Your Hug Meant the World
Nobody else held me so tight
Or made me feel so right
No one's eyes shined so bright with love
As my mom, who is now high above.
- Tamsen Butler
The world lost a beloved mother, Maureen Cardone, 69 of Salem, NH. Maureen passed peacefully at home on November 14, 2020 surrounded by her children and son-in-law. Maureen fought long and hard through lung cancer, brain cancer and breast cancer but lost her fight when her lung cancer returned.
