Deepest sympathy to Shelly/Jerry and Elaine. It was just two weeks ago @ Mike's 65th that we shared a table with
Evelyn with her vigor and zest for life. She was always in
controll of her life and love of her children was always
noticeable. We have all gone through sad times like these,
but the positive memories of our beloved parents make
us strong during these times of sorrow as we move on
with our daily lives. Marty and Emmy Sedar
