HAMPTON – The house at 21 Battcock Road has been lighted up for Christmas each December since 2006, done up a little bigger each year by Hunter Lawson in remembrance of his mother Shelly.
“I think she would think it’s awesome,” said Lawson, a Winnacunnet High School graduate who turned 18 this year. “It’s gotten crazier every year.”
His mother, Michelle “Shelly” Lawson, was a WHS grad herself, working as a single mother at La Bec Rouge when she died suddenly from a brain aneurysm at 31 years old. Hunter, who was 4 years old that year, has since then been raised by Shelly’s parents Chuck and Marge, as well as his La Bec Rouge family – his godparents, longtime La Bec manager Dan “Desi” Lanio and former owner, Tracey Dewhurst.
