Margo, Renee, Clayton, Monica and Herms - so sorry to hear of Evonne's death. I have fond memories of her from the neighborhood and also espeically from my wedding. You guys took good care of me on that day but she did a "mother" thing for me before I walked down the aisle. She and I will always have that memory. Bobbie and Randy Reese
