Mary and family,
I am so saddened to learn of your mother’s passing. I was very fond of Evelyn and have wonderful memories of her from our high school escapades, to her retelling the stories of your Dad and Newfoundland later on in life. Please know of my deepest sympathy and prayers for Ev and the family. I regret that I will not be able to attend the services since I will be away. Again, my deepest sympathy, Ev was such a great lady. If you need anything, please call.
