I only got to know Isabel and Clarence over the last few years, but I found Isable to be a friendly and caring individual. She was always interested in what was happening when we shared church services together and she enjoyed coming to the Centralia church suppers when she was able. Her ready smile and friendliness were always appreciated. We are thinking about the whole Thomson family at this time. God bless.
