Barb, I am greatly sadden by the loss of your Mom. She was a wicked nice person. I will keep her and your family in my prayers. Love, Kevin
Dear Dick, Don & Barbara, As a child, I would sit in my mother’s lap and listen as she had her long chats with .Sis. over the phone. Years later it was joyful to watch the two of them together as they reflected on old times. .Aunt Evelyn. was a gem. Such spunk, yet, such grace. I admired your mom. Love, Cyn
I worked with your Mom at my very first job (Zurich). What a lovely lady! We had such fun, going out to dinners after work with the group and fun Christmas parties, too. I remember you all had a pool table in the basement (if I’m wrong about this, don’t tell me! Afterall, it’s been about 45 years ago!)and we all had a fun time trying to play one evening. I’d see Evelyn going into your house on Pine Rock when I’d be picking up or delivering one of my sisters at Sacred Heart–we’d wave; when I’d go by and didn’t see her, I always wondered and hoped she was doing well. What a sweetheart! How lucky you all were to have her for your Mom! I’m so sorry for your loss….
