Jim,Kathy and family,
Your Mom as my neighbor was such a joy, as my friend a blessing.
I learned so much from her about antiques and she was always ready to go with me to a garage sale on my days off or Valley Junction over Christmas time. We took Peach with us one year when she was visiting and I reallly thought we would never get warm when I got them back to Evelyns house.
Playing under the big pine tree in her yard when Heather and Jennifer were little is another fun memory for me.
You each have your own wonderful memories of her that will always keep her close to you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
