Dear Jim and Family,
I was shocked this morning when I looked through the obits for the past days and saw Evelyn listed. I hadn't checked for a while because I was ill.
When I worked at A.B. Dick, Evelyn helped me so much and we became such good friends. The group in our part of the office were very close and had so much fun, going for dinners and celebrating our birthdays. She gave me advice about a lot of things.
She was so devoted to all of you and I know she will be missed.
I'll always have her in my heart.
God Bless all of you.

My family and I have wonderful memories of Evelyn or as my siblings and I called her "Mrs Filpi". Being a neighbor for all of my school age years has many many memories of her and my mom visiting, the neighborhood gatherings, yard parties and just being a great neighbor. Those memories will be with me forever. I believe Evelyn and my mom will meet again and look down on all their loved ones. My sympathy and prayers for your family and my all your memories of her comfort you.
