Cousin Evelyn
I remember Evelyn from growing up in Oxford. She and Holly were a part of our extended family. I enjoyed knowing my cousins, and was fond of them. Alas, we should have spent more time together, and after High School we saw little of each other. That is my loss. But I was glad to get re-connected to Evelyn some years ago through Facebook and in person when my wife and I traveled from Ohio. Evelyn was proud of her family and we got to meet some of them. I hope we can stay connected. Evelyn, it's not good-bye, it's "see you later"!
So sorry for your loss . She
