I'm sorry to read about the passing of Evelyn. She was my best friend in high school. I often thought of her over the years but did not have any contact info to reach her.

Prayers and Thanksgiving
Eddie, Kathy, Bryan and Greg, and Janice and Jeannie and all family, I send my heartfelt thoughts to all of you in prayer for your peace and comfort as our "Babe" is now with the Lord and other loved ones. I have fond memories of times when our family visited with all of you. I have a sweet photo of your sister and mother at Aunt Mamies for a birthday party. I regret not being there today but my husband just had surgery and I have some difficulty maneuvering.
the peace of Christ be with you all. Love, Beth
