Sorry to hear of the loss, Evelyn and my mother Bonnie Kilcoyne (Stutzman) were very good friends and went dancing together for many years. I lost mom last year in Nov, so know how you all feel. My prayers are with you!!!

We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was our neighbor in the 1970's. She was the nicest lady and the best cook. We still remember her potato salad. Out thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Take care,

The Garcia's (Joe, Cecilia, Jessie, Shelly and Kenny)
