I did not know Evelyn well, but I enjoyed visiting with her when we were together. I last seen her at Warren's graduation party. She looked great.

I met and worked with your mom at Waste Management. Even after we had both left the Company, we still kept in touch. After I moved to Minnesota and Ohio with my family, I enjoyed the surprise of phone calls and beutifully written letters from your mom. She would always fill me in on the activities of her family and travels. You could tell she was very proud. I will miss her sense of humor and kindness. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Your mother was a grand lady. I learn a great deal from her during our time spent working on the Valparaiso Guild together. She was a tireless worker and a good friend. She will be missed.

What a sweet lady! I will miss that smile she had for me when you brought her in to the store. She was a real lady, in the truest sense of the word. Sorry for your loss.
