Summer nights won't be the same without the sound of Ev playing the organ. She helped teach us what being neighbors was all about and was always there with a smile when we needed her. We'll miss her and our thoughts are with her family.

Dear Mary Kay, Greg, Eileen and Barb,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful mother. I can just picture her with that dynamic smile and always meticulously dressed. It brings a smile to my face thinking about the photos of your mom and dad at the incredible Halloween parties our parents had. She will be missed a great deal.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
God Bless,
