So sorry for the loss of such a wonderful woman. I left NH 13 years ago but often talked of my friend, Alberta. Many years ago, I looked forward to my weekly Bingo at St. Hedwigs. I always sat with Alberta and Pat and we became friends. She loved to talk of her family and especially her trips to New Orleans to visit her son. She was treated like a queen while she was there, she would tell us. I'm sure that she left so many people with so many wonderful memories. Embrace those memories with the same love that they grew from. RIP Alberta
