Hello Brian,
I just learned late today of your mother’s passing. I, along with my mother and my sister are truly sorry to hear. I took my mother to see your mom about one and a half years ago at Myers. It was such a nice visit. I would have taken her to visit your mother more recently but I had major surgery one year ago and have been limited with driving. 
I am sorry that we couldn’t be at the service today but I truly didn’t see the notice until this evening. 
I will tell my mother when I’m with her tomorrow. She is now 86 and although in decent health, she does have dementia. We are grateful that it’s mostly limited to short term memory. She does remember many things and she certainly knows me, Amy and all about family. Mom was always close to and so fond of Aunt Evelyn. 
I hope you and your family are well. My condolences to you at this time. 
All the best, Rory

Evelyn was my mother-in-law for almost 30 years and I have really missed seeing her and spending  time with her and deeply mourned her loss. She was very welcoming to this shiksa and never made our differences in religious backgrounds an issue. The first time I met her, Brian brought me home for an Evelyn dinner (brisket) and I promptly got a migraine and had to spend the night! She took it in stride, gave me an ice pack and accepted me and didn’t criticize me or think I was a bad wife to her son as is the stereotype of a Jewish mom whose son marries a non-Jew.  I didn’t even know that Hanukah candles  disappeared!  I thought she had blown them out like birthday candles, and removed them, but she didn’t get upset with me at my ignorance. We had hundreds of good times over the years  just eating and talking and laughing and hanging out with Brian and my daughters and often with  my mother, Tillie, too. She and my mom  and sister, Mare,  were truly good friends and for that I was always thankful.  An afternoon with them was sure to bring laughter and good memories. Evelyn shared with me her blueberry muffin recipe, taught me about potato kugel and briskets,  green pea potage, and chicken paprikash.  I learned to love matzah ball soup! One always associated a good meal with Evelyn. She sure could  cook! She sure could she eat! “Put down the lobster” now, Ev.  Rest In Peace. I hope my daughters learn from your example and stay kind and loving  and honest all their days ...
