Evelyn and I were friends since W. T. Grants in 1972. We had many luncheons together and stayed in touch for over 30 years -- a true friend.

Steve & Sue,

I never had the pleasure of meeting your mom, but I can tell by some of the qualities you both share (love, generosity & humor to mention a few) she had a big influence in your life and always will.

Losing your Mom at any age changes your life forever. May your memories and the love & support of your families & friends help you through the most difficult times.
