To Evelyn's family, I only just learned of your loss and am so saddened. Evelyn and I had so many fun memories from 'swimming' our old boat across Oliver Lake when we couldn't restart it to going out on the town every weekend. What a happy soul and great friend! I'm sure she will remain in your hearts hearing her laughter with a smile on her face.
