Bob and Barb,

We were sorry to learn of Mrs. McEvoy's passing. She was always so nice to Bill when he did the banking for us at the North Quincy branch. And, I loved that she and I shared the same name! Barb, I will never forget your hugs when you came through the line at my mom's wake four years ago! Bob, please extend our sympathy to all of your family!

Isaiah 66:13 "As a mother comforts her child, so I, your God, will comfort you." Love and prayers from Bill and our son, Patrick, too. God bless you,
