Northborough – Abigail “Abby” Rose Bachman, infant daughter of Roberto J. and Aimee B. (Beaton) Bachman, passed away Thursday, March 22, 2012 at Children's Hospital, Boston.

Abigail means “father of joy” in Hebrew and she brought light and joy to all of those who have known her, cared for her, and embraced her life, even if they didn's get the honor to actually meet her. Abby's time here on earth was too brief, but her eternal voyage has just begun.
