I remember Evelyn almost as long as I remember my mom. Jan and I have been best friends since before we started to school so Evelyn put up with me for a lot of years. From letting us have slumber parties there to meeting our boyfriends(or blind dates) and laughing at us or sometimes not thinking we were so funny. If I ever heard someone call me by my two first names I knew it was Evelyn's family and I guess it was because we were close like family. It's so crazy that we both lost our Moms in less than a month and I will miss Evelyn so much. And seeing that sweet little smile and " Frankie June how are you doing?" Love you all!!!
