Ghost of Midnight

Best of FPF: In Memoriam

Front Porch Forum recently added an “In Memoriam” category for loved ones to remember someone who has passed – be it with a formal obituary and announcement of services, or simply a remembrance.

We thought these were well worth a share:

Since its quiet addition, members have honored the memory of Jim, of Starksboro, who had a “spirit of laughter, generosity, kindness, fellowship and sweet love of others,” Mad River Valley’s Marya, who loved “volunteering in the community, playing golf, bridge, and bocce, gardening, and taking long walks with her canine companion, Sadie,” and Bolton’s Sarah, who had “big blue eyes; big eye ashes; wonderful black curly hair; a great BIG heart; & very loving nature.”

Poultney remembers “Dr. Scott, passionate explorer and advocate for Earth’s creatures.” And, following Tom’s service and memorial bench dedication, Greensboro neighbors are invited to “come to Willey’s Store for family greetings, donuts, and a walk around the lake, or any part thereof.”

Finally, neighbors also learned that the former Middlesex town clerk, Cindy, hated the cold. “Even though my mom lived here in town for 40 years, winter was her nemesis. Per her wishes, our family will be spreading her ashes over a warm sunny tropical island this coming winter.”
