Deborah "Debbie" Lamothe

I lost my wife of 35 years unexpected on Tuesday morning. Due to this unforeseen situation I had not been able to prepare myself financially for this. I'm not one to usually ask people for help for anything but always willing to lend a hand. My wife can be best described as a caring, loving, and generous person. She raised our 4 children and remained a great wife to me. We met when we were 16 and 18 at the Spencer Fair and had been together ever since. She was my best friend. Over 35 years we have had many ups and downs but remained at each other side. We have been fortunate enough to share memories with people from all walks of life. Debbie loved animals, fairs, country music, and spending time with her children and grandchildren

In this situation I'm asking that if you are able to help me cover any of the expenses to bury my wife and attain a cemetery plot at Norte Dame in Southbridge, MA where I would be able to spend time with her it would be greatly appreciated.

If your unable to help financially please share to anyone you can. I appreciate anything.

Thank you

-James Lamothe
