To the Burkhardt/Lyons/Paskowicz families,
It was a pleasure to have known Evelyn. She was a person of high moral integrity with the willingness to help others if at all possible. As a neighbor in the 701 building LHV, she was always concerned in the affairs of the building and also willing to be of help to whomever was having a difficult time. And, her sense of humor was a pleasure to experience. But, her outstanding concern and love was of her family. I feel as though I know you all because she would
speak of you with great pride. My sympathy to you for your great loss. (Cousin) Milada Benca
