I will remember Evie as the most considerate, loving and helpful receptionist at our St. John Catholic Church in Seattle.
She brought so much joy with her manner of dealing with people. We were so very blessed to have had her and her real friendship for everyone. She was a dear dear lady and good friend. Thank you for sharing her with us!
