My family lived next door to Anna and Bill. Knew Evelyn through them. She was always kind and sweet. She will be remembered.
Evelyn & Ray Boland were my Bingo and gambling buddies. Years ago, when my late aunt suffered a massive stroke, it was the prayers, kind words that gave me deep strength. My sincere sympathy to the family of this grand lady.
