My deepest sympathy to the Schwalb family. No matter how ill she was, we are never prepared to lose a mother. Evelyn was such a good friend to my sister, and always so friendly to me. May each day find you one step closer to a place of gentle peace and warm remembrance of special memories of your precious mother.
