A special thank you

To the Editor:

On behalf of my family -- husband Dennis; son James and wife, Jenn; granddaughter Catherine Farrell; and daughter Kelly and special friend, Howard Jones.

I would like to thank everyone who came to Thibault's to help us celebrate my mother's (Anita Reynolds) life.

There's a lot to be said, coming from a small area (Rumford, Mexico, Dixfield), where you can develop so many dear friends.

I would also like to thank everyone who donated food, sent flowers and made donations in my mother's memory.

When you come from a large family (my mother was from a family of 10 and being the last), it's very comforting to have the support of all the cousins and their families.

A special thank you to my friends, the Red Hat Chili Mommas, who cooked, made donations and sent flowers; my mother's partners in crime (LOL) at the Dixfield Town Office, Charlotte and Vicki; and my mother's friend, Sharon Greaton, who came in from Portland.

Last, but not least, special thanks to Thibault's Funeral Home, Catherine Ross and Richie Philbirck, who made everything run so smoothly.
