In Memory...

We had a service on Monday for my Auntie Gladys and my cousin Don. They both passed away within the last year and the family brought them back to Massachusetts to be laid to rest. Actually, Don's ashes were sprinkled at Mt. Chocorua in New Hampshire. My Dad did the service. It was nice to see the family even though the circumstances weren't the best.

My fondest memory of Don was one Christmas at my grandparent's house in Massachusetts. I had received an easel and paints as a gift and he took the time to show me how to paint. I've never forgotten that--I was probably 10 years old or so. I'll always remember my Auntie Gladys and our trip to Newfoundland. It was a hoot anytime she and my grandmother (her sister) were together! It was quite an experience traveling around Newfoundland, searching graveyards as they disagreed about where people were buried or where they had lived. Auntie Gladys also loved it when I brought the kids to visit. She always enjoyed seeing them.
