Thanks for all the Love, Mom!

On 8/1/2024, my mother Betty (88 years old) passed away while we were on vacation on Newfound Lake in Bristol, NH. It was her happy place! My Aunt Mary Jane, my mom, and I have been renting a lakeside cabin for several years for two weeks. This year, we got to the lake on July 21st. We had many fun days, especially when visiting family spent multiple days with us. She especially loved seeing her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her health had been declining in the past few months, and it was hard for her to get around. She loved Newfound Lake and that is where she passed on to the next journey. I am sure that she was glad to see my dad again! They were Class Lovebirds (Class of 1953) and married in 1956. My dad passed away almost 10 years ago. She is most likely busy touching base with all of her other loved ones, including my brother Tom. She will be greatly missed by many. and we are blessed with all the great memories she left us. Love you!
