Jessica, Patty and Melissa-sorry to hear about your grandma. She was a wonderful person.

I was reading through all of the condolences when I read the one my daughter Jessica had wrote, she took the words right out of my mouth. MOM loved her live, loved her friends, but most of all she loved her family and did everything to help them when they needed it. MOM was the most generous person I ever knew. I LOVE YOU MOM and I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET YOU.

I was lucky enough to gain Gram in my life almost 9 years ago. I considered her my grandma. She always made me feel like part of the family and she was an amazing, loving, kind and generous person who I am truly honored to have been able to call Gram. I love you and will miss you always.

Evelyn was a true and wonderful friend and I will miss her. We talked laughed and cried together during the 17 years that I have known her. I will always cherish the memories of a dear friend. She always had time for everyone and I marveled at her ability to juggle her time. She fought a galant fight and was brave beyond compare. I will miss her smiles, words of wisdom and all around friendship. RIP my dear Evie.

My Grandma was the most selfless person I have ever met. She always put eveyone in our family before herself. I have never met anyone as kind, caring, loving and generous as my Gram. I am truly lucky that I got to call her my Grandma. There is no one in the world more special to me as she was. She will be missed by everyone who has ever met her. R.I.P. Gram <3
