She said she wanted to read something in tribute to her little girl on what would have been her 20th birthday. She said she was sure it would make her cry. Then something happened.

Well, ’tis the season for the classic Easter egg hunt. There have been many over the years and the past weekend in the R-FH area. And there are bound to be more over the Easter weekend in many a back yard.
Focus: Egg Hunting in Rumson
The sun may have taken a respite from spring on Sunday, but that and a little drizzle of rain didn’t stop Rumson kids from a little tradition — the annual egg hunt at Victory Park.
In Memorium: Services Set for Longtime Fair Havenite Craig Sergeant
“He lived his entire adulthood in three different homes in Fair Haven, NJ, a town he adored and planned never leave.”
That’s what longtime Fair Havenite Craig C. Sergeant’s obituary said about the local man who passed away unexpectedly on March 22 at the age of 71 in New Brunswick.

A Mother’s Mission: Maddy’s Gift of Love
What’s a mother to do when the light of her life is extinguished? Dawn Tilton Massabni has been looking for an answer to that question for about a year now — since the day her dauntless, bright spirited 19-year-old daughter Maddy died unexpectedly from toxic shock syndrome on March 30, 2017 at 4:55 p.m.
That answer, or any other, has hardly come easily for the longtime Rumson mom and Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) graduate who grew up in the area and raised her family there. But now she thinks she’s found a way to keep the light that she and so many knew as Maddy shining bright.
Focus: Weathering Spring in Rumson
