my sympathy on the loss of your mother. our [ my] generation is passing away but our spirits remain.
Sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I always remember her as a kind lady with a wonderful smile. Cherish all your wonderful memories as they will help you get through this time.
Dear Mary & David,
Just wanted to again say how sorry we were to hear of Evelyn’s passing. We printed a copy of her obit from the Tribune. We will have a mass said for her at our church. Best wishes and much love. Bart & Jane
We knew her as Aunt Evelyn and I remember her from my childhood but also, a few years before she passed, she called my mom’s (Audrey’s)house and I answered since I was visiting. I was so impressed with her sharp mind and her memory of us as kids and young adults. She was a great lady, as was my kind and loving grandmother, Hazel. May they both rest in peace in God’s wondrous care.
Tom Siegel (Hazel Hohenstern’s grandson)
