Message: Just last week LaVonne showed me Evelyn's funeral pamphlet.  I just want to tell the family that both my mother and I really enjoyed Evelyn's company while we lived with her here at AppleTree Court.  Mom and Evelyn played soo many games together, and really had a lot of fun together. Such a wonderful lady - I am sure she has many rewards in Heaven. I miss her smile here at home, but I know she is happy now. - Laurie Hansen
