Aunt Evelyn;
You were always a bright spot in my life. I remember all the good times at Fox Lake and at family get-together. My kids talk about the special toys that would get from you. Thank you for making me feel special every time I saw you. I am so glad you are with Uncle Bob now-I know how much you missed him. We will look for the brightest star in the sky and know that you are all up there together having a "catch up" on all the news.

Please accept our sympathy during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Although, we knew Aunt Evelyn for a short time, she brought a ray of sunshine to our lives, and especially to our daughter, Karen.
May God bless you and your loved ones.
