Kevin and all,
Sounds like your mom was made from the same cloth as mine. Same interests and dedication to family. It shows in you. You are an amazing soul as I'm sure she was... blessings as you and all the family travel that path of change. My heart shares your sadness and mourns.

I met Evelyn in the early 1970s when I was a leader with the Boy Scout troop at St. Joseph's Church. She was a wonderful person and a joy to be with.
