Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and your wonderful family, Paul. Though we didn't get to spend a lot of time with Evelyn, over the many years we have known her she was always such a gracious lady, smiling and full of kindness for those around her. We love you both, and knowing you has been a true blessing in our lives. May God's Grace sustain you through this difficult new life's chapter.

Nana--as I have always known Evelyn--was held in loving regard by our families (Harris & Pierce) for the love, patience and care she so freely gave to our children, Kristin and Ryan Harris (now 26 and 23). She will alway claim a special place in our hearts and memories.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Family.
