Just wanted to say that your mother was a wonderful person. My husband Kevin did the senior program for the town of Bolton. That's how we met your mom. She also gave my daughter her kayak which my daughter loves. We will never forget her for she was a wonderful person. Sorry for your loss. Kevin, Martha, Brittney and Nicholas Vincent.
