Suellen Armitage Eyre
What a beautiful lady...I always looked up to her as did many others from Folsom. I regret not going to visit her in recent years when I was in Louisiana.
I noticed that Elaine and Ed's wedding was mentioned in her obituary. Judy Wascom Loyde and I were in their wedding.in the original Baptist Church of Folsom. Judy and I were 5 years old. We were flower girls. Judy and I wore pink (Judy) and blue (me) organdy dresses. It was a very cold evening. Our mothers, Ola Wascom and Mary Ellen Armitage, had us wear flannel pajama bottoms under our dresses because it was so cold. I am sure the church was probably only heated with space heaters at that time also. I have pictures of Judy and me in our wedding dresses and our "handmade" bouquets of pink perfection camellia bouquets, probably made by my great aunt, Mae Magee, wife of Price Magee. She was the "floral designer" of the era in small town Folsom. The wedding was quite the occasion in Folsom.
My deepest sympathies to Elaine's family and especially to Ed.
Love,
Suellen Armitage Eyre
