Dear, Ava, Larry, Jamie, Tommy, Alison,
I am so sorry for your loss, I feel your pain, your mom would call me from time to time, to tell me how proud she was of each any every one of you , HOW LUCKY SHE WAS. And how was she to be rembered by me, what did she pass on that I would use on the rasing of my girls, All I could come up with is beauty before age.
But so many more things come to my mind.
We have lost a Beauty. I wish I would have known I would have come . No more pain, A Real BEAUTY we lost , What a gain for Heaven,

Elaine Gladu

Jamie, Tom and family,
I am sorry you have had to say good bye to your amazing and loving Mother. Your Mom has fought a difficult and courageous battle the last several years, her will is one to be admired by all. I hope all your wonderful memories will soon dry up your tears and you find yourselves laughing out loud. She is loved by all those she had to leave, I hope you can find comfort in knowing she is with those who have gone before her and continues to be surrounded by love. You are in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.
God bless all of you.
Love,

Dear Evans Family,
When we look up at the evening sky and see stars, perhaps they are not the stars but rather brilliant bright openings in Heaven where the love of our
lost ones shines down to let us know
they are with us always.
Your Mom is resting.
She was a great lady!
Love
