Dearest Evelyn,
Nancy and I considered it a privilege to have you as a part of our lives. We couldn't have asked for better (or more interesting) neighbors. I know that Nancy and Primo always had to have their competions and she always enjoyed the fun. I can only tell you what a joy it was to know both of you, I am extremely sad to hear this news and will keep you in my prayers. Knowing you and Primo made my life richer. My daughter Debbie and Vince send their love and prayers, also. I hope to see you when I come back to visit Ohio. Please keep in touch so I will know where to find you. Please give my love to Debbie and her family.

You are in my thoughts and heart.
Love,
Lissy

Primo was one of the most original people I have ever met. My mother lived next door for several years and in the last couple of years after Nancy died, Primo and Evelyn have been such good friends to me as I had to come back and forth from Virginia to help my Mom get everything together. Both Primo and Evelyn were always great neighbors and friends for my Mother (Lissy) and Nancy and I am grateful for their friendship in our difficult life changing time. I am so sorry that our last hug last summer was to be the last time I saw him but I'm grateful for the goodbye. Evelyn, I love you very much and I'm so sorry for your loss, I miss our visits. You and your family are in my family's prayers.

Its been a tough year for my family and my Aunt Evelyn. Its never easy losing two of your best friends in the same year...your brother and your husband. My Uncle Primo will be dearly missed. Some of the memories that I will always treasure are of watching him build things in his garage, making his own wine,sharing Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve meals, seeing all the Christmas luminary bags that lined their street, listening to his famous stories and all the giant bear hugs he would give me everytime I would see him. The world would be a better place if there were more people like my Uncle Primo, never missing an opportunity to make someone smile or laugh out loud. Its not often you get to see the love of two people who honored their vows for better or worse, in sickness and in health for nearly 60 years!! Thank you for that and for being such a dear friend to my father, Daniel J. Storey. Sending all my love and prayers to my Aunt Eve, cousins Debbie and Dave and their families. Godbless

Another great one has joined the gang in heaven. I remember many a Sunday morning with Primo and my Dad drinking coffee at our house. The stories they must be telling each other now!!! My thoughts are with your family.
