January 12, 2022 at 4:54 pmGram, I’m thinking about all my childhood memories with you. Traveling with you and Pa in the Holiday Rambler, eating lobster pie at Hill Top Steak House, numerous birthday parties, tons of homemade pies at the holidays, bean suppers at the church, the Haverhill Santa Parade, the Haunted House at Winnekenni Castle, school shopping, the rough way you brushed my hair when I was little (Lol), and many, many more memories. I miss you already! Love you!

January 18, 2022 at 5:10 pmTo Joan’s family,
We are so sorry to hear about Joan’s passing. She had a tough exterior but, we got to see a sweeter side of her as she stood by Scott’s side during a tough battle. She was a loving mother and did all that she could to comfort Scott. She also got to see how much we loved him too. She’s with her loved ones and we’re sure she’s smiling down on all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Karen and Dave

January 31, 2022 at 4:03 amI so fondly remember Joan from First Congregational Church and how hard she worked on all the committees there. Her Corn Chowder was the hit of the Christmas Bazaar and she kept the receipe a deep dark secret. She was loved by many and stood by her church until it was sold. I will miss her and her sweet smile. Peace be with you all and may God bless you and thank you for this lovely lady.
