To the Hanneken Family,
We were so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful person and we enjoyed visiting her in Mr. Zion. She talked so fondly about her family. My mom loved her like a sister. She was so good to our Uncle John.

My Dear Mike & Jerry, we are so very sorry to learn about the passing of your dear mother, Evelyn. I have so many fond memories of your mother, growing up across the street from your family. I remember her sunbathing in the back yard; playing volleyball on Sunday afternoons, and walking her little dog.. so many memories. I'm thankful that I was able to stop by and visit with her not that long ago, after all of these years, to see how she was doing, and get a good glass of ice tea. Our hearts go out to you & your family. I know that Time will work it's magic and begin to heal your hearts... as we know all to well what it is like to lose our mother. I know how much Evelyn loved you boys... and I know too, that she's saving you a good seat, in a sunny spot. Peace be with you dear, dear Evelyn. Sharon Miller & Janet (Sissy Miller) Sapp
