WE HAVE KNOWN EVELYN FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN SHE WORKED AS A DEMONISTRATOR FOR HORMEL, SHE AND MY MOM WORKED TOGETHER. AFTER SHE MARRIED BILL, SHE BECAME MY NEIGHBOR. WE SPENT SOME ENJOYABLE OUTINGS WITH THEM OVER THE YEARS. LATER WHEN BILL GOT SICK, I WAS HER DESIGNATED 911 GIRL. SHE WOULD CALL ME ANYTIME THEY NEEDED A RIDE OR WHEN HE WAS SICK AND SHE HAD TO CALL FOR HELP. AFTER SHE MOVED TO IOWA WE SPENT A WEEK CAMPING NEAR THE RETIREMENT HOME WHERE SHE AND IRENE LIVED. WE WENT FOR LUNCH EVERY DAY AND ENJOYED SEEING HER, AND MEETING IRENE. EVELYN WAS LIKE A SECOUND MOM TO ME, AND I WILL TRUELY MISS HER. I WANT TO THANK HER NIECE JODY FOR CALLING ME FROM TIME TO TIME LETTING ME KNOW HOW SHE WAS DOING. I WOULD CALL HER EVERY SUNDAY, AND WHEN I DIDN'T GET HER, I WAS UPSET. JODY WAS ALWAYS GOOD ABOUT CALLING ME, EVEN FROM AUSTRALIA WHEN EVELYN FINALLY GOT HER WISH, AND FLEW AWAY. WE WILL MISS HER, BUT WE ALSO KNOW SHE IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE. OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY. WE WILL ALLWAYS LOVE AND REMEMBER HER. GENE & BEVERLY
