Guestbook
May God be with your family during this time of sorrow.
A few things I will always remember about Evelyn. She loved to fish. We took her to Lake of the Woods in Az and she caught the 1st and biggest fish and didn’t stop smiling the whole day. I’ll always remember what a great help she was with Erica as a new born, and let Ruth and I get some needed sleep. Ev also loved her van. I’ll remember how brave she was travelling across country several times by herself in her van.
