"The irony is, if this had happened to literally anyone else in their Cape Cod community, my mom would be the one glued to the news, leaving flowers at the beach, posting a photo dedication, and coordinating the gatherings around town,"
"My dad would be telling her to take a breath- but he'd be dropping donuts to the first responders when she wasn't looking."
"I am heartbroken, I am changed,"
Gerard (Jerry) Boucher, 72, and Kathleen (Kit) Boucher, 71, died Feb. 14 after falling through ice at Bee's River in Eastham while walking their black lab. At about 9 a.m., police responded to a distressed, wet dog and heard Kit screaming for help near the river. Kit had fallen about 30 feet from shore; officers attempted a rescue on the ice but could not save her. Divers recovered her body roughly two hours later. Jerry was confirmed to have been with her but his body was not found and the search was called off. The couple had lived in Eastham since 2008. Their daughter Katy posted a tribute urging acts of remembrance.
