I’m so sorry for your loss – she was so much a part of our lives and we spent so many good times with your family. I think your Dad was the first one to give Jen a taste of beer by dipping her pacifier in his beer and she loved it!!! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I had the privilege of serving with Evelyn on the Memorial Hospital Auxiliary board. I will always remember her kindness and concern for others and her wonderful sense of humor. I considered her to be one of my friends. I will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers during the difficult days ahead. She will be missed by many.

I knew your folks from the Vegetable Growers Assn. My parents (Lucy & Cy Weissert) were also farmers. Like many of the comments I read, your mom always had a smile. It must have been a hard decision to have a private funeral I think your mom is proud of you for doing what you can to keep many people safe. Just wanted to send prayers and “hugs” your way.

Anne, Jane and your families,
Your mom was very instrumental on the Patient Advisory Committee. She always challenged us to elevate the quality of services for the community. My sister left us the same day as your mom so I know the challenges this current situation brings in honoring their lives and wishes. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
