BENNINGTON â A large group of family members and friends of the late Emily Hamann gathered Tuesday afternoon to remember her â releasing balloons near the spot off the Walloomsac Pathway where she was fatally attacked in January.
Tuesday was Hamannâs birthday, said her mother, Kelly Carroll.
Following remarks by Angela Emerson, the interim pastor of St. Peters Church, those gathered released balloons to watch them rise skyward over the nearby trees. While there was occasional light drizzle Tuesday, heavier rainfall held off until after the release.
People shouted, âHappy Birthday, Emily!â as the colorful balloons floated up and away.
