I CAN STILL REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY, AUGUST 5, 2023 WHEN EVELYN, SUSAN LEWIS, AND I HAD LUNCH AT PERKINS RESTAURANT IN WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY. WHEN THE BILL CAME FOR THE LUNCH WE ALL ENJOYED, AN ANGEL OF A PERSON MUST HAVE OVERHEARD THAT WE WERE CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY. AND THE ENTIRE BILL WAS PAID IN FULL!!! WHAT A SURPRISE TO ALL OF US.

THEN MY HUSBAND, THOMAS H. BEIGHLEY GOT HIS NIECE LINDA DIDONATO TO BUY SIX BEAUTIFUL RED ROSES FOR ME. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM LUNCH, THE RED ROSES WERE OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT DOOR. I GAVE THEM TO EVELYN AS I AM ALLERGIC TO FLOWERS. EVELYN AND I SHARED THE BEAUTIFUL RED ROSES, AND SHE REALLY APPRECIATED THEM TOO. SHE WAS MY DRIVER TO FISHKILL BAPTIST CHURCH EACH SUNDAY...HOW I WILL MISS THOSE CONVERSATIONS....EVELYN HAS TRULY EARNED HER "WINGS IN HEAVEN". WHAT A BLESSING IT WAS TO KNOW HER! REST IN PEACE...WE ALL MISS YOU AT LEXINGTON CLUB AT GALLERIA...PATTY & TOMMY BEIGHLEY
