So sorry to read that Evelyne had passed. You all are in my loving prayers at this time. She was a loving friend of all our service buddies. We sure had some wonderful memories together. She will be missed by a lot of people in this world but she is at rest now. Your friend from the 124th.
I had the pleasure of working with Evelyn in the office at the Police Department. She had a great sense of humor and contagious laughter. Always a kind woman, and I also knew many of her nieces an nephews, as well as her husband Don and his brother at their place of business, Hywire formerly on Old Broadway.
Very happy that Evelyn had a long life and enjoyed it with a big smile. Sad to read of her passing, may God bless her.
