I will miss you Aunt Evie. What a wonderful and funny lady. We spent many, many days at the beach when I was young and were able to get together a few years ago and go to Ocean City to walk the boardwalk. It was just like old times. Her silly personality was a Killian trait that resides in everyone born into the family....get us all in one room and see it all unfold! A star shines a little brighter now. You will be missed!!
