"Unconditional love" says it all, when we think of Aunt Ev. To the family, the pleasure of recalling a special moment with "Mom", "Nanny", "Aunt Eve", will be a treat forever. We love you all! ~Tom and Pam & Family

Dear Jim, Chris and Kate:
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mom- a great fun, courageous and spiritual woman. She never forgot a birthday card for her nieces and nephew
and always welcomed us as houseguests. Aunt Evie will be remembered always with love and affection. God give you strength and love in the coming days. Love and prayers.
