My heart goes out to family. Evelyn (and Bob) were our neighbors, as we started our young family.
She imparted much love, and the wealth of information of a successfully loved, mother and wife. Information , love, and wisdom that I share with those who come to need it. We loved her very much. Know that I too, carry her heart, in my heart, along with my own mother.

I am sorry for your loss. It is difficult to deal with the loss of a loved one. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 reminds us that God is always there to comfort us in our time of need. I pray this comforts you and your family.
