Dear Pat Demarco and Family of Evelyn Dillon,



She is but asleep

In a place of glory

Free from earthly woes

Surrounded by Angels

to comfort her spirit

Rewarded with the quiet

solitude of eternity

Now and forever at rest







My husband Robert and I pray for you and your family at this time.

May Jesus comfort and bless you and your loved ones;bring you joy in the memories of her life as a mother,daughter, wife and grandmother who loved her family.
