My deepest sympathies to the family. We have such wonderful memories from Pettibone and the Jakelich family a couple of doors down. It was so wonderful to see your mom a couple of years ago. Evelyn was such a warm and loving person.

My thoughts and prayers are with your children upon your passing. I worked with your mom at the Government Complex and also with your father when he was working for Commissioner Scheub. Your Mom was a lovely lady and tried to keep your father in tow when needed. I have some great memories of your mom not only from work, but outside of work. I shared time with your mom and your late "cousin" Mary Ann. She was a dedicated worker, had a sense of humor and was a loyal friend. Keep all your good memories close to your heart.

Jill, I am thinking of your entire family. Your mom was one of the sweetest ladies I knew. She always welcomed me into your home for dinner or a sleepover. So many great memories with both of your parents! We were lucky to have such great parents! Love to all of you as you navigate this new normal.
