Evelyn and Jack were in Sacramento First ward with me while I grew up. Jacki was my Sunday School teacher and was a big influence on my life. I loved delivering the mail to them as a mailman. This family was and is very special not only to me but my family. I was very great full to have known this family during my childhood.

I am sorry to hear of Evelyn's passing. She and Jack took me to the Oakland Temple many years ago. I adored both of them and Jacki was a very special friend.

I had Mrs. Larsen as a teacher at Hiram Johnson and I also served as her office assistant. She was fair and well liked by her students. Thanks for being a influence in my life. Although I was a good math student she helped me to decide what career path to follow. I will forever be grateful to Mrs Larson as a teacher and as a person. My condolences to her family and friends. We will miss you.
