Our deepest condolences to Evelyn’s family as we recall all the memories of the many events and special times spent with her and her husband Red , during our time at St. Edwards on The Lake, now many years ago.. As we reflect on those years, it’s particularly interesting, how people like Evelyn and Red, have an impact on others lives, that while not perhaps obvious at the time, leave lasting memories.
Our love and prayers to Evelyn’s family and her loved ones.
Joan & Jim McTevia
