I am so sorry for your loss.I am so glad you had so many wonderful years together. I read somewhere after I lost my mom.. that when you look to the heavens on a starry night, that instead of stars you are seeing porch lights on welcoming your loved one home!

Thinking of all of you in the loss of your Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma. She was an amazing woman and obviously a great family matriarch. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her this past Christmas and Dave has wonderful memories of being accepted as "another grandchild" when he was a kid. Please accept our deepest sympathies and find comfort in knowing Evelyn will live on in many through the wonderful memories she made during her lifetime.
