The woman found decapitated in Farmingdale Tuesday was a popular longtime language arts professor at Farmingdale State College.

“Patricia Ward was a member of the campus for 28 years. She was well-known, well-liked, and well-respected,” Patrick Calabria, vice president of institutional advancement at Farmingdale State, told Patch. “The campus is a very sad place today.”

Ward, who was in her 60s, was an assistant professor of language arts at the campus’ Educational Opportunity Center, which works with high school students who need help preparing for college. She also worked at the college’s Brentwood campus.

coward would think this is a thing of strength, importance or vindication of some odd debt or belief? A teacher in her 60s?

9. Cue Stories

about how she spent the past 30 years trying to get help out of the mental health system for her very ill son. And no, I'm not being snarky. It's a sadly common story.

10. I totally agree

People like her son need help not ridicule. It may be hard to get them to accept treatment but we as a nation should have the resources easily available for those who seek help.
