To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

My deepest sympathy

Dear Lillian and Family,
We were very saddened to hear about Billy's death--so young! We were just talking to our son Jimmy who lives in Alaska with his wife and two dogs--Jimmy sends his condolences. He remembers spending time in the McEvoy household--CCD classes, after school get-togethers, etc. Please say hello to all your kids. We have such found memories of all of you from the time we lived on Dean Street. We now share our time between the Adirondacks (our permanent residence), and our winter residence in California where our younger son Tom and his wife live.
