Condolences

  1. Brad Gilles

    To the family of my Aunt Evelyn, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Remember her smile and all the good times you all had with her. Remember the little things that made you laugh and even some that made you cry. She had a good time and she will have even more, with Bob and others who have gone to a better kind of life with no more pain or sadness. I still can see her and uncle bob when they would come over and play cards with my mom and dad, and I will never forget when aunt Evelyn would say,,,,,,,, DID I PUT MY CHIPS IN???????? She was a hoot at cards........We all will remember her and keep here in our hearts. Love to all,,, Brad
