I was so blessed to care for Doddle while she was hospitalized in the last few months. We renewed a friendship that spanned 50 years. In our talks during the night, her love for her family and the joy they brought her was so evident. Some people make a lasting impression on us and even though they are gone the memories live on. I am so sorry for your loss.

Evelyn was a joy to laugh with at Fleming and was a joy to work with at Showtimers. I am proud to have known her from the brassy little girl to the brassy, worldly-wise woman, over 50 years.

To the Wiseley Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Evelyn and I went to Monroe and Fleming together. I will remember her as a very pretty girl who was a good friend during our school years. I last spoke with her late Winter when I called to tell her about our 45th High School Reunion. You all will be in my prayers in the days ahead.
