My wife and I are New England Yankees with deep roots in Dedham,Massachusetts and Claremont, New Hampshire.

My daughter, Katie, has created memorials for many of those killed in the ongoing war in Palestine / Israel, if interested in leaving flowers for them here is a link to her virtual cemetery of the many Palestinians killed in the past two years: Palestinian Martyrs
