Issues with fat footer and adding footer widgets in Activello

Activello

Hi! I found this link on another post to add widgets to your Activello theme:

Dynamically Adding Four Footer Widget Areas

I followed the instructions but keep getting an error in the footer area of my WP site,
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home1/bluemountain/public_html/wp-content/themes/colorlib-child-theme/footer.php on line 135

Here is my footer code:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying the footer.
 *
 * Contains the closing of the #content div and all content after
 *
 * @package activello
 */
?>
				</div><!-- close .*-inner (main-content or sidebar, depending if sidebar is used) -->
			</div><!-- close .row -->
		</div><!-- close .container -->
	</div><!-- close .site-content -->

	<div id="footer-area">
		<footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
			<div class="site-info container">
				<div class="row">
					<?php if( !get_theme_mod('footer_social') ) activello_social_icons(); ?>
					<div class="copyright col-md-12">
						<?php echo esc_html( get_theme_mod( 'activello_footer_copyright', 'Activello' ) ); ?>
						<?php custom_activello_footer_info(); ?>
					</div>
				</div>
			</div><!-- .site-info -->
			<div class="scroll-to-top"><i class="fa fa-angle-up"></i></div><!-- .scroll-to-top -->
		</footer><!-- #colophon -->
	
	
	<footer>
 
    <?php
    /* The footer widget area is triggered if any of the areas
     * have widgets. So let's check that first.
     *
     * If none of the sidebars have widgets, then let's bail early.

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<?php  ?>

</html>

Can you help me find the error please? My site is www.bluemountain.events, but it has a splash page showing, so I’ll have to send you the login info I suppose…
